This is a recipe that I learned from a fellow thru-hiker on the GR11 in Spain. For me, it ticks all the boxes on what I look for in a thru-hiking meal. Mainly that it's light and easy to make in one little pot! This lentil recipe is delicious, affordable, calorie-dense and most importantly, super delicious!

I really like the lack of dialogue. Just letting it be. and also that it's a vegan recipe. Much appreciated!
Thanks man! I was a bit of an experiment. Glad so many people are enjoying it!
@@ChaseMountains There is always something Zenlike about simplicity and silence, beautiful landscapes never hurt either....cheers m8!
@@ChaseMountains it was nice but personally I like it way better when you’re talking.
I’m just thinking about how you had to run far away and then go back to get your camera. The dedication is appreciated.
We want more vegan, silent recipes 🏔️
It seems you are not alone! It was a bit of an experiment but I think it worked! I think I'll do some more!!
Yesss!
@@leohaugenwyller4468 another silent recipe, just posted! th-cam.com/video/ygCxddOzbxQ/w-d-xo.html
yes pls
....shhhh.
But I wanted to also say this.
This was so beautifully filmed. I was just transfixed, even something as simple as cooking lentils became so lovely.
This wasn’t just a cooking video but a whole spiritual experience. What incredible scenery. I appreciate not talking just to fill the silence (which is beautiful)
that's something staple in every other household in India
yeah my Indian viewers are unlikely to be impressed hahha.
Pro tip: smoked paprika is also great with lentils
Thanks for the recipe Chase!
Haven't watched yet, but woohoo, finally a vegan recipe vid. Thanks. 😅
Edit: looks like my regular dinner, haha. Thanks for sharing. Also, really love the way you edited this with no voice overs or direct speaking.
Right? Love it too! 🥰
💚🌱
If it's good at home,it'll be great on the trail. 😋✌🏼
Also try adding buckwheat. Lightweight, filling, same cook time as lentils and has an amazing amino acid profile for protein absorption.
What is an.amazimg amino acid profile for absorptuon mean? Does profile match usrda or egg distribution? How does buckwheat increase absorption?
www.researchgate.net/publication/323389455_Nutrient_capacity_of_amino_acids_from_buckwheat_seeds_and_sprouts
Well I'm no nutritionist but from what I understand you need amino acids transport nutrients and help to build muscle.
Buckwheat has a good amino acid profile meaning the protein is Good quality. Ideal for this type of lightweight recovery meal.
I don't know about eggs or other foods as I wasn't making a comparison.
To Doug Crabtree,
I read the buckwheat article link you included from Journal of Food and Nutrition (Researchgate.net). That group seems to do real science and thanks for the exposure.
I will buy buckwheat to soak 10 hr then damp 14 hours more in pot. Rinse every 10 hours or more often then twice before cooking gives more nutritious sprout. My test to determine if they increase my hormones is the symptom of a desire for stronger muscle contraction. Beans or barley sprouted and cooked this way increase my muscle contraction. Roman gladiators ate sprouted barley to increase their strength.
To Doug Crabtree, I bought buckwheat groat hulled. Bin label lists protein 5g for 45g serving gives 11.1% protein by weight. Meats, nuts, seeds, cheese contain 25% protein by weight.
Quality amino acid profile means how much does limiting amino acid reduce usage of all protein. Peanuts contain 47% quantity of ideal essential amino acid Lysine. This means 100g peanut butter has 25g protein but only 11.75g of all protein will be used by body. (25g x 47% = 11.75g). This 11.75g of 100g peanuts is 11.75% protein used and matches buckwheat if buckwheat has 100% limiting amino acid profile. The The weakest quantity amino acid is a bottleneck that limits use of all amino acids (protein).
I tried to sign up at researchgate.net but was not allowed due to a lack of institution email address. How were you able to sign up?
@@SlickMaximus I think he meant to have all essential amino acids in one meal. Usually you just need to pair a bean/legume and a cereal. And it's not even needed to be in the same meal, but within one day.
I love the fact that 4 steps of this are lighting your jet boil, real cooking guide LOL
Beautiful video, loved the final message ;)
Thanks for this video! I’ve made this meal a few times already. It’s delicious and filling. I added fried shallots and brought packets of hot sauce. You can also add msg to the garlic powder and that’ll boost the umami.
Haha, step 18 is the best.
Great movie! I am planning the food system for my 500km thru-hike in may 2021 and lentils are on my staples list.
I want to buy a fruit/veggie/mushroom dehydrator to experiment with dried produce.
I like the caption at the end 👍
I’ve been vegan/whole food plant based for 2,5 years and never felt better, fitter and more masculine 💪🥕🍊🍇🍎🍐🧅🧄🍒🍉🍌🥒🥑🌱
Great to hear! Yeah I'm sure that caption is going to get some nonsense remarks in the comments but the reality is you can be an absolute beast on a plant based diet and that's been proven time and time again. Go get it!
@@ChaseMountains hey there,ran all my life with nothing more than some soya polony,red bean salad and bread.ran long distances ,even multi days,no problem.for my next trip I will experiment with dry fish .
How is your diet tied to your masculinity? Like I'm genuinely asking not trying to be an ass. Is it more to counter the stereotypical "bacon makes me feel manly" thing (that interestingly started as an ad)?
@@zmuzzy101 Well, most or even all people that surround me live convinced that meat make you a real man and a strong person - physically and mentally. My response to that is that you can be a man, strong in any way while not eating animal products that are result of animal abuse and slaughter. Most of those "manly" men around me have big belly and can't run a mile, at the age of 35-45 have some health issues (high cholesterol, blood presure, high blood sugar, etc.), so in fact they are becoming dependant on drugs and doctors (is it so masculine to be a constant client in doctors office and pharmacy?). And the only thing they do is complain and justify their condition by lack of time, genes, etc. Usually they lack of empathy and compassion too, mentally staying "in the box" created by their parents and upholded by society.
So for me vagan diet (whole food, not oreo cookies, potato chips and coke), beside those people following it to be trendy, is a sign of bigger conciousness and respect for myself and others. For me that is a real sign of masculinity, when you realy take care of yourself (mental nad physical health) and others (limiting to any possible extent your impact on animals and on the planet and its resources). Of course I don't limit myslef to the way I eat, I try to make as much concious choices as possible, and no I'm not a monk 😁
I hope that I have explained my point of view ;😀
Yay love it! As a hiker, mountain lover and someone who loves your channel - love and appreciate that you are doing healthy plant-based stuff.
More videos like this please (only if you enjoy making them ♥️)
So relaxing to watch and very useful at the same time
another silent recipe, just posted! th-cam.com/video/ygCxddOzbxQ/w-d-xo.html
Thank you so much for preparing a concientious vegan meal that raises awareness for others of the plight of animals on our planet. I purposefully searched for vegan backpacking food. Thank you.
This was so satisfying to watch
For macro breakdowns check out the recipe on my blog!! bit.ly/lentil-curry-recipe
Lentils, couscous, buckwheat & oat flakes, soy chunks, and nutritional yeast - my staple foods when backpacking. Pro tip: nail down the proportions of spices at home and mix in the spices to the lentils/whatever else you're cooking.
Hilarious video! What a great recipe too. Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks so much for this video! Planning my first overnight hike and looking for vegan meal ideas that are lightweight 😄🌱💪
Lentils and cous cous is where it’s at!!
I’m a Quid Pro Quo Bro,
This is not MY recipe - I’ve gleamed it on the net some time ago, but it is my “Go To” dehydrated hiking dinner:-
1/4 cup dehydrated cooked basmati rice
1/4 cup dehydrated canned chickpeas
2 handfuls dehydrated spinach
2 tablespoons curried pumpkin powder
2 tablespoons coconut milk powder
Salt
On trail add ½ to ¾ cup of water and simmer 10 mins.
It’s vegan friendly as well.
Oh! And before you ask:-
Curried Pumpkin Powder
You’ll need:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp ginger, grated
2 tsp mild or HOT curry powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 kg peeled, deseeded and cubed pumpkin
1 cup vegetable stock
Salt to taste
Method:
Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan.
Add onions, cook until golden-brown.
Stir in garlic and ginger. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Toss in curry powder and cumin, heat together for another minute to release the aroma.
Pour in 1 cup of vegetable stock and bring to a boil.
Add pumpkins and stir well.
Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes.
Purée pumpkins using hand blender or food processor.
Spread the puree on dehydrator trays covered with non-stick sheets or parchment paper.
Dehydrate at 52C/125F for 8-10 hours until brittle.
Grind the pumpkin bark into a powder.
Store in airtight container in a dark, dry place.
That sounds absolutely delicious! I'll have to make some for dinner even if i don't dehydrate it
Very nice video, thanks! We never cooked lentils from scratch on a hike, good inspiration mate! And didn't know you were vegan 👍
Isn't he amazing? 🌱💚
@@carmenrizzo9951 oh yeah! :) plant power!
haha, well done, amazing place and delicious food, though I'm a bit surprise with amount of extras you carry(spices... even bottle of oil) Once I heard from some American hiker about golden rule 2 lb of food per day, It was surprising as well, as for us in Ukraine it's rather 1 lb of food per day (in warm months of course) that was our ratio for a month of hiking in Carpathians this summer, well... to give full picture, every fourth or fifth day we would go down to a village to resupply and tank up with a lot of food :)
Yes - olive oil is the lightest way to add the calories - and easily available on-trail. Just don't overdo it - anything more than around 65g/750 calories per meal can cause digestive issues and may not be absorbed well. Oh - and make VERY sure it doesn't leak on your gear. I decant it into a light plastic dispenser and carry it at the bottom of the front pocket of my pack just in case.
For extra taste maybe try dried fruit like raisins, dried onion, dried tamarind, desiccated coconut, dried ginger, spinach (a fresh veg that's light and compact to carry), cashew nuts... The main issue with a lot of this stuff is resupply on the trail - you ain't going to find it in small alpine villages. So you need to get very organised with resupply boxes, which is a major hassle.
Personally I prefer a larger pot - the Evernew 900ml is a popular option. You can make bigger portions and add some fresh veggies in the valley or after a resupply.
Great message at the end man!
Collecting recipes for my first big Hike next year, It’s on the list!
Thank you more videos like this please 🙏.... Question I'm going to do my first backpacking is not better is this is done and freeze and then just heat there ??? I need more healthy recipes 😭 i don't want to eat not healthy food since I'm going to be hungry i know lentils are super good also banana oatmeal pancakes but I don't know what else 😭 HELP HELP
Check out the channels Pick Up Limes, Hench Herbivore, Gaz Oakley, Simnett Nutrition, Rainbow Plant Life, etc
Really like the last graphic!! The human race generally love animals but forget or disregard this at the dinner table. Thanks for sharing.your vegan camping cooking recipe Chase 👍
I met another inspiring young Aussie on a trail a couple of months ago. He’s just completed the Te Araroa trail in NZ. 3,000 kms from bottom to top of NZ raising money after losing a mate to illness.
Keep up the great videos!!
I have never done this, but watching I felt I was there! The silent vegan in the wilderness eating lentils, what else could beat that? Thank you.
Try presoaking lentans in a zip lock bag for a few hours if not over night, they cook faster and more evenly.
Masoor Dal is such a simple and healthy dish! And delicious. You can also cook it at home, puree with an immersion blender, and put it on the dehydrator for an instant version. Optional: add coconut milk powder in camp.
How large is that titanium mug/pot?
Vegan outdoor camping with soft music and amazing views - more of this!!
I often cook red (or yellow) lentils with the same amount of Yasmin or Basmati rice (broken rice is even cheaper). Just potion and cook the lentils as you would do with rice. IE: 1 Cup rice, 1 cup lentils, 4 cups water.
Amazing. Needs some fats though for my liking. Maybe finish the meal with some peanut butter. I love peanut butter 🤤
How many fats do you need after the large drizzle of olive oil
I've had lentils for about 1000k of the TA and it was great! ♥️
Fantastic recipe! Tasty and suited for the mountain. What about the utensils u used? Pot lixada? Bsr stove? Is that right?? Thanks in advance!!!!
The pot is lixada, stove is kovea. Check out my gear videos for more info on them
Beautiful and calming video. I've been vegan for nearly a decade and so glad to see more recipes out there. TVP has become a favorite for me on the trail. Never thought about red lentils but they'll be in my next meal for sure!
Man it's the best! So much life and energy in lentils.
Could you make some recipes for stoveless backpacking? As you said you were also going to eat like that?
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing this
Where was this filmed?! Gorgeous location and scenery, great work and good job, Im a foodie and want nice meals for my hikes
Vallter in Catalunya!
Love the message at the end.✌💚
That was an awesome video with great illustrations ! Thank you and glad I searched for vegan hiking food and found this one 🙏
I’ll definitely subscribe for more
What a wonderous video. A recipe, a meal.. it's an entire experience. This feels kinda of like an advanced version of Rimworld, on solo - really really nice.
Looking for new vegan hiker recipes and found this channel, beautifully filmed!
just posted! th-cam.com/video/ygCxddOzbxQ/w-d-xo.html potentially could be vegan with vegan cheese!
This was really entertaining ..amazing how you fit so many spices into the cup
Yay for more vegan hikers!!👏🥾🏕🌲🌱
Thank you for posting. I've been looking for some inspiration for ultralight meals and this looks delicious!
Haha, at step 1 I was like: "This campsite is pretty exposed, im not sure..." Got my payoff at step 18 :D
Thank you for your compassion for living beings! You cannot come to God without kindness and compassion! Eternal True One God LOVE does not love any violence! Violence is committed only by the devil, who pretends to be God!
Nice! Ill try it next time!
The establishing shots... Xd that must have been such a pain in the ass to film... Walking back to the camera every time
Awesome video. I'm going backpacking solo for a month in Switzerland in a few days, and I'm a little lost on what food to eat, what other meals do you usually meat? And maybe some more available high-protein foods than tvp?
Thanks for the beautiful recipe video. Step 18 cracked me up :)
Your lighter doesn't require gas - just a flint. Cook with the lid on as much as possible to save fuel. Once it's simmering turn the gas to almost zero.
My staple is lentils and brown rice, and I cook enough for dinner, breakfast and lunch, supplemented with seasonings and snacks. Dull but satisfying.
I like camp cooking videos but I just watched one where the dude used a whole stick of butter in his stir fry and then another where its just bacon and eggs and butter. Outdoor cooking doesnt have to mean getting heart disease.
I don't like eating meat and I've been vegetarian for a few years. But now I eat some meat again (chicken grown with love and killed as respectfully as possible at home) because I found myself with a pretty severe deficiency of B9 and B12 vitamines. I found out that despite having good vegetarian meals with vege proteins, I still couldn't get close to enough of these 2.
How do you deal with that? I prefer to eat those home-grown chicken than to eat chemical stuff...
I add small pasta like maccaroni, i prepare each meal in a ziplog bag, then just need to empty into pot and cook up. I turn gas off once boiling and cover with my jacket, beanie or sleeping bag and let soak for 20minutes. Yum! I use nutritional yeast and paprika, garlic, onion, chilli, mixed herbs and sometimes stir in vegan pesto i like to take 🤤 i think I got the idea from a similar video you made? Or even this one 😅 ages ago
18. Regret stupidly exposed campsite...I don't need to guy the tent out, it will be fine tonight, hello high wind speed at 3AM.
A trip in Iceland has to be the worst experience for me, my tent pole collapsed on one side after returning to the campsite and I was convinced that a guy got drunk and just stumbled on it, no way the wind could of done that, the winds picked up during the night and well, felt like my tent was about to take off, 40mph winds. Did not sleep much that night :)
Haha, funny, I have been doing the same recipe for years. It's great. A nice addition is an onion/garlic and some tomato paste if you want to be decadent about it xD I also add some couscous at the end. It soaks up the excess water and fills you up even more.
Kinda considering going atleast semi vegetarian but I have to say... To me personally that does not look apatising lol. I dislike the taste and texture of both lentils and quorn with a passion. Reminds me of rice pudding which makes me feel sick even thinking of having it in my mouth 😂 beautiful scenery however
How did you go with all of that gear gear and just one cheap crappy lighter for making fire? Nice save but forward planning??
Regret exposed campsite location 😂 Looks delicious!
It was nice of you to include some lentils with your spices. I immediately knew you'd regret your campsite selection 😝
*IMPRESSIVE*
*if you feel like u're into intresting history and ancient discoveries, my videos are for you*
*You're welcome buddy*
Euu. Seriously dude, have you read ingredients in cubes? Euu! the cubes's salt, sugar and MSG are super liver and kidney killers. Any thing else out there?
What's up, Chase? Just wanna ask what's the brand (and size) of the titanium pot you were using in this video? Thanks!
looks delicious! I made it as well many times when walking a part of the GR11 last autumn. I added some couscous (you can add it after the lentils are almost done) and some dried apricots to spice it up :)
I have once or twice bought unsplit red lentils during my long distance hike, don't do the same mistake, it's slow and you are better off with something else
Knorr
(in London) sells NO sodium or MSG vegetarian bullion cubes
Top Tip:
Besides from making a light wind breaker for your gas stove with some card board and tin foil , soak those lentils in a bottle with some water during the day so you can eat sooner ,save gas and cook faster.😉
You should check out Gear Skeptic here on youtube, he did a really cool series on the weight and nutrition of backpacking food backed up by the numbers.
i dig this recipe. beefed it up a bit by adding some pearl barley and bob's red mill nutritional yeast - adds a bit more carbs, fiber, protein and iron from the barley and vitamin B complexes from the nooch.
Great channel! Question from Russia: is it possible to buy gas anywhere on the trail? Ask, because you do not use gas economically (you do not just boil water and do not use wind protection). I'm interested because on 99.9% of trails in Russia you have to carry everything with you and you can't buy anything. I know you can buy food on the trail, but gas too? Thank)
yeah there is gas for sale at several points all along the trail for all types of burners. I used about 3 cans of gas in a month. So yeah, I probably need a wind breaker too hahah
This looks delicious and I'm giving it a test run this weekend. Question! Why (in your blog) do you say to avoid iodised salt?
Instead of stock cube, try miso paste next time. Yummm
Try the green moong or skinned yellow moong… they cook even faster. And if you can pre soak during the day so they cook up even faster at night
Recently returning to hill walking and being a vegan for some years I really like the video but maybe all of those ingredients could be mixed into portion prior to hike and just add water on the day .
Does anyone know which tent was in this video?
I thought it was six moons at first, but now im leaning hyperlite. He's from AUS, so maybe a company from there we in US don't see much?
I had the same question 🙋♀️
Enjoyed the quietness. For me I would simply quit the added (no nutrient) added oil and add wholesome raw sliced or crushed nuts with a whole array of dense nutrients.
What an inspiring place! Cruelty free! Good karma!
Hey man, your website doesn’t seem to be working on mobile for me. What’s that tent you were usingv
Way too many spices seasoning and what not to my taste, but I agree on one thing for sure - lentils rock👏✌
You are my new favorite person!! (Next to Jesus, of course😘)
Yesss, I would tear that up. I bet its very flavorful ❤
The word vegan so toxic now. I cringe just reading it, and second guess the person using it.
0:17 - vegan food effect (teleporting)
0:27 - and again 🤯
I'm serious, it was very moving, thank you
The recipe is cool and all. But man you gotta put in some serious hours to get a tan line from your pole straps 😂😂
Raw vegans wont need the stove. Still take the lighters for a fire though.
Thanks for this! If you want to pre-soak in your pot just cut a piece of silicone sheeting to fit between the pot and lid and hold the lid on with a couple of rubber bands or an x-band.
All the best, Scott
Excellent tip my man!!
@@ChaseMountains Thank you!
I tried rice and pasta but for some reason red lentils are the perfect trail food!
More vegan recipes 🙏🙏🙏🙏💙
bring a fire starter that works (not pictured)
Looks good except for the lentils. Yuck!
That was beautiful, thankyou for sharing.
I love lentils! A good idea for hiking trips.
Wow! So grateful for this. Yummm.... 😋🙏
