This is the meal that CHANGED MY LIFE | How to make great plant based recipes

[@thenarddogcooks]

I pulled some old footage of one of my favorite plant based recipes. My seasoned family may notice that Baby Whisk hasn’t yet been born 🥹😅

[@Anna-s3g8j]

Happy New Year to you and your family! 🎉 I always love your recipes, and this one looks so simple and quick, yet delicious, so a good weeknight meal option. Thank you! I hope 2024 is a great year for you. Keep cooking 😁

[@andreabellini6796]

I was looking for her. Pre baby whisk days

[@letsbeencouraged3074]

Because I was like ummm, where's that baby whisk I'm (We're) use to seeing 😂 Btw, enjoying Your other channel too with Your Beautiful Wife 😊 Be Blessed 😇

[@charleshouston2040]

I need a baby wisk…every time I cook now the kiddos ask where's mine. Followed by a disapproving head shake and the gentle but strong whisper of the word…fail

[@susancrowe3999]

I was just about to say, "where's baby whisk!!??" 😂😂

[@vanessaarsenault9938]

I’m here after watching “You Are What You Eat” over on Netflix. Although not ready to leap into a vegan diet outright, I will prepare at least three plant based meals a week for my family this year (I currently do 1-2). I’m loving your presentation and recipes. I’m going back through your videos today meal and grocery list prepping. I’m excited. New subscriber. 🇨🇦

[@thenarddogcooks]

❤️ thank you so much for tuning in! It took me years to go vegan. i started with 1 meal a week for a month, then 2, then 3 and so on (similar to you). Soon i collected so many recipes I liked i was about to a month. go at your own pace. you got this! 🙌🏾🫶🏾

[@southofoz3]

haha i just watched that show too and here i am looking for vegan recipes

[@Gronkiy]

Good job you got this!

[@CherIsmail]

I love Andrew’s channel! His meals are fantastic. Other channels to look at are, Simnet Nutrition, Pick up Limes and Rainbow plant Life (Nisha).

[@judithrochon7837]

Welcome to conscious eating.

[@henrymichal8522]

I am neither vego or vegan but I am so going to try this. I need more vege based dishes in my life.Yours look so approachable. Thank you Andrew.

[@thenarddogcooks]

🙌🏾 thank you so much! enjoy!

[@carl13579]

It makes me happy that you are using your broccoli bottoms.

[@TheBradleyd1146]

I throw mine away.

[@zoielafitasquire]

I was like, yes! Made me happy, too 😊

[@heartshapedisle]

​@@TheBradleyd1146 just peel them. They will be delicious and not woody at all.

[@gwendolynsmith9532]

@@TheBradleyd1146 😢 The bottoms actually taste good, if you peel off the “barky” part and slice them. They have a taste that is different from the top of the broccoli. It’s worth trying at least once. 😊

[@kategold16]

me too, I thought 'no way they're getting thrown away, I hope not anyway' then 'Phew, in they go'

[@MrStingelray]

I’m watching this all the way from Scotland. I absolutely love the format, the style and the content of these videos. I’ve watched KZbin for years and these are some of the best cookery videos I’ve watched. I’m a huge fan!

[@thenarddogcooks]

😍 Wow! thank you so so much! 🙏🏾 im so grateful

[@jgreen9361]

Love the recipe. Nutritionists say brown rice is better than white rice for health reasons. But many, including me, don’t like the taste of whole grain rice. I have cracked it. One part whole grain rice, one part white rice, one part brown lentils. Delicious and nutty with a very faint black pepper note to the taste and contains more fibre and protein than white rice alone. One tip, the white rice has a slightly shorter cooking time, cook the brown rice and lentils for 5 minutes before adding the white rice and then cook until all 3 are cooked together.

[@Dontbeahypocrite5]

I just made this, and it is restaurant quality. I have made 3 of your dishes thus far, and they were great. There's only about 4 or 5 tubers whose dishes have never failed me. Your dishes are truly trustworthy and top-notch. Thanks

[@oliviawitherspoon3468]

What are the rest names...so I can add them to my catalog

[@alisondorantes-garcia5751]

Thank you for making affordable, easy to replicate vegan meals! Helping my family eat more plant-based diets has helped them lower their bad cholesterol and maintain healthier blood sugar levels. Gonna add this to the rotation.

[@thenarddogcooks]

🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️

[@EatSleepEmpire]

Incredible. About two months ago I had to overhaul my eating for health reasons, and I went back to basics and tried to make the ultimate healthy, cheap, quick, tasty meal that was all fresh and whole foods, and I came up with almost the exact same dish, minus the chickpeas and nuts. By the time the rice finishes cooking, the the rest of the meal is prepped and cooked. Rice is easier on the stomach than other carbs, the garlic is working overtime for your health, I also go heavy on the pepper and ginger. Broccoli, especially burnt/charred slightly undercooked, is so satisfying and tasty, it’s really overlooked. You can also tweak it for Asian flavors, or European flavors, or Mexican, and if being vegan isn’t a necessity, you can add prawns or seafood or a little beef. But honestly in its vegan form it’s so satisfying.

[@thenarddogcooks]

🙌🏾 thanks for sharing!

[@msbrig1]

Thank you for your input! Great info for those like me who are watching (my 2nd video) and aren't vegan. I would like to add a couple of meals to my rotation though.

[@crystaltherapy]

Really great recipes are key to staying plant based. IF the food does not taste good and has a boring flavor profile, you will not stick with it. Your channel can be a game changer for a lot of people.TY!

[@piaogilvie8463]

Great recipe. Thank you. Vegan for the animals💚

[@lauratanln]

I acquired a taste for plain food just like everyone acquired the taste of cooked marinated meat from young. So it helps me differentiate the different ingredients in a dish.

[@ashleywest9635]

I made this for my family tonight, and the children gave me two thumbs up. This meal was delicious, I see why you said that you eat this often. It was very flavorful and filling. Thank you. I am getting very close to adopting a plant based diet. 👍🏽👍🏽

[@MessyJanderson]

Made this tonight. I’ve made a handful of your recipes. All have been great. This was maybe my fave so far. I’ve been V for 25 years and always looking for something new, easy and delicious and nourishing. I’m big on stir fry style take out food as well. So easy to make it cheap and healthy. I swear This is the kind of food that I lived off of the first 10 years of living on plants and what I still go to a couple times a week at least. Simple, affordable, nutrient dense and so tasty. Thanks for spreading the word and knowledge on all this, Andrew. It’s a magical life. Plants forever.✌🏻

[@dorothyshelton]

I am trying this today. Thank you for sharing. One of the hardest parts of plant based eating is finding simple and delicious main meals but you have really made it easy to create them, follow along and most importantly make em tasty

[@imtherapycat]

I love this recipe (as in going to make it tomorrow) as well as your tips! Just as an alternative with the broccoli though: I always use the stems, but I peel them. It doesn't really take long, and then the stems cook just as quickly and tenderly as the florets. I started doing it back when you could only buy whole heads of broccoli (crowns weren't a thing yet) and I couldn't bear to waste the lovely stems! Thanks again for an inspiring recipe!

[@pieohpie]

I love how you now show the amount in grams ❤ makes it way easier to prep :) i will definitely make this, thank you 🙏🏼

[@thenarddogcooks]

❤️ so happy you said this! its a bit more work but as long as its useful, i dont mind at all! 🙏🏾

[@ensoyama]

Just wanna say that I love your recipes, basically only cook your dishes now ! It is balanced, nutritious and delicious and was enough to get rid of the last plant alternative I was using. Supporting you from today ! Keep the good work in 2024 !

[@thenarddogcooks]

🙌🏾❤️ this means a lot! thank you so much! 🙏🏾

[@ensoyama]

@@thenarddogcooks You're quite welcome ! Keep the love goin on ! ❤️

[@maudiefricker]

I’ve been vegan since 1979 and still have those ‘protein withdrawals’ of sorts. Hunger pains are definitely hormonal so the ebb and flow of how much you need to feel satiated changes daily. Probably more so for women , but it’s something we all should keep in mind.

[@soloist777]

I've been vegan for over a decade now. I'm curious what these protein withdrawals are as I don't think I've ever experienced them.

[@theresamay9481]

My mom became vegetarian in 1969 after reading Diet for a Small Planet. Later she was macrobiotic for 10 years. Now she's 88, she started eating chicken a few years ago because she was "always hungry."

[@dianeboothjones9074]

Enjoying many of your recipes. Love the orderly presentation and quiet delivery.

[@SecondWindWorkshop]

New subscriber here. Almost 10 years ago we tried the Forks Over Knives vegan diet for about a year and I dropped some serious lbs. I went from about 265 to 220 over the course of that year, and then we just kind of went lax, got bored, got more busy, etc...insert all the excuses here. I've just retired a couple weeks ago and really want to focus on my health going forward. This recipe looks great and I'm looking over some of you other videos and getting very interested again. I'm seeing in the comments that quite a few folks focus are adding vegan/vegetarian meals into their meal planning...say 3 or 4 meals a week to build it up in their lifestyle. I really like that approach! I think we'll start working that into our plan as well. Having great recipes and ideas will definitely make a difference. I'm back to floating around that 255-260 weight again and I'm missing the energy and the relief on my back and knees at the lower weight. Looking forward to digging into some of your past videos!

[@thenarddogcooks]

i agree, 🙌🏾 thanks for sharing! 🙏🏾

[@LisaDeBose]

This is the best Vegan recipes channel🎉 thank y'all so much for all of the hard work and time that go into this channel! 💐

[@thenarddogcooks]

😍 thank you!! ❤️ really appreciate it! 🫶🏾

[@BethAnctil]

This was easy and I can add other things like roasted red peppers, carrots,etc. Thanks!

[@thenarddogcooks]

😍 🙌🏾 thank you so much!

[@morriemullins6562]

Thank you, YT algorithm, for putting this video in my feed - it's a plant-based dish that doesn't start with onions! My wife can eat it! (For real, though - I look forward to going through your other content!!)

[@siobhannallen450]

I made this on Sunday as a meal prep for the week. It was amazing. Reheated nicely for work. I “forced” my family to eat it because it was so good. They loved it too. ❤

[@thenarddogcooks]

😂 🙌🏾 thanks for sharing!

[@andreapearson4180]

Great stuff! I am going to be eating this two nights in a row with a vegan curry this week. Can't wait to try it!!!

[@thenarddogcooks]

😍 Awesome! Thank you so much!! 🙏🏾

[@TheMISTY5000]

Thank you so much, Nard Dog! Your life changing recipe may now change my life, too. The fact that you make and share food that is full of flavour and quick & easy, makes me think this might be possible for me 🙌🏽

I am honestly looking forward each week to Sunday to watch your new video! Just so therapeutic to watch 🥰 and highly appreciated that you now even provide measurements in gramms. And thank you so much for oil free option!!!

Just made this today.. Added some brown sugar and shredded carrots.. Good recipe bro!!

Love this! Once again you hit something I can make today since I have everything already here! Dinner is sorted! It’s 9:30am Sunday morning here and I was already mulling what to make….🤷‍♀️ thank you! Happy New Year to you and your family! 🥳 I’m looking forward to rest of this year with these postings.

I made this for dinner and my husband won’t shut up about it. It was that good. Will be on rotation at our house. Thank you!

[@pedroleitao1094]

Great video! Can't wait to try it! Btw I am a HUGE fan of your roasted red pepper sweet potato soup (which I call winter soup)! I have a tip that I learned this week: to cut the broccoli and avoid all those small seeds (florets) lying around you can cut the smaller stems and open from there with your hands. That way the "florets spill" is avoided! It might be more time-consuming though

[@Hail_Amina]

I love how simple and quick your recipes are.

[@Theflamingapron3193]

Hey Andrew! Ok, this recipe changed my life… I’m on my Vegan life walk and so far so good. I absolutely love this recipe and have introduced it to several friends. We use this recipe at my church for our Daniel Fast. Absolutely amazing. Thanks!

[@henrymichal8522]

I just made this for tonight's dinner. I love it, it's so filling. enough for 3 portions. (leftover friendly) It's a keeper. Thanks again for sharing Andrew.

[@lemaitrethemonk]

This recipe is delicious. The only change I made was add the cashews on top when the meal was finished. Anything with chickpeas I am interested in! Thanks, bud!

[@tjbattle11]

Nice! One of the best, clear explanations for trying plant-based meals. The categories listed were spot on for the concerns or hesitations some of us have in changing one's food choices.

[@kay2743]

Hello! I wanted to leave a comment for you about this recipe video. I am so hooked on this recipe! If this was all there ever was to eat, I'd eat it daily and be so happy. It has everything I already like to eat! It tastes awesome and I've made it several times already. TFS an awesome video and recipe!❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Made this today! It was so flavorful and satisfying! I’m adding this to my rotation! Thank you for sharing!!❤

[@georgecagle3829]

Thanks for the breakdown! Going to give this recipe a try.

[@bb3866]

I’ll be making this tonight for my lunches this week. I’ll substitute the rice with quinoa, better for my sugar levels since I’m diabetic. Might add some red bell pepper also. Your recipes are amazing and that beard is bad A$$. Keep up the amazing work. Anyone reading this let’s get this man to 1 million subscribers, it would be well deserved.

[@queenb5913]

This meal looks very tasty. When I make it, I’ll switch the brown rice for jasmine, and I’m adding a sweet onion. This one tickled my taste buds!😋

[@triciaroy]

This looks great! I’m trying to go plant-based, but not there yet. Easy, tasty, re-heatable meals are a must. One suggestion: RICE COOKER. Life-changing and not expensive.

[@TheKongWizard]

Rice cookers are a nightmare, they take forever. Pressure cooker far better for rice dishes.

[@privatenexus5764]

6:33 one cheat i use for protein is Fava bean powder, which is a complete protein, adds flavour / richness and is 80% protein. Also, I have now become addicted to, is activated and dried Cashew nuts.
