RECIPE INGREDIENTS
2 cups cooked rice
2 cups cooked penne pasta
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 teaspoon McCormick Ground Cumin, divided
1/2 teaspoon McCormick Garlic Powder
1 cup cooked lentils
1 can (15 ounces) crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon McCormick Ground Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon McCormick Crushed Red Pepper
3 medium yellow squash, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 3 cups)
2 medium onions, thinly sliced (about 2 cups), optional*
DIRECTIONS
