[@katemoncrieff5774]

This video is so helpful - thank you! I was also quite confused by the various cooking times etc. so it is nice to know that it is not just me! Also I like that you actually speak (rather than playing awful music that I have to mute).

[@CookingCompanionTV]

Hi!! Yeah once I broke it down for myself, it all made more sense!

Have never cooked lentils before but my ex wife used to do this sometimes and they were lovely in stews and soups. I shall try cooking them in a butter chicken sauce along with some small pieces of chicken - thanks for the heads up!!

[@CookingCompanionTV]

Ooo! That will be lovely!

[@sgrew]

sorting through lentils!!! I used to do that with my mom!! Brings back memories , LOL

[@CookingCompanionTV]

Try it with a buzz! ;)

[@PoemsRunAground]

This is awesome thanks! I added my salt at the start my book said not to now I still don’t know lol! Great info regardless!

[@CookingCompanionTV]

I know - I’ve seen it both ways. But I saw more sources saying it was fine to add at the beginning. Lentils are so small that I’m not sure it makes a noticeable difference in texture.

[@RICDirector]

From what Ive heard, salt should wait til at least halfway. THANK YOU for going through SORTING!! I lost part of a tooth to a rock....and NOBODY discusses sorting, just rinsing!

[@mikeritter2979]

Some people say to drink the barley water too . Thanks for the video 👍

[@CookingCompanionTV]

@@mikeritter2979 I think I’ve heard that! I don’t remember what it’s good for though.

Wow I wish we had a store that had good foods like that. I enjoy lentils and lagoons and beans.

[@CookingCompanionTV]

It’s a bit dangerous….I’ll walk in for black pepper and risotto rice and walk out with $100 of OTHER goodies

[@brendaspencer18]

Should I buy organic?

[@CookingCompanionTV]

If you can afford them, it’s worth it.

[@JohnShoultz-vt7ev]

Beans and wine and tactile oh my

[@thommysides4616]

I bought a mixed bag of lentils - no black ones in there, but every other color, so what do I do? Ha ha..... Well, I guess I could just throw them in the pot and say.... "Whatever will be will be!" Lol.... Cheers!

[@CookingCompanionTV]

Oh wow! How interesting! I think you just lean into it! However, if you decide to separate them (hahahahha!) please update me!

Did we have to know you are drunk when doing the video? Really?

[@CookingCompanionTV]

Buzzed ain’t drunk yo

[@thommysides4616]

Hey James, have you ever read Psalm 104:15? I guess old King David shouldn't have wrote in the bible that wine cheered him up when he was down. Yes, it can be abused, but in moderation it's a gift from God. Psalm 104: 15 "And wine, which makes a human heart cheerful, So that he makes his face gleam with oil."

[@lazana1942]

You talk to much..

[@CookingCompanionTV]

@@lazana1942 you don’t read enough.

[@RICDirector]

So do you. Try listening.
