Dimitra has a light touch and a very smooth approach to cooking, making her ideal to follow in cooking instructions. The same simple dish by Akis, who is a bit of a showman - nothing wrong with the show business btw - fills you with anxieties of performance. Under Dimitra's direction, everything feels natural and the way it should be. A big thumbs up!
I‘ve just finished cooking this soup, a huge pot of it because I am going to freeze part of it. Cook once, eat three times - that’s my motto! 😉 It tastes delicious, can’t wait till it’s dinner time here in Germany. I have a pic, but I have no idea how to post it here.
I made this soup last Sunday in my instant pot. It was so good. I just pressure cooked it for 15 minutes. I also made it Weight Watchers friendly by only using 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Keep up the great work. :)
You prolly dont care but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account?? I was dumb forgot the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Imran Leonidas Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Imran Leonidas DAMN IT REALLY WORKED! Literally hacked my IG login within ~ 45 minutes by using the site. Had to pay 15 bucks but definitely worth it :O Thanks so much, you really help me out!
I just saw your red lentil soup recipe thinking thats what i bought, nope french green ones and decided to see if you had a similar recipe. You do fantastic i can go ahead and make this tomorrow.
Nice recipe Dimitra as always. One of the frequent dishes my mother used to cook for us on Wednesdays or Fridays, which are fasting days for Orthodox Christians anyway, the vegan version. Strangely enough this is one of the dishes that most small children love! So I suggest people do this for their children, it's healthy, tasty and good for kids and everybody!
NOT ONLY YOUR RECEPIES ARE VERY GOOD YOU ARE VERY NICE SWEET AND VERY WELL MANNERED.... I WISH VERY NICE HAPPY NEW YEAR WITH LOTS OF HEALTH AND SUCCESS.... GOD BLESS U...M
That's close to how I cook fakes tbh, though I mix in the additional vegetables that go into fasolada and a florina pepper, as well as half a demitasse cup of balsamic vinegar while it's cooking (that's the name for ellinikos cups, right?). Edit: Try the lemony version they make in sterea ellada, it's easier to eat when the weather is getting hot. The ancient-style recipe is pretty good too, if you have quality oregano still on the stem, there's a video on it called fakes egglouvis (don't need to have the laukada variety of lentils ofc).
I've made this soup and it turned out great. Check out her roasted butternut squash soup; it's a real winner! Dimitra's deliver pleasant w/easy instructions. Appreciate her leaving recipe links.
I'm definitely gonna make this because I love Fakes soup. You forgot to put 2 tbsp of tomato paste. When I used to make this with a 1/2 lb lentils, I put 1 tbsp of tomato paste.
Dimitra your soup looks delicious but let me tell you a secret about lentils. If such an Iron filled legume is boiled in water with salt..it hardens up ! So please try bringing your soup to the boil with NO SALT until the end when you turn off the heat. You will notice a huge difference !
Looks great but when you put the water in, put the water into the sauce can to wash out more of the sauce for even more flavor. You have a lot of sauce that is left in the can and by putting the water into the can, swish it around then put it into the pot. Old italian way of using canned sauce....great video though!
This is one of my favorite meals and everybody here in Greece makes it almost every week. Now don't take this the wrong way and I know it's all a matter of personal taste but what your husband does is NOT strange. What IS strange is the fact that you don't put vinegar in lentil soup. Traditionally, that's how they are served.
It's not strange for me even though I didn't eat it with vinegar growing up. I didn't eat it with feta either. Feta is a new thing I just started doing at the café. I thought it would seem unusual to my viewers... Thanks for being part of this community. All the best!
I'm told you should add the salt at the end, also to vegetable stock also celery, i also let the lentils sit in cold water for 8 hours to soften before cooking, what are your thoughts?
As I've written over and over, is it possible to see a lentil soup recipe video different than every other with the same onion, carrot, garlic, water, etc. ingredients?

I love lentils and I know that this will be SO good! 🙂
I made this. It was soooo good. Thanks for the recipe.
Watching your videos always makes me hungry, I'm gonna try to make this today!
Love this soup. Am so glad you didn’t use broth. Water is the only thing needed for this soup. I drizzle olive oil in it. So good.
Italians cook the lentil soup almost like this as well - it's soo healthy!
One of my favourites!
Yes, vinegar! My Greek in-laws always put vinegar when they make beans for both taste and it helps it be less gassy.
Vinegar Bay leaf and fresh olive oil
No one in his right mind will add feta in a soup that's made with vinegar and bay leaf for over 3,000 years..

I make this in my instant pot 😋 very close to your recipe
This is delicious and tastes even better and faster in a pressure cooker.

Nice vid and authentic recipe. Next time you can throw in some bay leeves, that is how we cook it in northern Greece. Keep them vids coming!
that's true , I was waiting for the bay leaf as well .
Excellent!
The colour of your earrings match that of your pot! Nice!
Will definitely try this and thank you for sharing! Can you share your version of Imam recipe in future video?!
thank you. Yes. I was planning on sharing that one soon :) Stay tuned.

This looks so yummy! 😋If I was to add vinegar to it, what type of vinegar do you recommend? Also, when is the vinegar added? At the end? Thank you.
I added red wine vinegar at the end and it turned out great!
Glad to get traditional Greek lentil soup. I make mine with red lentils...quicker!
Great idea!
I love it!
Looks delicious. I add red wine vinegar in the end as it gives just the right taste. ❤
My husband loves to eat it with vinegar too!
I'm definitely gonna make this because I love Fakes soup. You forgot to put 2 tbsp of tomato paste. When I used to make this with a 1/2 lb lentils, I put 1 tbsp of tomato paste.
that's a great addition to deepen the flavor ::)
Thanx a lot....i will try it tomorrow.....
Happy New Year!

LEGIT. 2016! 2020!
Yummy 👍😀💜
love vinegar i use it on eggs with pepper to as well ( hard boiled egg)
Love it
Would I use white distilled vinegar or apple cider vinegar? Thank you for posting this Dimitra !!!!
Either of the two will do.
@@DimitrasDishes Thank you...I really like your videos.
Beautiful.
Both the meal and Dimitra.
Where's your restaurant?

Vinegar gives it a tang lm Greek masso we put a hot stuffed banana chilli with meat and rice in the bowls awesome.
@@DimitrasDishes where is the cafe
What type vinegar would you suggest? I love vinegar 😋
Do the Greeks sometimes add chicken broth?
No. You can if you want but this is traditionally vegan/vegetarian.
How many quart is you cast iron pot and where can we get it?
I'm told you should add the salt at the end, also to vegetable stock also celery, i also let the lentils sit in cold water for 8 hours to soften before cooking, what are your thoughts?
As I've written over and over, is it possible to see a lentil soup recipe video different than every other with the same onion, carrot, garlic, water, etc. ingredients?
vinegar is good but i love the taste of lemon or lime IF on hand over vinegar but its all good
👍👍👍👍👍
Mmmmm 😋
No 🍋??
It's watery
Please, try roasting the spices with the vegetables right before adding the liquid next time!
You’re half-Greek right? Not that it matters I’m just wondering
No, full Greek :)
Same as every other recipe on TH-cam.
