Incredible! This lentil recipe is better than meat! Protein rich delicious lentils recipe [Vegan]

[@frmrbchbum]

Made this recently with some changes: soaked lentils 2 hours in very hot water, that’s all the time I had. Used cooked quinoa instead of rice, added 1 tablespoon tomato paste, much more seasoning including fennel seed. Added glug olive oil to mixture, formed into balls and cooked 20 minutes in air fryer at 400. Came out light and crisp. Served with marinara sauce. Wonderful. Hubby ate most of them.

[@ginger7044]

She didn’t mention rice. What did you use quinoa for?

[@frmrbchbum]

@@ginger7044 As the glue to bind it together. Works well.

Dear BohemianBliss, thank you so much and welcome back! 🌷🌷🌷 I'm sincerely thankful for your kind gesture and generosity! 🙏🌞 💖 🥰 🥰 🥰

[@Pittykittymomma4ever]

I LOVE that you use whole foods ingredients and don't mask the flavors of them! So many vegan items are processed to taste like traditional meat items (faux chicken nuggets, impossible burgers, etc.) Your recipes taste exactly as they should, like the ingredients you added. (Lentils, peppers, garlic, etc.) and are not trying to be a faux meat item. Kisses to beautiful Lancy!

[@WeCookVegan]

Thank you for such a kind comment! I really appreciate your positive feedback and Lancy sends you his best wishes❤️🥰👋

I love the idea of soaking legumes instead of boiling for bean balls. They hold together better with minimal fuss and the final texture is nicer. I learned that from you in a prior video with lentils only and I look forward to adding chickpeas in the mix. The onion and carrot will add a touch of sweetness to balance the flavors in the sauce. If you changed up the seasonings these would be so good as an Italian style 'meatball', maybe on a hoagie roll. I'm in the US where American football season is approaching the playoffs so I'm always looking for healthy football food. Lancy's slow blink was the sweetest thing-the hallmark of a contented kitty. I had to laugh-I know channel owners don't choose the ads but the first one was for Atkins. KZbin needs to tweak the algorithm.

[@WeCookVegan]

Thank you for such an observant and kind comment, I really appreciate your viewership! Good idea about changing up the seasonings, this would taste amazing in an Italian style! Lancy will be happy to hear you thought he looked sweet - he loves getting compliments! In regards to the ads, I always hear from viewers saying they saw something completely opposing to what the channel aims to promote😂 it is what it is I suppose! Thank you for watching☺️🥰❤️

I love the balls!! I made this and the balls have good flavor. I have never had a sauce like this, to me, the sauce needs something, it was a little bland to me, needs more seasoning. I love the idea though.

Можно ли замочить вместе нут и чечевицу? И обязательно ли запекать в духовке фрикадельки перед тем, как протушить их в соусе?

[@WeCookVegan]

Здравствуйте! Я думаю да, можно замочить нут и чечевицу вместе. В духовке запекаю что бы они покрылись корочкой, я думаю иначе они бы развалились в соусе!❤️❤️

What kind of liquid sweetener do you use?

[@WeCookVegan]

Hello Lolabelle and thank you for watching! 🌷So nice to see you again! 🥰 As a liquid sweetener I used date syrup. You can also use any of these: agave nectar, honey, maple syrup, coconut syrup, pancake syrup, barley malt syrup, tapioca syrup, cane syrup, simple syrup, molasses. Hope you enjoy!

[@NeverGiveUp9090]

Very nice recipe. I am allergic to carrots, what vegetables could I replace them with? Zucchini?

[@nancymulder1094]

I would want to keep the nutritional value of a yellow/orange vegetable as well as the firm texture of carrots. Try butternut squash or fresh pumpkin. Parsnip might be nice if you like the flavour.

[@nebraskafrankcourtny]

Are the balls fully cooked when you take ‘em out of oven? Does that even matter?

[@teresasmith6028]

Was wondering this as well. Thought beans needed to be fully cooked to remove the lectins.

[@WeCookVegan]

Hello Francie! Yes, the balls are fully cooked when out of the oven. lentils and chickpeas got soaked in water for 8 hours before cooking, it significantly reduces it's cooking time. Soaking lentils also improves digestion and nutrition absorption as it neutralise lectins and phytates. Thank you for watching! Hope you enjoy! Sending you my best wishes! 🌞 😊 💖

Can it be cooked in air fryer too? If yes at what temperature and how many minutes

[@annwilliams6438]

While I haven’t made these yet I often get lentil balls from my local grocery store. I preheat my air fryer and put them in for five minutes at 160 degrees Celsius. I then take the drawer out and shake it so they roll around to a different angle and put the drawer back in for another 5 to 7 minutes. (It depends on how crispy/ toasted you want the outside.) Just give it a test and see what works best for your preferences. :)

[@helenraignault3831]

Bonjour .. si J ai bien compris les pois chiches sont mixés crus ... Afin d obtenir une pâte .. qui sera cuite de toutes façons au four .. question : pour éviter de mettre au four puis je faire une cuisson dans une casserole un peu après avoir mixé ? Puis laisser refroidir pour mieux les mettre en boules.. merci pour votre vidéo .. je vais tenter ..

[@WeCookVegan]

Bonjour! Merci d'avoir regardé et pour votre question. personnellement, je n'ai pas essayé de cette façon mais je suis sûr que cela fonctionnerait !

Do you dehusk your lentils and chickpeas after soaking?

[@WeCookVegan]

I personally dont, but you can after soaking! I find everything cooks through and goes soft after being fried/baked!

[@m.yousuf2920]

please don't say better than meat

[@WeCookVegan]

Why not? It's better than meat and the more people realise it the better! Lentils not just taste better than meat when cooked in a right way, they are also better than meat in many ways! You might be surprised to learn the following scientific facts: ✅ A mere 1.5 cups of lentils contains just as much protein as a 3 oz chicken breast, but lentils contain the dietary fiber, copper, phosphorus, and manganese that you can't get from meat. ✅ Lentil proteins provide not only dietary amino acids but are also a source of bioactive peptides that provide many benefits. Lentil proteins do contain amino acids. ✅ Pound for pound, raw lentils have more protein than steak. While not as protein-dense once cooked, they pack even more iron than meat, in addition to other vitamins and minerals. Fast to cook, easy to store and exalted enough to be buried with the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, these seeds have sustained empires. ✅ For every 500g of ground beef, you can substitute 150g of dried, uncooked lentils; once cooked this will result in 500g of cooked lentils. ✅ Lentils provide more iron than meat ✅ Cooking with plant based ingredients like lentils is good for the animals. ✅ Lentils are fast to cook, easy to store and exalted enough to be buried with the pharaohs of ancient Egypt, these seeds have sustained empires. ✅ Dried lentils can be stored for many years. Sending you my best wishes! 🌞 😊
