2:59 That vegetable broth does look STUNNING, nothing better than a great vegetable broth, IMO!!! When I have space for it, I put all my carrot peels, onion peels, bits and pieces left over from prepping food in a big plastic bag in my freezer. Then when it’s full, I make my vegetable broth!!! It is so satisfying to make something delicious out of something we’ve been used to just throwing away!!! Free food!!! 👏👍❤❤❤🤗

[@garywallenphd885]

For the meatballs don’t drain the chickpeas and leave out the egg (juice is aquafaba and is the egg substitute). Now you have a good vegan meatball. 👍

[@munchiemondays6188]

Genius!!!

[@TheHungarianOak]

he is not vegan, so why should he leave them out. You make your own way, dont tell others to cook according to your taste

​@@TheHungarianOakI don't think it is meant to be critical. Just advice to compliment the recipe for those who don't eat eggs.

[@munchiemondays6188]

@@TheHungarianOak im very grateful that he pointed out the alternative.

What a fantastic soup. Made it today, absolutely loved it. Made one small change. At the end I used a hand blender for a short time to thicken the soup a bit.

Sounds great! Much love :)

That's so easy to veganize! I look forward to making it because it looks yummy😋

I am not a vegetarian but I am trying to eat a more plant-forward diet, and I have to say that your veggie dishes are great, Albert! I can't wait to try this one.

And also soooo cheap and easily available to people all over the world and also so delicious!!! I learned something about lentils a year or two ago that surprised me totally. I had been watching lots of Indian videos here on KZbin where they made dal (lentil) recipes. Then someone asked about which country made the most lentils in this world. I always thought it was India, but I had been wrong all this time. Actually India can’t make enough. They are the biggest importer and consumer of lentils though. The largest lentil farming and exporting country though is CANADA!!! I had NOOOOO idea!!! How’s that for a cool «fun fact»? 🤗♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️

7:29 OMG, what a beautiful bowl of vegetarian goodness - such soul food!!! These I have to enjoy!!! If I should change it up a bit, I would make vegetarian meatballs like I usually make with a vegan mince meat I love instead. Depends on if I’m in the mood for chickpeas or not. But chickpeas are both very delicious and sooooo good for us, so these balls are great! I bet they could be great to adapt a little to make matzah balls too, for those who makes Matzah ball soup (I never tried it, but plan to, as it looks soooo good!!!). I would also use vegan eggs instead of the actual eggs, as I don’t use eggs. In this I would use a flaxseed «egg» and add a little vegan cooking egg as well (I love Orgran’s, I use it for fried rice and other things!). Would both bind wonderfully and make it taste real yummy!!! Oh well, sorry for going off on top of that proverbial soap box, I guess I got a bit carried away… 🤗♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️

[@pjwroblewski]

That looks delicious. For Christmas dinner, I made your chickpea balls in paprika sauce. I did cheat and use a food processor. When my sourdough bread gets stale, I turn them into bread crumbs, which is what I used in the balls. It was the hit of the dinner. Considering I made rib roast and garden fresh eggplant parmigiano. That is saying something. Thanks again for that video.

I’m not too fond of bell peppers (paprika for some of us) in cooked food. Do you have an idea for something else to add instead of it? Thanks a lot!!! ❤❤❤

[@SpainonaFork]

A dash of chili powder would work! Much love :)

[@behringerm]

Aqua fava (the liquid drained from the chickpeas can substitute for egg whites (even whip up like a meringue). Could this be substituted to make the veggie balls vegan?

[@madelinevegas8123]

Do I have to ad a egg to the meat balls ?

[@jeffreyahlgren7765]

I think the egg is mainly used as a binder for the “meatball” recipe. I plan to use “Plants from Eggs” from Just Egg instead to make it vegan. You could also likely use some ground flax seed in water in place of the egg. A 1/4 cup of aquafaba might also work but I haven’t tried that substitution myself.

[@love_in_an_echo_chamber]

@@jeffreyahlgren7765I don’t think aquafaba will work well here because it’s so delicate but the flax seed or egg replacer powder will definitely bind the mixture, even holding together with the steam.

[@susandean8584]

A flax egg would probably work.

[@chris210352]

I am thinking of using kofta meatballs instead. ☺️

[@SpainonaFork]

Sounds great! Much love :)

[@luluandmeow]

If you'd left the egg out you could have made the perfect vegan meal, the egg is just a binding agent, you don't actually need it, try making the veggie balls without

[@TheHungarianOak]

You need to stop telling people how to eat. Obviously he eats eggs, so why would he leave it out? Leave them out if you want to.

Good-tasting vegan/vegetarian/“plant-based” food is inherently a contradiction in terms.
