I'm sure you can list a few more. This is a really nice hearty meal. A belly hug. We spent €5.20 odd euro to create 6 nutritious servings and we included the macros below.

You Lads have been really knocking it our of the park lately. I was never really a lentil person, but lately I've been getting into it more and more. Adding this recipe to my monthly meal prep rotation.

[@PinggWingg]

Thanks guys for yet again an amazing recipe! I love your channel and what you do. From Germany with love :)

[@franfeliplopez101]

Spaniard here! Actually, "lentejas" means literally lentils in Spanish, but it's true that as the stew they referred to is so popular here, when you say that you're gonna eat "lentejas", people already understand you mean that stew, not the legume in any other recipe

[@nothankyou5279]

Thanks guys. Always love your vids!

[@katemckinney7441]

Looks delish! Definitely going to make this on Sunday for my meal prep this week!

[@Apocalypz]

Those colours just scream *AUTUMN* so much! Great recipe!

[@veemercer1698]

Love you guys! My transition to vegetarian has become so easy just by following your recipes.

[@lauranelson9994]

Seriously love these humans. Every recipe I’ve tried has been delicious. They truly are goals!

[@prisillaspace]

Can't wait to make! I have yet to cook lentils or split peas....we love butternut squash....I love roasting the seeds & topping them over. 😋

[@susanninx8805]

Omg made this today gorgeous your nicest yet by far 😍

[@jordanpike1467]

Subscribed! Absolutely loved this video and plan to share it with friends :) Was brought here because “avantgardevegan viewers watched this” haha

[@KE12352]

Love these cost effective meal ideas!

[@spicybiscuit88]

Yes this looks great thanks! More high protein recipes plz. I want to eat more plant based but I find i need to eat a lot of protein and not too much carbs to be satiated and keep my blood sugar stable. Its a great idea not to add a bunch of rice, as i suppose theres still enough carbs in the lentils and peas. X

[@savvynsassy3335]

I'm going to make this this week. Looks delish.

[@stevo091]

Hi good video guys. Definitely want to make this lovely dish this weekend. Hopefully can store in the fridge for 2 days. Cheers .

[@rhondafox64]

Looks delicious... You Guys Are Simply Adorable!!

[@checkyourhead76]

Awesome guys, cheers!

[@ernestoromero3816]

I love lentils (lentejas) my favorite Spanish soup 😋 definitely going to try this recipe 😄👌

[@ashley_alex]

So good! Made this today. Super easy. First time cooking with green lentils. For some reason experienced some abdominal discomfort And a mild headache after consuming Lol. goggled said apparently it’s a thing when consuming lentils 🤷‍♀️ guess I’m somewhat sensitive. But wow super filling meal. The discomfort was worth it. Didn’t even miss the oil.

[@iibnf]

Thanks for this - I'm just learning how to cook the lentils so this is timely.

[@migtolvis]

So glad you know about our beloved Spanish lentejas! Keep up the amazing work you two!

[@fionnualamurphy125]

Me gusta mucho Las lentejas. Pero aqui en Torre del Mar (donde estoy de vacaciones) no tienen lentejas rojos, red split lentils. I prefer them because they cook faster xxx

[@migtolvis]

Yes... Unfortunately red lentils are not common in Spain! They’re usually available at health shops though!

[@fionnualamurphy125]

I got lentejas peladas in the shops today. They cook faster. I'm having them with vegs tonight with Ras El Hanout that I got in the Mercado. They look a bit like red lentils

[@AndrewPawley11]

Superb!

[@gloriaalvarez9473]

I was recently turned on to this page. I am Hispanic and the Irish accent is my fav ;) You guys r amazing. Do u have a recipe book for all your meal prep ideas?

[@yello62]

finally, you hit on the cardio reason for no oil. thank you, lol.

[@keannalightburn9699]

Love u guys

[@fionnualamurphy125]

I'd have this with brown rice. The red beans are a good idea to cut down on cost

[@lorraine8573]

Great video thanks lads but I was wondering could you show us how you make your veg stock please

[@shraddharanawat1271]

Awesome

[@jakedalusio1635]

Love all the ideas. For someone who is allergic to peas & lentils, does anyone have some substitutions that will keep the integrity of the dish?

[@d.h.9278]

Yum!!!

[@Snight101]

Yeah son! That's what I'm talking about.

[@thehappypear]

We destroyed these over the day and day after. Really hearty meals.

[@kirstys4604]

Thankyou so much for this!! It’s so hard to find high protein recipes that are vegan

[@victorarkos]

No it's not lol, but glad you liked this one, just one of a million high protein plant based recipes.

[@musiclove4635]

What do you suggest to use in place of the baked beans? Don't care for them. Thank you.

[@schwarzeeule5465]

I can Not find the recipe on your Side. Do you have a Link?

[@MA-mc7vq]

Yum

[@marienewton2481]

How long will this keep in the fridge? Or will I need to freeze? Thanks

[@Equinox1.5]

Would the lentils cook faster and softer if you boiled them in plain water, or would that affect the flavour adversely? Doesn't salt (e.g. in stock and tamari) make them harder to cook / soften?

[@erinmoorkens7120]

Can somebody please make a compliation of these guys bein happy with the 'sizzle'? (Or however that should be spelled)

[@naturesweety]

Think I am going to make this on the weekend!

[@thehappypear]

Let us know what you think when you do. 😄

[@naturesweety]

I definitely will!! :o)

[@Isansnes]

Is it fine to eat cold or best warm?

[@maimohamed3590]

Gonna follow u in instagram tho😍😋

[@d.h.9278]

Would it be possible to have you include these meal recipes you have been demonstrating on you blog?? It would certainly be helpful for future cooking. Or include the written recipe here? Thank you so much they look wonderful!!!! Hugs to you

[@caramelitta]

just buy their book!!

[@yvonnerenoult1819]

caramelitta not available in USA :(

[@yvonnerenoult1819]

caramelitta oops, it’s just the newest one that isn’t available...yet.

[@mbibi4230]

You didn't wash the lentils

[@duncanwil]

You should also mention the fibre content which must be high.

[@tnuc1968]

Beans, peas & lentils? I fear for the ozone layer over Ireland...💨

[@emalinel]

XD well if you gradually introduce legumes int love your diet and be sure to soak any dry legumes you're consuming you're less likely to 💨

[@elenavicenzi9598]

You can cook legumes with kombu seaweeds and they will lose "this power"

[@stupidperson7908]

yey no oil im gonna make this

[@gavinlane5949]

Link to recipe?

[@aileenmurphy8023]

Looks great. You state this is gluten free but this is only true if you use tamari instead of soy sauce and a gluten free veg stock.

[@SinerakVale]

Is this recipe up online?

[@Snooker-cn3dm]

If you want to eat high protein, you want to skip oil for that reason also. You can eat 4 tablespoon of extra extra virgin oil in a second and you get 480 kcal and 0 grams protein. On the contrary if you eat 480 kcal of soybeans you will be stuffed and you'll get 51 grams of protein.

[@WhateverT997]

But you need to geht somewhere your fat. And from veggies you wont get it. Nuts shouldnt be raten that much because of the omega6 content of them

[@marijnmoleman7703]

Walnuts, chia seeds and flax seeds are high in omega 3 fatty acids, there is no evidence that high nut consumption is bad for you (but loads of evidence on the contrary), soy products usually contain quite a lot of fat and so do avocados. You don't need oil to survive.

[@DaveRaspberry]

processed useless fat like that has no use to us. All these legumes have enough fat for us. sometimes some really really small amount of nuts or nut milk would help that "fear of where do I get fat from". Oil is useless, sickening and poisonous. We never needed that for survival!

[@AliceMariaxD]

The healthy fats are from nuts, avocados, tahini, olives etc and not actual oil. Oil has no benefits.

[@Login1881]

@@AliceMariaxD where do you guys think we get the liquid oils from?? It literally _is_ avocado, sesame, olive, nuts etc but their oil is pressed out, it's neither healthier or worse, the only difference is that if you for example ate the same amount of calories of sunflower seeds and its oil, seeds would of course fill you up easier so only in that sense you can say it's better to consume these foods as they are. but a lil bit of olive oil harms no one

[@jcunconc3984]

Great about health aspects of NO OIL. Next step is NO SALT. I naturally eat with low salt. But no salt really strains the taste buds. But we have to go there.

[@lifeofaimee6259]

Would quinoa be as beneficial (nutritional/protein) as the lentils for this dish?

[@noc838]

Life of Aimée no chance

[@tomv7017]

absolutely,. quinoa and lentil together is a nutritional powerhouse. i like to use any legume with a whole grain

[@noc838]

Vinh Nguyen can you read? She said “as beneficial” which means equal to. Nutritionally lentils and quinoa are not equal.

[@spicybiscuit88]

Not as high in protein but still nutritious. X

[@MrAcook1985]

Guys are the lentils/beans cooked lid off? Which temp did u use?

[@MrsTumachina]

Most times it says on the packaging, how you need to cook them :) i would say lid off and high heat

[@alexs710]

sorry what is the liquid at 2:39 ? Vegstock ? i don't understand what is it, ty

[@annabrown1277]

alex s vegetable stock. U can buy stock cubes that dissolve in boiling water. Or buy fresh vegetable stock. Originally stock was the water from boiled meat bones, hence u can buy chicken or beef stock. But obviously don’t buy that ;)

[@RobHobsonza]

Hey! Love you channel. Your comment doesn't have Chris' Instagram name. Can you please share?

[@513lj]

What could you use in place of baked beans?

[@plantpoweredhealth9383]

Chickpeas?

[@Owls4569]

Baked beans are usually navy beans with a sweet sauce. 2 cans of navy beans and 1/2 tbsp of maple syrup would give a similar flavor.

[@spicybiscuit88]

@@Owls4569 And maybe a tsp tomato puree? Or something tomatoey.

[@macsmiffy2197]

Where have you been? Current science says good fats are absolutely necessary for health. Stick some olive oil in that pan so your body can get the Vitamin A in those orange veggies. The food will taste better too.

[@InspiratieNu]

a note on the protein ratio here. so you put in 500 gr of lentils (=50 grams of P), 2 cans of beans (=9gr x 2 = 18 gr), 750 gr of peas (=5,2 gr per 100 gr so equals 75 gr of P) and maybe 5-10 grams from other veggies in protein - all together the total amount of protein = 50 + 18 + 75 + 10 = 153/6 portions = 25 gr P per portion. What am I missing here? where is the other 15grams as stated in the description?

[@danaallison9791]

They also added nuts at the end for added protein

[@InspiratieNu]

Dana correct but not in a way that it would be 15 gr of P?? they add a handfull of sunflower seeds. maybe 5 gr of P per serving still ... the guys would need to add 100 gr of Sunflower seeds to get 15 gr per portion of P. Not exactly a 'handful'

[@galileoferraritancredi8922]

You're mixing up the protein content of cooked lentils and dried lentils by weight.

[@nemanhao_9058]

Galileo Ferrari Tancredi agree. 500g dry lentils is around 100-110g of protein.

[@hibernius]

Not oil free after the sunflower seeds added!

[@Kilcobert19]

You know what they say about beans though...

[@MA9N0]

So is there 94g of carbs and 17g of fat per serving? Why put them in %?

[@user-jp1ex2vq6d]

In my country one can of beans can not be found under 1,60 dollars.

[@miekekuppen9275]

Any chance with dried beans? Soaked and precooked they freeze well so you can have them on hand quickly.

[@user-jp1ex2vq6d]

Mieke Kuppen Dried beans are not so expensive, 1,80€ for a killo.

[@miekekuppen9275]

@@user-jp1ex2vq6d That´s a really good price for where I live. Every country has its own pros and cons I guess.

[@user-jp1ex2vq6d]

Mieke Kuppen Exactly

[@stoff4963]

29 cents ?

[@60sLondongirl]

We need good oils in our diet and fat is more filling.

[@evg129]

How many grams of carbs are in this?

[@DaveRaspberry]

There's no need to count the carbs. the more the better. We have to watch the grams of our fat intake which is really bad for us. 80%+ carb diets are the best!

[@olajideparis]

I’m from 2023 and this now costs €20

[@C0R4M4]

Why do you make so many references to Spanish recipes? Have you lived here or is just by coincidence?

[@2learn4ever]

I'll try this recipe. Those portions are too big for me so I may get double the amount of meals for myself. I usually come online late at night and I'm never ready for your very loud shout, "YO DUDES". I like your recipes, but shhhhhhhhh!

[@conan_der_barbar]

I don't get the no oil thing, but still great. Mediterranean Cusinie is the most healthy one even though the use loads of oil

[@spicybiscuit88]

I agree. Adding some fat helps with satiety and some vitamins need fat to absorb properly. Each to his own though i guess.

[@Tous-de-le-Doki]

Oil adds unneccesary calories to the dish. Mediterranean Cuisine is healthy despite of the oil it uses, not 'because of'. If you check the nutrients you will see it has 22% of fat which so that should cover the fats imo.

[@jonatanolsen37]

Oil is just as refined aa sugar, and contains no nutrients. ALL food contains fats, we do not need to add it to the food, just as we dont need protein powder or sugar.

[@AliceMariaxD]

There is a difference between oil and fat. Oil has no benefits what so ever, but fats (healthy) such as avocado, nuts, tahini, seeds, olives etc have good benefits for us as they also contain other nutrients than just healthy fats.

[@thriftynative]

I wish I lived in Ireland...These measurements are hard to understand! lol

[@emalinel]

Easiest way, get a kitchen scale :) they're relatively cheap and easy when you're baking anything or counting calories/portioning meals

[@henrymichal8522]

Love this but, your current recipes DO use oil. I am PRO oil FYI.

[@Prancer1231]

People are just way too obsessed with protein. As long as you eat whole foods and get a balance, it is highly unlikely you will suffer any protein deficiency. Pretty much everything contains some protein. People should worry about getting too MUCH protein, as that is very dangerous. I have never heard of anyone from a developed country who had a protein deficiency, even if they ate a junk food diet.

[@tamsinthai]

Your body NEEDS oil. Good healthy oils like olive and coconut. Look it up.

[@vegantina6565]

Is it true that you guys are profiting off of selling/buying animal products???!!! 😢

[@DaveRaspberry]

I'd like to know that too. But I don't think they're ethical vegans cause of their business!
