💬 Let me know in the comments if you enjoyed my vegan lentil recipe?
▶️ RECIPE INGREDIENTS: (3 to 4 servings approx.)
To Cook the lentils:
1 Cup / 200g Brown Lentils (Washed and Soaked in water for 10 to 12 hours or overnight)
1+ 1/2 Cup / 350ml Vegetable Broth
3 Tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Cup / 130g Onion - Chopped
1+1/2 Tablespoon Garlic - Finely Chopped (4 to 5 garlic cloves approx.)
2 Teaspoons Paprika (NOT Smoked)
1+1/2 Teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/4 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper (Optional)
Salt to taste (I have added 3/4 Tsp of pink Himalayan salt)
1/4 Teaspoon Sugar (I have used organic cane sugar)
1+1/2 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
1 Cup / 200g Fresh Tomatoes - Chopped
1/2 Cup / 125ml Water
Garnish:
1/2 Cup / 20g Parsley - Finely Chopped
1/2 Tablespoon Lemon Zest (Zest of 1 lemon)
Lemon juice to taste (I have added 1/2 Tablespoon of lemon juice)
Black Pepper to taste (I have added 1/2 Teaspoon)
Drizzle of olive oil (I have added 1 tablespoon of organic Cold Pressed Olive oil)
▶️ METHOD:
Thoroughly wash the brown lentils - a few times until the water runs clear and then soak for 10 to 12 hours or overnight. Once soaked, drain the water and transfer the lentils to a pot and add the vegetable broth. Turn on the stove to medium-high heat and bring it to a vigorous boil. Then turn the heat to medium-low and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes or until the lentils are cooked but still holds its shape. It took me 3 minutes to cook the lentils on my stove. WE DO NOT WANT MUSHY LENTILS HERE. Once cooked set it aside UNCOVERED.
✅ 👉PLEASE NOTE: The cooking time of the lentils depends on it's quality. Sometimes one batch of lentils are drier than the others and may require longer cooking time. SO ADJUST THE COOKING TIME ACCORDINGLY.
To a heated pan add olive oil, chopped onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt and fry on medium heat until the onions are browned. It will take 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and fry for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
Reduce the heat to low before adding the spices, this will prevent it from burning. Add paprika, ground cumin, cayenne pepper, tomato paste and fry for about 2 minutes to cook out the raw flavour of the tomato paste. Once the paste/spices are nicely roasted, increase the heat to medium. Add the chopped Tomatoes, Salt, Sugar, Water and mix well. Bring to a boil and cook for about 2 minutes or until the tomatoes are slightly soft.
✅ 👉PLEASE NOTE: Adding 1/4 teaspoon of sugar to the tomatoes, balances out it's acidity/tartness so please do not skip it.
Add the cooked lentils and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, cook for about 5 to 6 minutes or until most of the water is evaporated on medium-high heat. Turn off the heat and garnish with lemon zest, lemon juice, parsley, Goof quality extra virgin olive oil. Serve hot with fresh pita and a side salad.
▶️ IMPORTANT NOTES:
👉 Cooking time of the lentils depends on it's quality. Sometimes one batch of brown lentils are drier than the others and may need more cooking time. So adjust the cooking time accordingly
👉 Please don't over cook the lentils, WE DO NOT WANT MUSHY LENTILS for this recipe. The lentils should be cooked but at the same time still hold their shape. After bringing the lentils and broth to a boil, it took me only 3 minutes to cook the lentils on my stove
👉 Adding salt to onion will release it's moisture and help it cook faster so please don’t skip it
👉 Every stove is different so regulate the heat as required. If at any point you notice the pan is getting over heated, then reduce the heat
👉Adding 1/4 teaspoon of sugar to the tomatoes, balances out it's acidity/tartness so please do not skip it
👉 If incase the end product gets too thick for your liking, add boiling water to thin it out. DO NOT add cold water, it will ruin the taste
👉 The garnish is what actually completes this dish and adds flavour to it, so please do not skip any of the ingredients

Hello Friends! Hope everyone is doing well. As always, I love to hear from you guys! Let me known if you try this recipe 😊
Going to make this today, thank you.
Hi..I'm going to make this soon..Just wondering what to served with it?..need ideas for a hungry husband.......thinking potatoes?...
@@lindamcclintock5817 potatoes sounds great! Other options will be whole grain pita and a side salad will pair well or if you want to omit grains then pan-seared tofu or protein of your choice with a green side salad . Would love to hear how it goes :)
I'm so grateful for your cooky
Nice recipe! Typo in your video thumbnail???

Not only was this a beautiful and calming video, with a delicious looking recipe, but you’re so good at writing recipes. So many videos I’ve seen people forget to include temperatures and timings for many steps that can make it hard to replicate. So thank you for your lovely work!
Thank you! 😊
I have got my brown lentils soaking! I am going to have this for dinner tomorrow. Thank you so much for showing us how to make this dish.😄
You’re most welcome! Would love to hear how it goes :)

So happy I came across your channel. I’ve been looking for a different way to cook my lentils. Thank you

Update..I finally got around to making these lentils tonight...they are soooo good. Definitely don't skip the important steps of cooking the tomato paste and spices and the garnishing at the end.

Very yummy

Thanks! Let me know how to goes 😊
Sooo I'm on a health journey but also trying to be extremely frugal with my $... no experience with lentils myself. I'm sitting here eating my OMAD and it's green lentils boiled with salt, then I sautéed onion, garlic, green pepper, added sliced tomatoes, and some Mrs Dash onion blend!!! I think I did pretty well!!!!!!! That'll keep me full for a while and give me fuel for my 10 mile walk in the park but also give me my calorie deficit!!! Pretty damn good for a first timer without watching/reading anything!!
Nice relaxing video. Never had lentils before. I will try them now.
Thanks! Would love to hear how it goes 😊
Yummy thank you 😘
Most welcome! 😊
Made it tonight for dinner and I almost ate the whole pan, the lentils are so delicious! I will be putting this on a regular rotation. Thank you for sharing!
So awesome to hear that! Glad you like it 😊
love it

@@FoodImpromptu The lentils seemed to sparkle as they were poured into my measuring cup just now.
Brown lentil, bean holy, that nourishes, heals
In fiber-rich, heart-healthy, versatile meals
You're sacred, we love you; praise all pulse protein:
Black lentils, red lentils,
Puy lentils green
@@fanniterrette I agree, beans and legumes are a nutritional powerhouse 😊
I tried it! Turned out super delicious. Instead of putting 1/2 cup of water to the tomatoes I put some vegetable stock with ginger. 🔥
Hi. I made this and it's so tasty. Already made this twice and I'm going to make it often. My family loves it.
So awesome to hear that! Thank you 😊

In 20 days we will be fasting everyday for 30days and I'm excited for it !
I want to cook healthy food and eat enough to feed my body, and not my craving
I want my digestive system to improve too
Your channel will be so helpful
Especially since you don't use expensive Ingredients
I will be able to cook for my parent and siblings
So excited !!

@@FoodImpromptu yes!
I think this is turning me into a vegetarian 😊
I am very pleased! I made this tonight and wished I had doubled up on all the ingredients. One thing I did do is add some new potatoes. I work out and need extra calories.
