The following recipe will feed about 4 people. I doubled the recipe and it made TONS of leftovers, some of which I bagged into individual serving sizes in zipper bags and froze (these also reheated well). It is an Egyptian dish that blends rice, lentils tomatoes and savory seasonings into a beautifully layered, filling, nutritious meal. I will take this to the next potluck because it was so easy to make!
