LENTIL HUNTER with Chef Michael Smith

[@HerAeolianHarp]

Grateful for this celebration of lentils, and he’s the man for the job. Years ago a Turkish colleague made me the most simple standby dish. Lentil salad with Italian parsley, tomato, garlic, a bit of salt, lots of lemon juice and olive oil. A year later, on my first day in Turkey for a teaching job, I was dropped off to my apartment. My Turkish amounted to five words that first day. Nobody awaited me at the apartment, and there was nothing in my fridge. I left and tried to orient myself. Five blocks later I found a small market. I bought the ingredients from my former colleague’s lentil salad recipe and had the most nourishing first meal in Turkey, made by myself! Thank you, humble and tasty lentils!

I looked for lentil soup everywhere I visited in Turkey, I could eat it as a meal + Borek

It's very satisfying to know that a great Chef Michael Smith has simple and fine recipes for vegetarians !!

I was born in India and lived and traveled the world. Lentils have been my cradle food, and comfort food to this day. But I had no idea that Canada is such a huge producer. Bravo Michael. Super tour de force of the lentil trail.

[@chabby108]

Hi Michael. I really enjoyed your trip to various countries around the world cooking and tasting lentils. Thanks for sharing.

[@kurrijhaj]

I love watching this over and over again. I love michael Smith and I love lentils. it's nice to know canada grows lentils. one of the thing on my list is to go to Canadian lentil farm at harvest time and cook like 100 lentil dishes for them. 😊

[@briananderson2219]

Nine minutes 30 seconds in, you are a demigod for you and your viewers love of lentils. I admire you so much please keep up the good work bra!

[@debbiem9118]

I made what started out to be a basic chicken soup, holy trinity with rosemary and thyme, instead of adding rice or noodles I added lentils and pureed the soup then added a little cream, simple and delicious.. After watching Michael Smith's travels around the world for best lentil recipes I'm excited to try many more lentil dishes with exotic spices.

[@Pegsboy1013]

Who would have thought, we had such a reputation all around the world with something such as lentils. I sometimes think we are too humble. Bravo Canada!

[@Sandrae7560]

I absolutely love this! I know I'll keep coming back to this for all the recipes offered here😋😋😋 I immediately became a sub🤗

[@Yesitisbrett]

Enjoyable, beautifully presented and fun. Temptingly delicious 😋 Health and best wishes to all 🙏

7:27 the souffle technique is inspiring.

[@HFC786]

Fascinating

[@worldcitizeng6507]

I cannot believe you did not go to Turkey!!! Lentil soup everywhere in Turkey, Istanbul has longer history than Dubai!

[@johnsmith-ht3sy]

Ja here in Kent UK is an amazing Turkey Restaurant that makes amazing Lentil soup.

[@raibeart1955]

As a French Classical trained Scottish chef .this is FFFart on a plate. By the way soufflés are easy when you know how to- or let someone who does. This is a JOKE. 😂❤

[@briananderson2219]

That chick said it right add the vinegar early because of the toughness it rings! It makes lentils feel so much more like meat to the tooth

[@sethgunn2385]

LENTIIILLLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@adamchurvis1]

"We have to be very quiet when hunting lentils, as they scare easily. If you look just past that bush, you'll see lentils feeding as a family. Typically it's the mother who gathers for her pups, but today we're also seeing the father chip in. Notice that the little ones are-- CRIKEY! IT'S A GARBANZO BEAN! Lentils are deathly afraid of the Garbanzo Bean because they're natural enemies. The lentils are scattering so that at most one lentil will far victim and the remaining herd will survive. It looks like he's pounced on one of the smaller female lentils, a split Masoor Dal named Shakthi. But death is a way of life in Canada's Great Lentil Fields, and there is no better place on Earth to witness the terrible wonders of survival of the fittest."

After watching a biblical KZbin channel of how people in ancient time ate lentils and grains.I wanted to learn more about them.

Your humility makes you such a rockstar! I find you up there with Anthony Bourdain! You are the wholesome polite version of a hard-core American chef! You are a awesome fucker! Please keep the lentil dish is coming

[@briananderson2219]

If I ever get the chance I will visit the lentil p town

[@peapod8]

Keep the lentils, lose the foie gras.

[@RICDirector]

No, no, no.....

[@christopherrichardwadedett4100]

I want a Lentil hoagie in a New York Dog.

[@briananderson2219]

You only say Canadian lentils are the best in the world because they are. If you guys up there in Canada did not grow the best lentils in the world, you would not be able to say that.

[@Master_Blackthorne]
