    Thank you ladies I really enjoyed this video! This recipe calls for whole green lentils, the only green lentils I have are split not whole. What I do have on hand are whole black, small brown and red lentils. I know the red lentils won't work. ????? Do you know the cooking time difference for the whole small brown lentils???? I'd like to make these taco lentils without having to wait on buying whole green lentils. My brothers and I also had our mouths washed out with soap.

    Chef AJ, you must have been a perfect child! Many of know what soap tastes like because we got our mouths washed out with soap for backtalking! Oh! I just hear someone commented the same thing! 🤣. I guess I’m not the only one who was a sassy child! 😂

    Well, there are times I got cilantro at store and it was weird smelling. Never happens from the garden. Don’t give up yet. Just try different forms.

      Cilantro taste is purely genetic. Some people love it and some people hate it. If you have one of these genetic tests they will tell you (in case you don’t know yet...) which kind of person you are.

    Could you use honey instead of agave syrup?

      Chef AJ is vegan so she'd say no

    • @shanaeforee8587
      @shanaeforee8587 4 года назад

      Recipe says you can do maple syrup instead of agave.
