Egyptian Khousari

koushari  A very simple, nutritious meal with macaroni, lentils, rice and coriander-flavored tomato sauce.  When I had it at Nile Market, Fredericksburg it was garnished with crispy fried onions.  I used my new Cuisinart Dutch Oven on top of the stove to make the sauce.  I got the macaroni a bit over done, and I thought I'd like a bit more salt, but besides that, it was good.  This recipe is vegan, though I swore when I had it at Nile Market, it tasted cheesy.  There was no cheese in it, but still.  Maybe it was the olive oil in the tomato sauce.
