    This was wonderful, sort of a Middle Eastern goulash. The instructions seemed a bit vague to me but I loved the result. I used brown rice so I put the lentils and rice in a saucepan with 4 cups of water and cooked it completely, soaking up all the liquid, in 45 minutes. I made the sauce with tomatoes with green chiles and loved the kick it gave this recipe. I simply folded the rice mixture, cooked pasta and sauce together and served.
