[@sherrcon]

how about following the baggie instructions of the beans?

[@preytec]

I love how happy she was when she tested them. I'm definitely going to try this. Thank you Karen

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

They are delicious!

[@tiffanywinfrey195]

I made these last night. Added fresh minced garlic when added the lentils and salt. Omg these were delish. Used them in my meatless cabbage rolls. Thank you for sharing

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

Your welcome! I am a big garlic fan. I will try that next time!

[@robinc.6791]

I really like these simple lentils. I used vegetable broth instead of water and it was delicious

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

That is a great idea! I will have to try that.

[@trudidolder6122]

I cook my lentils in my pressure cooker (less Vitamin loss) and I cook more then we eat and make a salad from the rest the next day. fresh chopped onions, parsley etc. a good vinegar and salt to taste. Love, love, love it. My Grandmothers recipe.

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

I have not tried making lentils in a pressure cooker yet. I bet they cook super fast!

[@andrewpalacios1363]

Hey I'm 23 and from the Los Angeles, CA area from a dysfunctional household. I'm working to break the poverty cycle, and to find a older woman who enjoys cooking on KZbin is comforting. Currently have some lentils here, and I am a good boy who went to college and I just want to say THANK YOU for showing young Andrew boy this. He really appreciates your love and compassion, something my Mom lacks a lot of.

Made this for the first time with brown lentils (Bob's Red Hill). This was so delicious with white rice!!! Thank you so much for the recipe!!!

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

Your welcome! Glad you were able to try it.

[@Imajoneslady]

Really good... never really had lentils but I tried this simple recipe and my husband and I loved them. Great source of fiber... Thank you for this recipe.

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

Your welcome! I am always surprised how tasty an easy healthy recipe can be. Plus it is inexpensive.

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

I have been making this Lentil recipe for years. It is so easy to make and perfect on rice, potatoes, quinoa, couscous and more! I hope you like them too!

I was a skeptic at first but I am hooked on your recipe!! It's simple, soft and savory!!

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

I am so glad to hear that!

[@re9107]

This recipe is so simple, that I was skeptical. Boy was I wrong! The only thing is I I’d like them less soupy.

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

You can add a bit less water. Keep an eye on them. If they dry out to much you can add more water. I love this recipe. It is great when I don’t know what else to cook.

[@kymallahwillbon9128]

I’m watching this video and making the your lentils recipe right now .. I added garlic and bacon to my onions and some seasonings, I also made a pot of rice! I can’t wait to try this !! 😋

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

That sounds so delicious!

[@devin3762]

I miss old cooking videos like this. Cooking videos today are so impersonal. I will have to try this recipe. Such a great video thank you

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

Your welcome. Are you a Buckeye?

[@devin3762]

Yes

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

@@devin3762 My family are Buckeyes. May parents met at Ohio State. My grandpa helped build the stadium (he passed away a long time ago). He has season tickets for many years so when we were kids we got to go to some of the games. There is nothing my dad loves more than watching the Buckeyes play football. He was in the OSU marching band. Anyways nice to meet you!

[@louisethompson6762]

I soak whole red lentils over night until late the next day changing the water often. Then, I put them in the Instant pot for 13 mins. After they are cooked, I drain the water off. Then, I take it out of the IP & clean the IP & add chopped onion, mushrooms & saute a few mins with oil or water & then add, garlic, nutrition yeast, grated sweet potato, then, I add kombu broth, S& P to it. You can add whatever, you like to eat as, .I have a lot of food allergies so, I have food restrictions. Good Luck! 😊😊

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

Sounds delicious!

[@stephenkeefer3436]

Yummy! I added chicken broth concentrate and shredded carrots. Delicious !!! Thanks for the recipe.

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

That sounds really good. I buy shredded carrots for salads. It would be easy to add those to the lentils. Thanks for sharing that 😀

[@hmng4333]

I have never tried lentils before and this is really delicious! It's simple yet so delicious. I could just eat it like this with rice. Thank u for this recipe! 😍

[@beverlymatsiwe4269]

I tried this last night and my husband and I both enjoyed this recipe!! Glad I found your channel.

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

I am also glad you liked this recipe and found my channel!

[@babygrandma8654]

This is perfect. I've fallen on hard times and had to get food from a local food pantry. In the box, I was given, was a bag of lentils as well as a bag of rice. I've never had lentils so I have no clue what to do with them but I have to feed myself so I turned to KZbin for a recipe and came across this. I still don't know what lentils taste like but I can't be picky right now. I love rice and I love onions so I'm going to give this a try for my dinner. It really sucks to be so low on funds that a person can't afford to feed themselves without help but thank God for a pantry called Gleaners, that not only will help anyone but if you don't have transportation to their pantry, will deliver a box to your door. I fell and broke my foot the middle of September and required some extension surgery to put my foot back together. I broke all 5 metatarsal bones. I'm just now able to walk. I haven't been able to drive so having the food delivered has definitely been a blessing. This looks so good I can hardly wait to give it a go. I like food that's on the spicy flavorful side so I think this will be real good with a dash of cayenne pepper and a few other full flavor spices I haven't decided on just yet. I'm going to just see how it tastes when it's done and go from there. I appreciate videos like this because without them I would be totally lost for what to do with this big bag of lentils. I pray I like the flavor of them since I have no choice but to eat them. Wish me luck and God bless 🙏🧡

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

Hi. I am so sorry you broke your foot. I broke my right foot a few years ago, so I know how it feels (Well, I only broke one metatarsal, so it's not quite the same). I couldn't work or drive either. I love lentils, and they are very easy to cook. I think you should cook the recipe as is the first time so you know how they taste without extra seasonings. After that, you will get some good ideas of what extra seasonings you want to add. Lentils are also good on potatoes. Let me know how your lentils turn out.

[@geekbaritone]

I would add that using homemade chicken or vegetable broth instead of water that has no taste and a bay leaf makes a huge difference.

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

That sounds delicious!

Great recipe. I tried and I enjoyed it a lot. It was my first time but I know next time will be better. Thanks for your clear explanations and for sharing your knowledge.

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

Glad to hear it turned out delicious! It is always easier to make a recipe the second time. I think it will be even better then!

[@cherhonda]

Happy New Year Beautiful🎉 I made several cups of white rice and it dawned on me the lack of nutritional value compared to brown rice and lentils. So as I'm washing dishes I became hungry and remembered I had pounds of lentils in the pantry. Yet, the package did not have directions on how to cook. So I researched on KZbin and you were the 1st recommended video📹 Your recipe is absolutely yummy😋 I made some mashed potatoes and it was a home run!!! Thank You💜

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

That’s great! Thanks for letting me know. I am happy your lentils turned out so yummy! Glad you have more lentils for later 😀.

I signed up for your channel right away. It is truly fantastic. I just opened a channel dedicated to traditional Italian cuisine. It is very nice to see your recipes and discover cuisines from all over the world. We Italians use few spices and rely more on technique, our culture is based more on the exaltation of the main ingredient. You are very good

So after 30min does that mean the water has mostly dried up? Is water suppose to fry after 30min?

Yes the water is mostly gone when the lentils are cooked. If you run out of water before the lentils are cooked add a bit more water.

[@mohammadsamara5055]

one question please. If we need to make lentils to stuff sambosa. Should we keep 3 to 1 ration water to lentils. If we would like to add spices. Which spice you recommend?

[@CookingLessonsforDad]

I would keep the water the same. If you are going to bake the lentils after you cook them on the stove I would under cook them a bit. I would try the lentils without any extra seasoning the first time you make them. If you want to add more seasoning on your second batch I would add some garlic. Also taco seasoning is delicious. Lentils are very versatile. You can experiment with lots of different seasonings. Let me know how your lentils turn out.
