the noises are getting annoying. LIke listening to people chew. Music is much better. These sounds are overly loud and exaggerating. Like a soap opera.
This was indeed incredible. I used it as a filling for stuffed swiss chard rolls. It was perfect. The flavor was mild and the texture was so close to that of meat in the filling. It holds together beautifully and has just the right feel. It firms up in the cooking so keeping it loose is the key. I've been making stuffed cabbage since I was 16 and since going vegan I've been looking for a decent substitute for ground meat and this is it. I can't wait to use it in Grandma's stuffed cabbage recipe. Thank you so much. It seems every recipe of yours is a winner for us.

This is a nice change from my regular lentil meatballs recipe. These are softer and more simply flavored - which was quite pleasant. The only change I made was to use masoor dal (the split red lentils) because I had a surplus of them due to disorganized shopping on my part. They do soften and cook quicker, so I cut the soaking time a bit. But they tasted great and had a pretty yellow-orange color that was enhanced by the grated carrots. I will definitely make these again, so thank you!
Hello PinkMonkeyBird! So happy to see you again, welcome back! I am delighted you like the recipe and yes, you are absolutely right, they are so good with red lentils! I have made it with red split lentils as they are very good indeed! Warmest greetings and my best wishes! 🌞 😊 💖
@@WeCookVegan Thanks! This really was a lovely dish. Much softer and more comforting than my old lentil meatball recipe I’ve used for years. I think it was the gentle spices and the tomato sauce that makes it special. I’ll definitely make this again and again. I hope your lovely cat is happy and behaving himself. My two dumpster boys (they were rescued as teenagers from a feral colony that lived near a dumpster in a strip mall) got into a huge brawl this morning at 04:30 am, with all kinds of screeching, hissing, spitting, and a massive amount of fur pulling. I keep finding piles of black fur everywhere. Of course, since they are brothers they are currently curled up tightly together in a happy pile of catness on their cat tree.
As a diabetic -- I will make this for sure - however - I will use cauliflower rice instead of the rice you used. Rice is very high in carbohydrates and my glucose level will rise extremely high IF I was to make this as you did -- appears to be very delicious -- so I did subscribe - thank you
Hello George! Thank you so much for watching, subscribing and your comment! You have a very good idea to use cauliflower rice to replace the regular rice! Well done! 👍👏 👏 👏 In this case I suggest to add some flaxseeds as a binder in you'd like to make it vegan. If you are not a vegan and do not have any vegan binders like flaxseed for example you can use an egg as a binder. Hope you enjoy! Sending you my best wishes! 🌞 😊 💖
Great idea! I too don't eat rice but I did see someone cook their rice in bone broth. Same with potatoes. It reduces the glucose spikes. Just passing on. Any tip helps too.
This is absolutely delicious!!! Can be cooked without making balls and used to stuff samosa, kachoree, puff pastries and can eaten with roti/rice as a gravy. A suggestion probably adding thick yogurt i.e. hung curd would not only add flavour but raise the protein value too.

Delicious and nutritious combination. Thank you. For health reasons, our family chooses not to cook with oil, so we ‘sweat’ the veggies on low-heat. Then, preferably bake the veggie-lentil-rice balls, rather than fry them. Yum.

It’s great recipe! I was already making very similar just with less ingredients - soaked green lentils, onion cut in half - blend well, then adding boiled rice not more than 1/3 of lentil amount, salt, pepper. Forming a bit flat balls and frying on both sides till crispy shell appears. Can be served with potato purée and pickles, but I made greek tzatziki sauce and it was so great taste.
Hello Kisutis! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your way of making lentil balls! It sounds delicious! Please can you share how you make green tzatziki sauce? I am very eager to learn! Thank you! 😊 💖
Hello Kisutis! Thank you for your reply and clarification! I love tzatziki sauce! My recipes is as follows: mix dairy free yoghurt, a bit of salt and pepper, minced garlic, grated cucumber and chopped parsley or dill. If your recipe is different please let me know. Have a wonderful day! 😊 💖
@@WeCookVegan I do very similar, just I use Greek yoghurt, cucumber, garlic, dill (no parsley), a bit of white wine vinegar, a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper.
Как раз чечевица и рис не лучшее сочетание для правильного питания, так как чечевица белок а рис углевод и их следует есть раздельно для лучшего усвоения
Genius!😍👍🏻 Since I knew the recipe, I use it very often! Some part of fried lentil balls I put in the freezer for some future use! Thank you for such an excellent idea and delicious meal😍🙏🏻💖
Not a vegetarian but definitely looks delicious as a side or an option for a meat-free meal! I’m suddenly soy intolerant so this looks like a great option :)
Ich bin keine Veganerin, aber das sieht so lecker aus und ich glaube, damit mache ich meiner Schwiegertochter (Japanerin) eine Freude. Sie wird es lieben. Dankeschön und ganz liebe Grüße aus Deutschland, Sachsen-Anhalt, Halle an der Saale von Marion
Great recipe ... I would cook these without the sauce and use as appetisers with drinks. Just make a couple of different dips ... delicious. These would freeze well.too so great to make in advance... I will try the lentil, but also black bean and maybe a chickpea so can have variety ... Thanks for sharing ... 😊

👋 Hello Jo! Thank you of r watching and your comment! yes , you can freeze these lentil balls uncooked, I have tried it and it works fine. Most likely you can also freeze them cooked although I have not tried it myself. Surely you can make a lentil loaf with the mixture (very good idea!). Hope you enjoy! Thank you ones again! warmest greetings! 😊 💖
Hello Norbert and thank you for watching my video and sharing your experience of making this dish! Happy you enjoyed it with green peas and well done for experimenting with the recipe!

Although i used blue bonnet rice, it turned out just perfect for my taste. I absolutely loved this recipe and i can't stop eating these lentils balls. I eat one and after five minutes i eat one more. Thank you very much from Athens Hellas.

👋 Hello Juleru and welcome! Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your feedback! So pleased you enjoyed it! Yes, they are a bit similar to falafels and different at the same time. I am happy you like it! Sending you my best wishes! 🌞 😊 💖
As a non- vegetarian/vegan who is trying to move toward healthier stuff, (I honestly wish I had a farm where animals lived happy and we don't 'process' them until they pass-- but then found out that last part was a big no-no...) how do these *really* compare to actual meat? Thanks so much and take good care!
👋 Hello Julia and welcome! Thank you so much for watching! So pleased you like the recipe! Nutritionally and ethically this dish is better than meat. You might be surprised to learn the following scientific facts: ✅ 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 Sending you my best wishes! 🌞 😊 💖
@@WeCookVegan Thank you so much! I should've been more specific (facts were quite interesting tho')-- I meant taste/texture wise...😄 Idk why I can't get it through my head that people can't read my mind!😁 Safe and happy holidays to you!😊
👋 Hello Lynn and welcome! Thank you so much for watching! Happy you like it! It;'s amazing that your grandmother taught you to make them! What is different in your grandmother's recipe? Sending you my best wishes! 🌞 😊 💖
Thanks for this idea. I wanted to make them but didn't know what else to have it with. Baked cabbage or sautéd/stir-fried cabbage would both be yummy and more filling.

That looks good and I think I shall make that today with a few changes, especially since I do not like rice - maybe substitute with Couscos or bulgur and real tomatoes from mygarden instead of paste. You inspired my dinner for tonight. Thank you.
Hello! Thank you so much for watching and your feedback! 🙏I like your version! If you use bulgur, couscous or quinoa I suggest to add some flaxseed as a binder. Hope you enjoy! 😊💖
@@CharGC123 I often bake different type of pancakes made of vegs and grains in oven simply on a baking paper without any oil especially if it includes zucchini
Hello! Thank you for watching! Glad you like the recipe! I used Tomato Purée. Tomato purée is made by lightly cooking tomatoes and then puréeing the softened product into a liquid. Tomato paste, meanwhile, is cooked longer than its puréed counterpart. You can substitute tomato puree for tomato paste. You can make the sauce lighter or thicker up to your taste. Hope you enjoy! 😊 💖
👋 Hello Kathrin! Thank you for watching my video! Yes, you can cook them in air fryer. I do not own one myself so not sure long to air fry them. Sending you my best wishes! 🌞 😊 💖
👋 Hello Derek! Thank you for watching and a very good question!👍 Soaking lentils increase the mineral absorption rate of the body. An enzyme called phytase is activated when you soak the dal for some time. Phytase helps in breaking down phytic acid and helps in binding calcium, iron and zinc. This makes the absorption process much easier. 1.So by soaking the lentils for 3 hours they a kind of half cooked and by this you significantly improve absorption. 2. Then you fry them for about 5 minutes on each side 3.Then finally you cook them in the sauce the lid for about 20 minutes. Overall cooking time = 3 hours soaking in water + 10 minutes frying (5 min on each side) + 20 minutes cooking in the sauce. This is plenty to get them fully cooked! Thank you ones again! Enjoy! 😊 💖

Have you tried this without the rice or reducing the rice? I try to keep carbs to a minimum but love everything else about this re pie. Thanks for sharing
Hello Geanette! Thank you for watching! yes, I made it with quinoa instead of rice and it was fantastic! Also you can make it with brown rice or bulgur. Please make sure you add some flaxseed as a binder if you do not use white rice. Hope you enjoy! 😊 💖
@@WeCookVegan Interesting, thank you! If I want to use quinoa or brown rice but can't tolerate flaxseed, is there any other binder that comes to your mind?
👋 Hallo und herzlich willkommen! Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen und Ihr Feedback! Ich freue mich sehr, dass dir das Rezept und mein Video ohne Musik und nur Kochgeräusche gefallen! Ich sende Ihnen meine besten Wünsche! 🌞 😊 💖
I would strongly advise against this recipe in its current form. All pulses (beans, lentils) naturally contain cyanide that they store in their skins! It is therefore important to wash and soak them properly before cooking them. First you wash them in a much larger bowl of lukewarm water by rubbing your fingers through them to get rid of dirt. After draining them through a sieve or colander, rinse under running water from the tap, you soak them in plenty of cold water for half an hour, drain them again in the same way, and then repeat it for another 4-5 times for about 4 hours. Larger beans and chickpeas should be left overnight in 3x as much water than the pulses. You would be shocked how much dirt will be removed. If the water still smells like almonds, you repeat it as that is the smell of cyanide. If there is any water left before cooking, discard any of the soaking water left and cook in fresh. Adding bicarb soda will soften their skins.
Hello Lilla! Thank you for watching and your kind advice! of course you need to properly wash lentils and then soaking them in water as shown in the recipe! thank you ones gain! Wishing you a nice day! 🌞 😊 💖
My lentils don't have rice only onion garlic and celery. I use red lentils and when I fry them i seve them with tomato paste mix with one teaspoon of jerk sauce and one teaspoon of honey
👋 Hello Jalila and welcome! Thank you so much for watching! Your version of the dish sounds so delicious! I will try it next time I make these lentil balls, thank you! Sending you my best wishes! 🌞 😊 💖
Hello Jolene! Thank you so much for watching and your feedback! I am so pleased you like the flavour! They should not fall apart if you cook the rice well (preferably use glutinous rice but not essential) and place the mixture to the fridge for at least for 10 minutes (better for longer like 20-40min). If you would like to use quinoa instead of rice for example , add some flaxseed as a binder. Hope it works well next time you make them! Wishing you a nice day! 🌞 😊 💖

Deixar por 3hrs lentilha lavada, mixar bem e descansar. Refogar cebola piadinha, cenoura ralada e alho. Misturar arroz bem cozido no mix de lentilha e depois o refogado. Temperar com sal, coriandolo e ervas a gosto. Descansar na geladeira por 20' e fazer polpetas para fritar. Cozinhar com molho a gosto.

To get to the description, click on "more" after the title of the video. Then there will be a second "more." Click on that and scroll down to find the recipe. I share it with you here as well: 🥣 Method: Soak 190g | 1 cup green lentils in water for 3 hours. Add drained lentils to a bowl. Mash with hand blender. Chop 1 onion. Transfer chopped onion into a lightly oiled frying pan. Peel and grate 1 carrot. Add to the onion and cook about 5 minutes. Chop 1 garlic glove. Combine well. Add 170g | 1 cup cooked rice to the mashed lentils. Add cooked carrot and garlic mixture. Season with 1tsp ground coriander, 1tsp Italian herbs, salt to taste. Mix until combined and transfer to the fridge for 10 minutes. Shape into small balls. Heat a little olive oil in a non stick skillet. Fry the lentil meatballs for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. In a mixing jar combine 1tbsp tomato puree, 1tsp sugar (optional), 1tsp flour, a pinch salt and black pepper to taste, 250ml | 1 cup water. Pour the sauce and cook lentil meatballs under the lid for about 20 minutes. Enjoy! 💕 Sending you my best wishes! 🌞 😊 💖
You are doing a great job for the society❤️ I was a hard core non vegetarian till I visited a farm and witnessed the horror of the dairy industry. The cow is inseminated painfully every 6 months so that calf is born. The calves are taken away immediately without a single drop of milk. The male calves are transported to the slaughterhouse to be killed on the very day. This process continues for some years till the cow is completely exhausted and later sold for meat. That’s the milk we consume. I literally had sleepless nights after watching the cows, their udders become so big they can’t even move. And they run to save their babies from going to the slaughterhouse. Thank you for these recepies so that people can choose compassion in their plate instead of pain.

Genius!😍👍🏻 Since I knew the recipe, I use it very often! Some part of fried lentil balls I put in the freezer for some future use! Thank you for such an excellent idea and delicious meal😍🙏🏻💖
Thank you so much for your kind comment!❤️🥰👋
Not a vegetarian but definitely looks delicious as a side or an option for a meat-free meal! I’m suddenly soy intolerant so this looks like a great option :)
Hello! Thank you so much for watching! Glad you like the recipe and happy it's a great option for you! Wishing you a nice day! 😊 💖
Check out the Zoe program (Dr Tim Spectre). Once you learn to feed your good gut bugs you might find your intolerances go.
@Michelle_Emm wow that really sucks... may I ask you what the symptoms are and how you found out?

Ich bin keine Veganerin, aber das sieht so lecker aus und ich glaube, damit mache ich meiner Schwiegertochter (Japanerin) eine Freude. Sie wird es lieben. Dankeschön und ganz liebe Grüße aus Deutschland, Sachsen-Anhalt, Halle an der Saale von Marion
Das ist so schön! Ich freue mich, dass es Ihnen gefallen hat!
Great recipe ... I would cook these without the sauce and use as appetisers with drinks. Just make a couple of different dips ... delicious. These would freeze well.too so great to make in advance...
I will try the lentil, but also black bean and maybe a chickpea so can have variety ...
Thanks for sharing ... 😊
Hello Denise! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your way of cooking and enjoying these lentil balls! Great ideas! Thank you! 😊 💖
Nice i like the idea of beans but i may just cook the beans first because not sure the 15 min simmer wld cut it
Wow super 👌 bahut badiya mouthwatering yammy recipe 👏👏👏
Thank you! Happy you like it! 😊💖
Варить чечевицу не надо?) Вот это да, как просто, спасибо, обязательно попробую!
Добрый день! Спасибо за посещение моего канала и ваш комментарий! Да, варить чечевицу не нужно, так полезнее и замачивании чечевицей значительно сокращает время приготовления. Желаю вам всего самого хорошего! 🌞😊💖
Замачивайте на ночь, трёх часов недостаточно.
Amei… 1 prato equilibrado almôndegas de lentilha feita com arroz! Parabéns
Thank you ❤️
Nice video! I agree it’s nice to not have any distracting background music, but just the soothing sounds of cooking, which I enjoyed. It was a relaxing video as well as informative.
Oh, and that cat is magnificent! I’m jealous!!

Recently we tried lasagne with lentils and loved it! We must try these lentilballs!
Thank you so much for watching! Hope you enjoy this dish! Sending you my best wishes! 🌞 😊 💖
This look so appetising, I will be trying very shortly 😊 I have a question can you freeze the Lentil balls uncooked/cooked ? Also could you make a lentil loaf with the mixture ? Thank you ❤
👋 Hello Jo! Thank you of r watching and your comment! yes , you can freeze these lentil balls uncooked, I have tried it and it works fine. Most likely you can also freeze them cooked although I have not tried it myself. Surely you can make a lentil loaf with the mixture (very good idea!). Hope you enjoy! Thank you ones again! warmest greetings! 😊 💖
Просто люблю суп с чечевицей. Без всякой обжарки. Вкусно и полезно

I love your videos, keep them coming, so easy to follow with tasty results!
Thank you so much William! 😊 💖
I couldn´t find green lentil so I used green peas. Probably a bit more rustic in taste but there were no leftovers. Thanks for the recipe!
Hello Norbert and thank you for watching my video and sharing your experience of making this dish! Happy you enjoyed it with green peas and well done for experimenting with the recipe! You can use any lentils you have for this dish, they do not have to be green lentils. Sending you my best wishes! 🌞 😊 💖
Tried your recipe tonight and they were awesome!
Glad you you enjoyed it!🎉🎉🎉 Thank you so much for watching and your feedback! 😊💖
Although i used blue bonnet rice, it turned out just perfect for my taste. I absolutely loved this recipe and i can't stop eating these lentils balls. I eat one and after five minutes i eat one more. Thank you very much from Athens Hellas.

Thank you so much, im really happy you enjoyed this recipe🩷😌🌸
Love the simplicity of this recipe with so much nutrition. Thank you. Umm.. I'm wondering if we can bake the patties, make a masala gravy and place the patties in it. Having raita on the side completes it.
Hello! Thank you so much for watching! Yes, you can certainly bake them too! And I love your suggestion for having raita on the side and as a dip sauce! Thank you! 😊 💖
Will brown lintels work well in your recipe. I have a lotof them, thank you.
Hello! Thank you for watching! yes, brown lentils will work fine! Hope you enjoy! 😊 💖
This looks so delicious and flavorful... i love how you prepared
👋 Hello! Thank you so much for watching! Happy you like it! 😊 💖
I made these (without the sauce) and they were really yummy! They kind of reminded me of Falafel.
👋 Hello Juleru and welcome! Thank you so much for watching and for sharing your feedback! So pleased you enjoyed it! Yes, they are a bit similar to falafels and different at the same time. I am happy you like it! Sending you my best wishes! 🌞 😊 💖
This recipe a keeper 👍

I'm not even Vegan and that looks great. Will definitely try out.

Wow this is a keeper. Great taste and texture.
👋 Hello Steve! Thank you so much for watching! Happy you like it! 😊 💖
As a non- vegetarian/vegan who is trying to move toward healthier stuff, (I honestly wish I had a farm where animals lived happy and we don't 'process' them until they pass-- but then found out that last part was a big no-no...) how do these *really* compare to actual meat? Thanks so much and take good care!
👋 Hello Julia and welcome! Thank you so much for watching! So pleased you like the recipe! Nutritionally and ethically this dish is better than meat.
You might be surprised to learn the following scientific facts:
✅ 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
Sending you my best wishes! 🌞 😊 💖
@@WeCookVegan Thank you so much! I should've been more specific (facts were quite interesting tho')-- I meant taste/texture wise...😄 Idk why I can't get it through my head that people can't read my mind!😁 Safe and happy holidays to you!😊
Another amazing recipe Thank you ❤

these look amazing!! adding to my to do soon list of yummies!
Thank you so much Susan! 😊 💖
Looks amazing. I bet if it was served over a baked cabbage steak with that tomato sauce would be just divine. Kinda like a cabbage roll! ❤
👋Hello Wendy! 🌷Thank you so much! Pleased you like it! Have a wonderful day! 😊💖
Thanks for this idea. I wanted to make them but didn't know what else to have it with. Baked cabbage or sautéd/stir-fried cabbage would both be yummy and more filling.
Yes, agree, very good idea! Enjoy! 😊💖
I like how you created a complete protein by adding rice to the lentils. I'm wondering if mushrooms could be included to add umami.
👋 Hello and welcome! Thank you so much for watching and your positive feedback! So pleased you like the recipe! Yes, you can certainly add some mushrooms, very good idea! 👍👏 👏 👏 I love mushrooms! Sending you my best wishes! 🌞 😊 💖
Great ideas 💡 🙏

That looks good and I think I shall make that today with a few changes, especially since I do not like rice - maybe substitute with Couscos or bulgur and real tomatoes from mygarden instead of paste. You inspired my dinner for tonight. Thank you.
Hello! Thank you so much for watching and your feedback! 🙏I like your version! If you use bulgur, couscous or quinoa I suggest to add some flaxseed as a binder. Hope you enjoy! 😊💖
I guess we all like to customize. I don't use oil but these were great in an air fryer and as a filling.
Here the rice is used to bind the texture, it’s sticky :) in fact if you use it less you won’t almost feel it as lentils dominate
@@CharGC123 I often bake different type of pancakes made of vegs and grains in oven simply on a baking paper without any oil especially if it includes zucchini
Since I don’t have rice, I’ll use quinoa. Thank you for your healthy recipe. Greetings from sunny California!
Пожалуй, попробую сделать, необычный рецепт.
Спасибо за просмотр! Надеюсь, вам понравится!
Absolutely delicious and unique recipe ❤️

Me encantan las lentejas, de cualquier manera, hasta en sopa con queso...deliciosas.
👋 ¡Hola Patricia y bienvenida! ¡Gracias por ver! ¡También me encantan las lentejas en cualquier forma y también me encanta la sopa de lentejas! 😊 💖
That looks so delicious and healthy recipe. 😋
Thank you so much Isabel! Happy you like it! 😊💖
Very tasteful! Question; do you mean tomato paste! To me tomato pure is using canned tomato and put it in the blender. ?
Hello! Thank you for watching! Glad you like the recipe! I used Tomato Purée. Tomato purée is made by lightly cooking tomatoes and then puréeing the softened product into a liquid. Tomato paste, meanwhile, is cooked longer than its puréed counterpart. You can substitute tomato puree for tomato paste. You can make the sauce lighter or thicker up to your taste. Hope you enjoy! 😊 💖
Def an interesting recipe, looks tasty!
Thank you Kathlyn! Glad you like it! 😊 💖
Those are the most beautiful lentils I've ever seen!
Thank you so much! Let me know if you try this recipe!
Que beleza ❤️
Muito obrigada Lília! 🙏🥰 Que bom que você gostou! 😊 💖
This was a really good recipe! A small tip, if you substitute all of the vegetables for meat it tastes even better 😊
Thank you for watching! Happy you like the recipe! 👍
Adoro receitas com lentilhas…essa deve ser deliciosa😋😋😋
👋 Olá Rita! 🌷 Muito obrigado por assistir! Fico feliz que você tenha gostado da receita! Que bom ver você de novo! 😊 💖
It really looks very good. Would it be possible to but the little balls into the airfryer like falaffel? Would about 18-20 min be too long?
👋 Hello Kathrin! Thank you for watching my video! Yes, you can cook them in air fryer. I do not own one myself so not sure long to air fry them. Sending you my best wishes! 🌞 😊 💖
It's very beautiful sister, I saw your recipe completely, it's very beautiful sister ❤❤

This looks very nice and easy to prepare I will make this. Better than meat. Thank you. God bless
👋 Hello Pearl Wray! Thank you so much! Pleased you like it! Warmest greetings and best wishes! 😊 💖
I'm surprised that you don't have to pre-cook the lentils, just soak for 3 hours and mash them?
I was thinking the same thing! 0:22
I guess the proof is in the eating, but they are cooked for a fair while, in the oil and then the tomato sauce, no?
👋 Hello Derek!
Thank you for watching and a very good question!👍
Soaking lentils increase the mineral absorption rate of the body. An enzyme called phytase is activated when you soak the dal for some time. Phytase helps in breaking down phytic acid and helps in binding calcium, iron and zinc. This makes the absorption process much easier.
1.So by soaking the lentils for 3 hours they a kind of half cooked and by this you significantly improve absorption.
2. Then you fry them for about 5 minutes on each side
3.Then finally you cook them in the sauce the lid for about 20 minutes.
Overall cooking time = 3 hours soaking in water + 10 minutes frying (5 min on each side) + 20 minutes cooking in the sauce. This is plenty to get them fully cooked!
Thank you ones again!
Enjoy! 😊 💖

Have you tried this without the rice or reducing the rice? I try to keep carbs to a minimum but love everything else about this re pie. Thanks for sharing
Hello Geanette! Thank you for watching! yes, I made it with quinoa instead of rice and it was fantastic! Also you can make it with brown rice or bulgur. Please make sure you add some flaxseed as a binder if you do not use white rice. Hope you enjoy! 😊 💖
@@WeCookVegan Interesting, thank you! If I want to use quinoa or brown rice but can't tolerate flaxseed, is there any other binder that comes to your mind?
100000000000000% better then that vegan teacher
They don't even do the same thing.
@@KerstinMamma I don’t wanna start a fight so like pls don’t respond to this but they both talk abt vegan is what I’m saying
Ich habe mir das Video mit Freude angeschaut, es sieht absolut lecker aus. Mir hat sehr gut gefallen, wie Sie das Essen ohne Musik zubereitet haben😍❤️
👋 Hallo und herzlich willkommen! Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen und Ihr Feedback! Ich freue mich sehr, dass dir das Rezept und mein Video ohne Musik und nur Kochgeräusche gefallen! Ich sende Ihnen meine besten Wünsche! 🌞 😊 💖
I would strongly advise against this recipe in its current form. All pulses (beans, lentils) naturally contain cyanide that they store in their skins! It is therefore important to wash and soak them properly before cooking them. First you wash them in a much larger bowl of lukewarm water by rubbing your fingers through them to get rid of dirt. After draining them through a sieve or colander, rinse under running water from the tap, you soak them in plenty of cold water for half an hour, drain them again in the same way, and then repeat it for another 4-5 times for about 4 hours. Larger beans and chickpeas should be left overnight in 3x as much water than the pulses. You would be shocked how much dirt will be removed. If the water still smells like almonds, you repeat it as that is the smell of cyanide. If there is any water left before cooking, discard any of the soaking water left and cook in fresh. Adding bicarb soda will soften their skins.
Hello Lilla! Thank you for watching and your kind advice! of course you need to properly wash lentils and then soaking them in water as shown in the recipe! thank you ones gain! Wishing you a nice day! 🌞 😊 💖
My lentils don't have rice only onion garlic and celery. I use red lentils and when I fry them i seve them with tomato paste mix with one teaspoon of jerk sauce and one teaspoon of honey
👋 Hello Jalila and welcome! Thank you so much for watching! Your version of the dish sounds so delicious! I will try it next time I make these lentil balls, thank you!
Sending you my best wishes! 🌞 😊 💖
Thanks 🙏👍 very much 😊
Thank you very much for this recipe. The flavor is wonderful. They fell apart in the frying pan. Maybe a binder?
Hello Jolene! Thank you so much for watching and your feedback! I am so pleased you like the flavour! They should not fall apart if you cook the rice well (preferably use glutinous rice but not essential) and place the mixture to the fridge for at least for 10 minutes (better for longer like 20-40min). If you would like to use quinoa instead of rice for example , add some flaxseed as a binder. Hope it works well next time you make them! Wishing you a nice day! 🌞 😊 💖
Waoooo, no termino de ver esta receta y ya la saboreo, me gustaaa. Gracias por compartir!❤😋😋🇩🇴

Deixar por 3hrs lentilha lavada, mixar bem e descansar. Refogar cebola piadinha, cenoura ralada e alho. Misturar arroz bem cozido no mix de lentilha e depois o refogado. Temperar com sal, coriandolo e ervas a gosto. Descansar na geladeira por 20' e fazer polpetas para fritar. Cozinhar com molho a gosto.

@@WeCookVegan I will I have been vegan three years and slowly descovering recipes from watching utube thankyou for this recipe
You are most welcome and well done for being vegan! 💚 😊 💖
You are doing a great job for the society❤️ I was a hard core non vegetarian till I visited a farm and witnessed the horror of the dairy industry. The cow is inseminated painfully every 6 months so that calf is born. The calves are taken away immediately without a single drop of milk. The male calves are transported to the slaughterhouse to be killed on the very day. This process continues for some years till the cow is completely exhausted and later sold for meat. That’s the milk we consume. I literally had sleepless nights after watching the cows, their udders become so big they can’t even move. And they run to save their babies from going to the slaughterhouse.
Thank you for these recepies so that people can choose compassion in their plate instead of pain.
