If using dry lentils, rinse and scan lentils for sediments. Add to pot with 2 cups water and bring to a rapid simmer on medium-high heat. Then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook until tender no more crunchiness for 20-30 minutes. Add water when necessary so lentils are just covered. In a deep sauté pan add 16 oz. of soup (1/2 box), 1 can of tomato and tomato paste and spices. Bring sauce to gentle boil -few bubbles, then reduce heat and simmer to reduce sauce with cover off, stirring occasionally. Cook rice. When rice and lentils are done place lentils in soup and tomato sauce and ladle over rice to serve.
Set timers for rice and lentils. Lentils will take longer so start them first and wait to put on rice. Make sure lentils are tender and not firm before serving. Great dish to make when you have leftover rice. You can used canned lentils and cut your cooking time dramatically.
