I use them and 2 types of lentils, the brown or Greek ones and some red ones for a thickening texture in the sauce, I make my own hot pepper vinegar also, as for the pasta, I like orzo, with the rice they have a similar shape and I cook it with the rice in a rice cooker!.
The vinegar can be made by heating some white vinegar and adding some paprika and chili pepper flakes and letting them sit, as for the sauce, I use a bit of Harissa a Moroccan chili paste, but in a pinch chinese chili garlic sauce with a bit of cumin and olive oil mixed in will do!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
