The number one thing that got me through the pandemic was lentils in the crock pot. Lentils are cheap, nutritious and you can do anything within the imagination with them.

[@msgambate88]

Chris is the Bob Ross of cooking...

[@markbsb7176]

soldier is correct, worschester sauce has anchovies which us vegan dont eat, but lots of great alternatives. thanks for another great recipie.

[@trippeehippee]

I made this tonite and soooo good. I was able to find the browning sauce in my regular supermarket all the way up here in Calgary, Alberta, Canada! I baked mine in my cast iron dutch oven @ 275 deg. for 5 hours and they turned out perfect! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@matthewreeves8408]

Excellent. It's now sitting in my slow cooker on this cold Canadian winter afternoon. I can't wait for the aroma.

Hi Chris! Long time watcher, first time commenter. I eat vegan myself and I am pretty sure I have cooked every single one of your #meatfreemonday recipes. Thank you so much for sharing these recipes! I also recreate your chicken recipes with vegan chicken substitues, which is a delight as well. Have a beautiful day, and thanks again.

[@erickajstevens5737]

Was thinking of making something with the 2 lbs of lentils and pumpkin I have. After seeing this I'm going to make it soon. Thank you for sharing this!!!

[@lylinbest948]

Good morning Chris, omg this looks delish. I could have a bowl with crusty bread for breakfast, with all those aromatics i guess you could onit coconut milk. Glad you are well,stay well and blessed.

[@caribbeanpot]

[@kathleensuite8781]

Prepared this recipe today. Great flavours, Chris! Warning there is a difference between a Slow Cooker and a Crock Pot. Chris I believe that you are using a Crock Pot so all cooked well in 6 hours. My slow cooker has a removable ceramic container sitting in a metal base. After 10 hours the lentils were still hard. I had to finish it up in a turkey roaster in the oven which took another 1 hour - 1.5 hours. Otherwise, all good. Thanks.

[@deboraalexis4016]

Yummy ! Love lentils delicious dishes

[@denniaelliott]

Glad you are well... blessings...happy Monday to you

[@caribbeanpot]

[@sddunlop]

Yummy 😋 I know you put onion and thing but green seasoning is a must .but it looks Yummy.

[@vickiemckinnon6460]

OMG! I want to taste this so bad...this looks and (:smells:) absolutely delicious...the only thing missing is me! Yum yum.

[@islandgirl3330]

Chris. Why the slowcooker? What is the difference in the end result from stewing in a pot? Do you find there a lot of difference between the taste when using stock or water? This is how I was taught to make it from home except for the browning, molasses and syrup. If I used pumpkin instead, would I use so much? I have never cooked it with squash. Anyway I will try your recipe. Thanks

[@jennifersimons9955]

ayyy you did good

[@dreamcatcher6164]

Thank you Chris! Im definitely going to try this. I like to eat vegan once a week. I made your oxtail stew on Saturday, it came out good! Keep making more videos!

[@caribbeanpot]

much luv for using the recipes

[@theoracle888]

I love slow cooker/crock pot meals! It looks delicious, can't wait to try making it. Thank you! 😊

[@bettydiggs2563]

WOWWW that looks delicious, but I don't have the spices you have and it's a bit much for me being I'm cooking for one. 🤣🤣🤣 ALL I have is celery,carrots and a few dried spices ooh and onions. That's enough isn't it to at least taste pretty good, I HOPE. If so I'll try a small pot. 😃😃

[@caribbeanpot]

rock it you way yea - use what you got

[@samhosenbocus2715]

that was tasty man

[@essequiboisland6791]

Chris I made the stew goat yesterday. It was mmm mmm good. Wondering where you got the malases. Bought browning for my black cake. I don't have the art of making the camel from scratch.

[@caribbeanpot]

most grocery stores will have it.. if not use 1-2 tablespoon brown sugar

[@Spadesz93]

Looks good, still learning in the kitchen so please pardon this question: what would you eat this with? Rice? Provision? or just the lentils alone?

[@ThePeoplesUN]

This looks amazing - what all do you grow in your garden?

[@padmawatietulsie3460]

Thanks again ...

[@caribbeanpot]

my pleasure

[@sheriefabarretto4462]

Really want to make this but don’t have pimento peppers or molasses. Any substitutes or can they be left out?

[@donnabrice3770]

Great post! I want to use my slow cooker more often. This looks wonderful 👌 Are those green or brown lentils?

[@caribbeanpot]

funny.. it looks like they could be green, but supposed to be brown

[@regenesis4life]

Love that beard Chef!!!

[@OrangeHairedOne]

Niceness!

[@caribbeanpot]

it is.. do give it a try

[@OrangeHairedOne]

@@caribbeanpot I will

[@crowdakarl3517]

What temperature did you cook it on?

[@ccarmouche1774]

Yummy are those red or brown lentils

[@nikaward6048]

Chris covid come and you get gray? Eh eh ... still looking good at though . Thanks for delicious recipe.

[@caribbeanpot]

smile oui

[@nicknyse25]

What's the brand of slow cooker you have?

[@jamesroper-davis8547]

❤️💛💚

[@meapantz1983]

Just watching this for reassurance as I just pretty much out the same stuff if my slow cooker. I forgot my thyme tho! Criminal

[@meapantz1983]

I also added vodka tho.😂nearly added worcestershire and carrots but I didn't now I'm regretting it

[@alisoncote-rolvink8312]

how many cups of lentils

[@FlowaMan]

Should of put some dumplings in there damn near perfect

[@leeannphilip1585]

Do a slow cooker series for working people like me.

[@kathyvince4808]

What is brownin?

[@monkeeblue]

Liquid gravy browning. Adds colour and a little flavour. If you're in Canada, Grace brand is a good one that's widely available. Mr. Gouda's is another one I find available in Canada. Crosse & Blackwell from the UK is good too and available in North America.

[@leondriag]

What you eat this with?

[@staylor824]

Try rice. I also sop it up with a nice nann or dumpling.

[@caribbeanpot]

on it's own or as a side to anything really

[@zamaraauri3805]

Rice. Dumplings. Veggies. Pie. Anything

[@senoradelvita]

Six hours😲😲 all the veggies are dead. Why not soak the lentils to reduce cook time? Add veggies last so you're not eating chaff.

[@jasonh8212]

Waaay to complicated of a recipe. What was that 100 ingredients? Lol I like my crockpot recipes simple… this is far from simple in terms of the prep. Pass!

[@bernardjohn4699]

What's up with the beard? You look older with that man. Nice food doh.
