A little late to the party, but tried this last weekend with the following modifications: used half black and half red lentils (whole, not split), vegan broth and a bay leaf! Awesome! I've been so used to using lentils of ANY kind in curries... love that I've got a whole new world now. Thx.

[@etherdog]

We come not to bury lentils, but to braise them. Nice recipe Chef John!

[@LilNerdy1107]

There is just something about your voice that makes these tutorials more fun than anyone else's tutorials. =)

[@LivingInKerala]

This recipe is so simple yet so delicious! We had it last night. I prepared it exactly as you did, except I used only ghee in the dish and also 2 bay leaves. To take it a level further and really through the roof, I added a dollup of plain yogurt at the end and OMG it took it to a whole new level of yum I didn't even know existed! My whole family loved this dish. Thank you for this recipe thats so simple but SOOOOO yummy. More lentil recipes please!!!

[@graciebradford]

"you are the boss of your legumes!" haha love chef john

[@GENIAyCABALLO]

Oh, please, more lentil recipes! TY, TY, TY!!!

[@montalvoreynoso]

Just made lentils yesterday - YUM! One of my comfort foods. Cultural note: lentils are served with a fried egg and a side of white rice in Colombia, South America. Really enjoy your work.

[@briananderson2219]

Absolutely love your South American style! To all of the other viewers I know a fried egg sounds WTF, just give it a try it is unbelievably good particularly if you fry the edges of the egg a little bit crispy

[@briananderson2219]

And add a little bit of aged cayenne with vinegar. Frank’s hot sauce, will take this dish to an entire Nother level

[@foodwishes]

I like how it tastes.

[@foodwishes]

I stand by my statement.

[@B1GB3RN]

"Did I add a little cayenne to mine? I'm not saying!" That means yes!

[@_TommyP]

11 years later I’m still wondering

[@digitalbladeca]

All of Chef John's recipes turn out amazing, this is no exception. Delicious! One major thing that goes so well with lentils (ever since I was a kid) is chunks of good Balkan Feta cheese. Can't get enough :)

[@docmalthus]

Wonderful recipe! @ 4:12 I used a splash of Umeboshi plum vinegar. Delicious!

[@idothings100]

"Isn't it obvious, I wanted to burn my fingertips" LOL!

[@m1ssturtle]

i honestly don't even cook nor do i intend to start cooking, i just watch your stuff because i freakin' love you.

[@angelonicassio7131]

Where is he now? I am sure that I watch more cooking videos than anyone here. But chef John is one of the all time best on KZbin. I mean it-from Julia Child to bbq Pits Boys-I’ve watched them all and chef John has never missed! Hope he is healthy and happy!

[@AbeVonThrash]

Your voice is very comforting. Love all your recipes :)

[@tina-joyherrick3622]

Looks super easy - love it. Have a 25 pound bag of black lentils and looking for some new ways to cook them. Thanks!

[@heartSLB]

You just brought me memories of my childhood. My great-grandmother used to make these in a so deliciously way!!

[@intractablemaskvpmGy]

The secret to great lentils is to stop when they are "aldente" and let them sit off the heat to finish cooking and absorbing. That way you get individual cooked lentils and not mush with empty skins. If I want mush then split lentils (dal) works far better.

[@catrinadaz7]

I love this chef...no matter some of you haters say....he makes it fun!!!

[@Knightswhosaynee]

Who does’t Love chef John?

[@Millienfilm81]

Making this recipe in Berlin as we speak, but using brown lentils. Thanks Chef John, I love this channel.

[@mchangmi]

Thank you so much for your recipe!! I tried this one tonight with similar ingredients that I had on hand, and it turned out delicious.

[@guyeggleton6105]

just made this... came out so good, great tip on the vinegar at the end!! thank you for this will be making it more often

[@pavkata97]

Your character and spirit are fun and refreshing! ^_^

[@beauty4ashes813]

I really don't make any of this stuff but I love to watch your videos because you're knowledgeable, entertaining, and your video editing is always top-notch =]

[@indeediamamom]

Made this with green lentils. All butter and extra Cayenne! It was amazing!

[@ropergirl3]

I love watching and listening to you commentate !! :)

[@Pawpkornz]

I have watched just about every one of your videos... I think I'm addicted.

[@OutletFlow]

you are the master of your own domain.

[@Chryshna]

Wonderful side dish, one of my favourites. Thank you, Chef John!

[@mviera70]

Just made some and I'm one of those "people" so I used just water but added little more salt and I didn't have fresh herbs :( so I used dried basil and dried parsley. Also little garlic. It turned out delicious! Thanks for the recipe! :)

[@Glenda70]

This looks fabulous - and good for you too.. It doesn't get any better...

[@angelalita77]

3:27 “why didn’t u just use your freakishly small wooden spoon. Isn’t it obvious? I wanted to burn my fingertips….duh!” Ok that made me chuckle 😆

[@newguy90]

That's what I was thinking. I do something similar when I make black lentils, but I brown some chopped bacon (or chopped Italian sausage out of the casing) in the butter before softening the mirepoix. I also add spinach leaves and red wine. But then again, I make a meal out of lentils, with a side of corn bread.

[@aliciaconnor2896]

Maybe it was national or international lentil day the Canadian lentil association has great recipes ❤ thanks Chef John

[@mkapper9800]

Ive made beluga lentils many times and this looks inedible.

[@vol951]

made this with green lentils it was easy and great and the left overs are going to be lunch at work tomarrow, Thumbs Up!!!

[@marcelmarcel5901]

"I do judge behind youre back" that was funny af

[@deborahdevlin9354]

Trying this tonight.

[@soet01]

I've made this tonight and it's delicious 😃 Very nice dish and very tasteful! Even my boyfriend liked it and he's not very adventurous with food!

[@clarethalvarez4024]

I loved your video! It was easy to follow and the lentils came out just like in your segment!

[@EpicUXnl]

I haven't had lentils since my childhood. It really is one of those 'forgotten' vegetables huh. Must give it a try again soon. This recipe is the perfect excuse!

[@frigginyup]

The reason you may be getting requests for this is because Ramadan is beginning today for muslims, and this type of lentil preparation is popular for breaking fast! Thanks for the great video!

[@aregst]

I thank you for having chnaged the intonation. A very good presentation!! Wish you all the best

[@brendacunningham5070]

They ARE Very High In Protein From What Innerstand💚💚💚💚...I Just Purchased To Bags Of Premium Quality Black Lentils...Wanted To Know Some GOOD Ways To Prepare Them...Thank You For The Presentation...I Will Keep Looking For Ways To Make Them Fun To Eat💚💚💚💚🎊🎊🎊🎊🦅🦅🦅🦅

[@suziequzie]

I'm going to make this with green lentils (I happen to have them on hand). I'm sure it will still taste as good.

[@ahamatmabrahman]

those black lentils must be packed with iron as well as protein Good recipe thanks for taking the time to share it

[@darklotuslord13]

great video as always...and thank you for not being one of those people who taste their food and then do the "Mmm oh yeah" and then everyone how great it was :)

[@bumblur]

Plus, the butter/oil mix has a higher smoke point than butter alone allowing you to saute at higher temp and get that nice butter taste.

[@NoobsyPoopsy]

I love lentils. Especially persian lentil soup!

[@c.h.ingate5271]

I cook with lentils often but have never seen black lentils. If I ever see them, will buy.

[@SkeletonBill]

I can believe that one person would not know what lentils are, but for you to get 49 thumbs up is just astounding.

[@soledadmm]

Down here in the south is winter and at this time of the year a tipical dish is lentil stew.

[@rudendrunk]

Chef John, you read my mind. I had lentils at a restaurant and couldn't stop wondering how to cook it!

[@chuckiebaby2000]

This is mah-ve-Lou's. Made it three weeks in a row. I found these gorgeous lentils at Whole Foods. They were in the bulk section and they were not pricey.

[@heatherburch7697]

Put them in your own reusable cloth bag or jar and you have zero waste deliciousness!

[@Dimorall]

Chef John, thank you for giving me a kick to learn how to cook tasty dishes the easy way! :D I wish you would make more videos with Asian cuisine~

[@Grub4Gamers]

Hmm, I think we need a chef john kitchen tour. Would love to see it all. :)

[@foodwishes]

I don't buy dirty lentils.

[@donnae1994]

Food Wishe

[@missmary333]

It's ok... I might judge you a little behind your back as well. But I can't wait to try this (veggie stock, of course!). I can just tell I'm gonna love it!

[@TheAstronomyFreak]

I love lentils they're like the healthiest thing in the world!

[@acoow]

I came to the channel to see if you had a lentil recipe and found this. If I hadn't, I would have been one of those suspicious requests. :-) Where did you get your freakishly small wooden spoon?

[@thargor2k]

I love lentils like this...sometimes I add sour cream and cubed tomatoes which is a really nice variation... Perfect fit to a chicken breast

[@weshasawi]

probably for Ramadhan chef :) all the lentil requests

[@fikirteOmond]

You seriously are so awesome! “I wanna burn my finger duh” 😂😂😂😂 Ps i have mastered beef goulash thanks to you!

[@Slazors]

LOOKS DELICIOUS

[@paajkublauj]

Great recipe! Super simple!

[@smartinez020]

Your funny. Love your recipies! Every college student should watch your vids ^_^

[@StudiousOctopus]

Wow, they were actually quite pretty when you added them. I've never cooked black lentils...I use red a lot. May have to try getting some.

[@chapparra101]

I love lentils and this looks like a really great recipe. I will be trying it :D

[@alexpink7]

great recipe! I like lentils soup! But,it's a great side dishes!

[@briananderson2219]

Please bring us more videos with lentils cooked a little more firm. Possibly using a salad, possibly used in a salad that is put in a burrito wrap🤔 Definitely more lentil videos

[@11ni22]

Chef John! There is an easy way to pluck thyme leaves. Just hold the end of the stem and run the stem between the index finger and the thumb of the other hand, going against the arrangement of the leaves.

[@taniariasmith]

CHEF JOHN ... you are the COOLEST!!!

[@joylesstiger]

That parsley looked electric!

[@boryanaboyanova5588]

Great side dish! Can't wait to try it out!

[@pankinyek]

i do at home as you do Chef John!(put in whole thyme with stolks) but there is a reason why not to do so, stalks when cooked give a little bit of bitterness...

[@sediye]

OMG I LOVE U! THIS IS INCREDIBLE, YOUR COMMENTARY TOO.

[@cosmocat12]

Looks wonderful, I am sure going to try it. Just wondering if you can do a cooking clip with quinoa?

[@CWR032]

Sage advice.

[@evahamrick3282]

I hope brown lentils will work because I have a lot of them and this looks very good.

[@maarakailet1]

Love lentil soup, must try this

[@Nerflover10097]

awesome vid chef john

[@suryarofl]

yo chef john make a cooking vid with your family or spouse with you! that would be legit!

[@foodwishes]

That's true, but only for the larger beans, like black or pinto. These are so small it doesn't matter.

[@Casey_R1021]

Yum! New way to make lentils! Thank you!

[@Qieth]

You know, I don't usually cook lentils. Like, I've never cooked lentils. But this looks so good, I think I'll have to try :P

[@triki1988]

I like you so much I'm willing to put up with the 15 seconds of Acuvue advertising before the video.

[@ohmygod666]

yes!

[@bmortloff]

My partner loves this. So easy.

[@SandyLu1111]

I love adding Bacon to my lentils mmmmmmmm!! So gooood!

[@nickw22689]

I would recommend soaking lentils overnight; helps you get their full nutritional benefit and reduces gastric irritation.

[@cloggso]

Superb as usual uncle John splendid XXX

[@hooblahman]

Thank yo! I was looking for a delicious lentil recipe and this is it!

[@CraZyAzNdReaMeR]

Great! I'll cook this for dinner! Thank you, Chef John!!! :)

[@HeatherMooreMusic]

Definitely going to mirepoix this up with the canned lentils I have sitting around.

[@RABthefirst]

Aah. Great! I'll be making this soon then. Thanks, Chef.

[@boyshanks]

Quick question. After I cook black lentils using this method, can I let them cool and use them as part of lentil salad? Thanks

[@cokebaronacn]

They are little vegetable thingies. Quite tasty.

[@RABthefirst]

I was told never to use salt with beans because it makes the hard. Does that not count with lentils or was the amount small enough to not mater? Thanks for another cool video.

[@bmstoddard]

Can you soak belugas and if so how long? Cook faster after soaking and pouring off water
