[@MerleONeal]

Sorry for any confusion, fam- we had an upload error and had to re-post - thank you for understanding

[@beebeeluna]

I thought I was having a groundhog day moment there for a second.

[@pqrs_987]

i remember seeing the thumbnail on my FYP yesterday and then thought i'd had a hallucination when i went to your channel an hour later and couldn't find it

[@one-eyepadidally8449]

Are you really done with the video now? Can I put this link in my digital notes for recipes and it is going to stay as a link that won’t be deleted? I hope you double check things better in the future before you post them. Thanks.

[@TheUFTEE]

@@one-eyepadidally8449 💀 you need to relax

[@emilydelgado4312]

Thank you for including ingredients and amounts! It all looks delish!

[@sunny5ma]

Love our reigning vegan queen as always!! Merle googling the differences between and definitions of foods is literally me every day, ahaha. Love the video as always and can't wait for the next one!! 🥰🥰

If you live anywhere near a Middle Eastern market you can get pine nuts there for way cheaper! I'm taking like a 16oz for $8. In Arizona there's an amazing place called Baiz market that I frequent. They have PRIME medjool dates too. If you're in Cali I'm sure there's a market like it! I suggest going to these markets for herbs and spices too! Super fresh quality for way cheaper in more heafty amounts! They have such unique and interesting ingredients in general, it's like a self care trip for me shopping at Middle Eastern markets because I have so much fun discovering new things, haha.

🤔 I swear I watched this yesterday?!

[@nikkids4266]

Ok! 😮‍💨. I was soooo confused 😂

[@caro8414]

I’ve been making the first coconut lentil curry for a few years now. I add sweet potatoes to make it heartier. We aren’t vegan at all but it’s a tasty, easy and cozy meal.

[@jenstafford7692]

Ok. I have made all 3 of these and can verify that they are perfectly delicious! I subbed berbere for ras el hanout. Thanks Merle!!

[@ashleyj0]

Lentils & i have a love hate relationship. I love them, but uhm... once they leave my tummy it gets.. well... 😅 i've been vegan for decades & i've eaten probly half a field of lentils by now & this has never changed for me, sadly. A lot of ppl say this about black beans. If i eat them on a regular basis they don't have the negative effects, but lentils just don't give up. But these look amazing. I love garbanzo beans! And that dress is def your color! Ty for the recipes!

[@spandanah8920]

So we Indians use lentils almost daily in our dishes. SO to counteract the problem you mentioned, we compulsorily use a lots of garlic and ginger in any lentil dishes. Additionally, we also use a spice called as asafoetida also known as hing helps in enhancing flavour and aids digestion. You can try this.

[@ViCT0RiA6]

the excitement i felt when i saw another merle video in one week i thought about how spoiled we are, and then i realized 😁

[@justin_g_smith]

All of these felt very cozy and Autumnal. Such good vibes!

[@MerleONeal]

YOU are cozy and autumnal!

[@brittanyviklund1723]

Love this! I need to use up my dried lentils too and have been wanting to find ways to eat them more regularly-- thanks for this!!! Cooking the stew tonight.

[@MerleONeal]

You are so welcome!

[@kmartistheman]

Sentimental lentil, I go mental for lentil!

[@leonore3349]

Lol you're on a roll

[@MerleONeal]

Sentimental lentil is a killer band name

[@char87misier]

Tip for the coconot curry: I add pumpkin and carrots. Blend it up and use have a creamy soup! Love your videos btw ❤

[@MerleONeal]

Great idea!!

[@zachcain2639]

Love the lentil recipes. Lentils are an underrated super healthy food

[@jonicabeird4657]

Love these!!! Will try!

For ginger and chilli (hot pepper for you Americans) I always keep the leftovers just whole in the freezer. And then slice or grate them when frozen for any dish I need. I’ve even managed to make the ginger milk pudding thing with the frozen ginger, which relies on the enzymes from i believe the skin of the ginger, worked out with my old frozen left over knob of ginger. If you are going to cook the chilli it works great. And even sliced or diced thinly in a salad dressing or something it works great. Though the texture of the once forzen chilli isn’t as crisp as fresh. But both chillies and knobs of ginger I don’t use that often, so it’s nice to have them ready in the freezer when I do need them, and it taste way nicer then the dried powder (though that can also be nice). Fully agree it’s easier to grate frozen or even slightly thawed ginger, then just fresh ginger.

[@sophsunflowers]

Have you got the Ottolenghi Flavour book? There’s a one pot baking tray ragu in there (so it all goes in the oven, very lazy friendly), it’s lentil based and by far my favourite ragu recipe! 😍

[@caityfrost8]

If you're anemic add blackstrap molasses to anything (I like oatmeal). Molasses has an insane amount of iron in it and it's the type that's more easily absorbed by the body

[@MerleONeal]

Good to know!!!

[@elleblanchard22]

On the pine nuts thing: i like to use sunflower seeds instead. It doesn't taste the same, but it does the job! Plus, you can use the raw sunflower seeds to make creamy sauces, akin to cashews :)

[@olgakolomparova4537]

Most I liked salad.It looks absolutely amazing.Thank you

[@zeyneep54]

You should definitely try turkish lentil patties! They are delicious and it is called patties but you don’t fry them or something.you just boil lentils and that’s the only cooking part.

[@peptodismal5431]

You can sub walnuts or sunflower seeds for pine nuts if you’re looking for a more affordable option!

[@umafa1645]

Yum, fun recipes Merle! I've been experimenting with lentil bread, you should try it!

[@MerleONeal]

lentil bread!!! I'm intrigued

[@strawberrysoymilkshake]

Yummm. I love lentils. Gonna get on this

[@madcommodore]

My supermarket sells red lentil flour penne pasta (quite dry texture though even if you boil the buggery out of them) and I make 'as good as real' sausages with soaked red lentils with a few other things added which are awesome if not exactly low fat. I tested the sausages in sausage rolls and none of my family noticed they are not pork sausages :)

[@purple.yellow.polkadotdino]

Omg the last recipe is basically 'torka' to us Bangalis. I love seeing similarities between foods from different regions.

[@Nononoohoh]

Maybe weird, but I LOVE lentils lol. And I like Merle! Thanks Merle for lentil inspiration :)

[@MerleONeal]

of course!!!

[@youllthinkofme2011]

I would add sweet potatoes to the curry, I find it works well with curry flavor.

[@Lukasz_PL-DK_1992]

So my time machine is working after all. Because I've already seen this movie. But it doesn't matter, I'll watch it again😘

[@Livv_it_is]

ohhh so I am here again to show support and make a comment.

[@MerleONeal]

You’re a real one 🥹

[@katarinakrizova2969]

I'll be making some good lentil stew on Saturday💪

[@pqrs_987]

0:17 uhm i don't think that's something you needed to apologize for; i wouldn't've noticed it otherwise 3:02 hmm great tip, thanks! i wish i'd thought of that earlier

[@SoSweetAlmostEvil]

Arms are looking amazing!!! Please maybe some arm workout tips?? Do you have a vegetable you don’t like? Mine is chickpeas I’ve tried so many times.lol

[@anthropomorphicpeanut6160]

Watching your videos makes me feel healthy lol

[@Chewtubehuskyhouse]

Already watched (and tried the curry! 😂) yesterday, but back for the algorithm. 👍🏼

[@MerleONeal]

You’re so nice!!’ Thank you 🙏🏻

[@hettiebrigham8413]

Looks good they All did

[@elizabethaustin8014]

I LOVE Cilantro-tee hee_always stunned/ curious/ surprised by our various “taste buds” 😉

[@JubeiKibagamiFez]

4 35... Culantro. Gotta find it. It's the perfect substitute.

[@woolfel]

try adding some cashew yogurt to the curry. It will add depth of flavor and tangy richness.

[@bryan9154]

How you tried better than Bouillon stock rather than cartons?

[@Almost.Sharon]

I can’t be the only one who thinks Merle and Aria look so similar lol

[@leonore3349]

The green dress😍

[@UmmEss]

That curry is crying out for loads of garlic and onions!

[@logankale3663]

Ya ever watch someones videos on x2 playback? I get a few more when I do that. Red lentils and salad are my fav, I have that for almost every meal, or other meal. Something I do like more though are beans, I think white pinto beans or navy beans are great in the meal w red lentils.

[@UnknownCreaturegr]

Dejavu

[@ChessJitsu]

delish

[@JubeiKibagamiFez]

2 14 Dal is the hindi word for bean...... I think it's hindi, it might be older, but each bean has a name followed by "dal." Urad Dal, chana dal, etc.

[@yvonnebroderick2221]

Yes I watched yesterday lol

[@patrickjcreates]

Amazing video, but you look absolutely fantastic in the dress!

[@MerleONeal]

aw bless ya

[@scienceislove2014]

💚🌱

[@JubeiKibagamiFez]

3 29.......... Even though you get more flavor from the whole seeds, coriander seeds take forever to soften.... And I mean forever.

[@deep_space_dave]

Like leftover lentils, better the second time 🙂

[@melissashelton-ortner7938]

The chopped salad

[@leonore3349]

Salads are cold?

[@JubeiKibagamiFez]

8 55 What's the weight on that container. A lot of nuts are going for like $20\lb right now.

[@MsYoungRacer]

I don’t notice the mic wire…but now I’m looking for it…

[@GyanPrakash]

Same green dress 🤔

[@GyanPrakash]

Is this a reupload 🤔

[@PooPooBanana2]

Merle! When are you going to make babies? There's a birth rate collapse in north america -we aren't the problem, population wise so don't be scared and miss out on the most meaningful experience in life!
