RICE AND TOMATOES WITH CUMIN
I made this up when I had some rice and tomatoes left over. It turned out better then the dish I made the rice for -- I used a mix of wild and Jasmine rice, but any rice would do. Time does not include cooking rice.

KUSHARI - EGYPTIAN RICE LENTILS AND TOMATOES
I saw this dish being made on a travel/food program so the measurements are a bit of a guess. I would say this would be about 6 serves. The tomato sauce is quite vinegary. If you a seasoned cook you could cook the lentils, rice and macaroni all together adding the ingredients at the right time so everything finishes cooking at the same time. I like to add a good sprinkle of chilli oil just before serving.
