I made this! It is fantastic. Please understand...I am an absolutely horrible cook. The only thing I'm skilled at in the kitchen is setting off the fire alarm, which is why I rarely cook. This turned out delicious and I have a little bit more confidence now. Thank you for such great content and easy to follow directions.
Happy to hear that! Much love :)
This made me laugh , but Its great that you did it,
Well done one recipe at a time!
I teach cookery.
One of the things I impress on students is: Basics first. No point trying to make an elaborate meal if you haven't mastered basic techniques. They are the foundation of everything.
The other thing when learning is: Only cook food that you like. No point in making something that you already hate. You want to eat and enjoy your creation!
Good luck on your new adventure. Once you've had a few successes, and others appreciate them, your confidence will encourage you to go further and further.
One of my students didn't even know how to toast bread. You should see her now, whipping up party food for kids, and full course meals for adults!
Lol Liv! Thank you for the belly laughs 😆
This is what kids should be eating at their school cafeterias in USA. Nutritious, delicious, inexpensive and compatible with different dietary choices. Instead they get pizza where the tomato sauce counts as a vegetable!
And the tomato sauce is basically red dye. So sad.
Not just America, all over the world!
No profit from nutrition
That is awful, here in the UK my granddaughter has roast chicken and vegetables, fish sometimes, she loves the dinners. Not all schools have chefs on the premises though
@@DanielSRosehill this. Even in other countries the school lunches are pitiful things. So much empty carbohydrates.
As a vegetarian who enjoys simple, healthy and tasty recipes, I am so grateful for your videos! 🙏🏼🎉
Much love :)
Yes, this is the best channel.
I'm Swedish but my parents are from Chile and they have cooked this for me. So this delicious dish is not only enjoyed in Spain but also in Latin America 😊
In Germany, too, I always thought this is THE typical german stew ;)
Seems like a standard bowl of soup. Given the universal appeal, no doubt is tasty and affordable.
I'm chilean too and yeah, this stew is all over Latinamerica, I think its all a joint effort over time, for instance, potatoes and peppers are native from Latinamerica, they didn't exist anywhere else for a long time, but there were no lentils in America until the europeans arrived; carrots on the other hand, are native from Iran/Afghanistan. The stew just keep evolving over centuries.
My Mexican mother also makes a similar stew.
@OneLoveDre in Europe, nationality and culture goes by blood, in America is by soil, since we're all super mixed, but you can get a 2nd nationality if your parents or grandparents are from europe or something like that
I don’t cook, but I found these Lentils and your recipe came up, I went to the grocery store with list in hand, followed your video … WHAT? Amazing! Thank YOU for sharing ❤
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
I'm watching it at 4am, and now I'm hungry 😆😅
I made this tonight May 11, 2023. My wife and I LOVED IT. The hardest part in preparing this delicious recipe is peeling the carrots and potatoes. I will definitely make this again.
So happy to hear that! much love :)
Bravo , it's like dal with vegetables,you fold your hand and say thank you actually it's namastey ....from India
I watched already countless videos from this channel, and cooked several of the delicious dishes, and just realized that all the recipes are vegetarian.
Alberto IS vegetarian. With the high cost of meat, it has been fortunate to find his channel, so saving money and eating healthier.
Other than cheese, but yes.
He also does seafood
@@tanaschmidt3728 your right. Very light meals for the most part.
@@tanaschmidt3728 I've made his garlic shrimp; awesome!!!
Mediterranean food is the best by far. As an Italian I love all the Mediterranean foods. I'm definitely going to try this.
Yes! Much love :)
Lentils and potatoes and garlic and tomatoes...CAN NEVER go Wrong!!!!!!!
Yes! Much love :)
It doesn't matter how long it took for you to share this recipe. The important thing is that you did share it. I made this tonight, with a few minor changes and tossed in a ham bone. The result was so delicious, I'm glad there is enough for seconds.
Sounds great! Much love :)
As a vegan, I’m so impressed how many of your recipes are vegan friendly or can be so with a few changes. Success to your channel in the coming year!
Much love :)
Meat is fine
@@Cpp_For_Lifenot for the animal who has to suffer. I don’t care about you increasing your risk of heart disease or cancer. That’s your choice. The animals don’t get a choice
Another excellent recipe. I really like that when you do something in a particular way, you always explain why. Another thing I love about your videos is that you always give exact ingredient measures and cooking times, which is important when trying a recipe for the first time. Later you can always fine-tune them to your particular taste.
Much love!
@@SpainonaFork Am curious why you didn't put the recipe in the description area for those of us who like to follow the recipe along with you in the video ? Thanks for your time
Thank you so much for this recipe. I made it exactly like you did, and at the end added two handfuls of fresh spinach. It was DIVINE!! Keep up you great work!!
Sounds great! Much love :)
This looks, delicious.
I will definitely try it.
PS, If lentils/beans give you flatulence, use a good pinch of asafoetida (hing in Hindi) during the cooking. You can buy it online or in an Asian food store if you're near one. I use it all the time when cooking Indian lentil or bean dishes.
Good advice. However, if, instead of eating meat, you ate more legumes, your intestines would not act up. It's the things you rarely eat that make gas.
This is one of my favorite dishes from my childhood and still make it now. My eldest son recently asked me for the recipe but I don’t measure anything!!! Just sent this to him he’ll be so happy he can make it from a recipe now 🥰
That's great! Much love :)
I love the aroma of cooking lentils, especially with a bay leaf in there. I think it’s time to make my kitchen smell delicious again!
Yes! Much love!
I absolutely love this recipe and your fantastic presentation!
Much love :)
👍Looks amazing and easy. I will be making it tomorrow for sure. Thank you for all your easy recipes.👍❤️
Hope you enjoy! Much love :)
I made this for my family last night and it went down a treat. I’ve made many dishes from your channel and this is the best so far for me. Thank you for all your hard work, it’s appreciated by many. I always look forward to your uploads 🙌
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
I made this three days ago and have been having it each day for lunch. Absolutely delicious, the beauty of it is the simplicity which brings forward all the base flavours. Will definitely be making it again
Glad you like it! Much love :)
Love your recipes and presentations. Make it easy to follow how to cook each dish.
Much love :)
So glad I watched this.Fantastic home cooking.
Much love :)
What a SUPER stew! So delicious, easy and quick to make! You have so many great recipes like this!
Thank you so much 😊
*its that time of year again for stews and soups!* i must say that I do make Lentil soup quite a bit at home, I will have to try your recipe!
Beautiful recipe wonderfully presented.Thank you so much
Much love :)
Thank you for the recipe 🙏 The dish was very tasty 😋 And perfect for the cold season !
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
This looks delicious! So simple and well explained presentation. Can’t wait to make this today. Thanks for the video 👌🏽
Hope you enjoy! Much love :)
Love your meat free recipes. Thanks for uploading.
Much love!
This looks like a very good recipe!! I love that you added in the reasons why you do what you do, and tips for a variation with meat, it is very helpful for learning to cook
Much love :)
Love ALL ur RECIPES , thank u for this one ....it's going to be for my lunch tomorrow.
Keep the good work and God bless you.
Hope you enjoy! Much love!
Lentejas is my favourite starter here in Murcia but I’ve never seen a vegetarian version as shown here. They always add chunks of chorizo and lardons of jamon or bacon to the recipe. Whatever your choice, it’s delicious.
I'm from Murcia myself and, as you pointed out, I've never seen a veggie version of the dish. Only in canned food. Maybe it's something from other regions of Spain... Personally, I love my lentejas with chorizo, very fatty bacon and pork ribs (the latter is the best part of the dish for me, so tender and full of flavour). No need to say that lentejas is actually my all-time favourite dish xD
Lentejas viudas or lentejas estofadas, no meats added, maybe more common in Central Spain.
Looks terrific! We love lentils and I’ll definitely be making this. Great cold weather dish.
Yes! Much love :)
To the point and nice tone of voice
Thanks!!! Can’t wait to try this
Thank you! Much love :)
Recién descubrí tu canal y me encanta! Muchas gracias por compartir recetas de nuestro país y más en inglés! Esto hará que llegue de manera más internacional. Me encanta como haces los videos y me encanta tu voz. Sigue asi!
Muchas gracias :) Un saludo!
I’m glad I found your channel! Your narration voice is very pleasant. The recipe looks so good! I never knew to season lentils at the end, just like beans. Thanks for the recipe
Much love :)
I really enjoy the soothing sound of your voice. It's almost like listening to an audio book. The recipe is good too!!
Much love :)
I made this last night and we loved it! Thanks so much for this easy, delicious and economical dish!
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
Made it this evening. Absolutely wonderful! thank you!
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
Simple , so inexpensive and superb.
I make this once weekly throughout Winter.
A great recipe , Albert .
Much love :)
I like to add a little red wine when it is cooking. I have used celery in this recipe as well. I have used a hamhock for more flavor. When finished, I top it off with parsley, olive oil, sea salt, and a dollop of sour cream on top. Exquisite!
That is American style. Nothing like the Spanish version!
@@magdalenam3737 It also tastes better. Also, it's silly to say it's "nothing" like the Spanish version, when it's literally the same soup with a few added ingredients to make it taste better. Folks get really defensive about recipes, and oddly enough it seems to be when somebody improves on them.
@@benjaminkenobi21 not being defensive I just know from living in the USA and being born in Spain that the flavors in both recipes are very different. This channel is about Spanish food so i wanted to state the obvious...if you are going for Spanish flavor add chorizo and follow the traditional methods as were outlined in this channel's recipe. Many ways to make them and many ways will be delicious.
In Spain we have another version with chorizo and serrano ham chunks (be careful with salt then) and some red wine too, so is not that different. You can change the hamhock for chorizo next time if you want to give it a try. We make two different versions at home indeed. One with vegetables only without wine and with a little bit of vinegar in the end once in the plate and the one with chorizo and red wine and without vinegar. I don't know if these two versions are from different places in Spain or one of them is the Easter version, as it was not allowed to eat meat.
My grandma was born in Sevilla Spain. I loved her Spanish lentil soup it tastes just like yours. Thank you so much
Wonderful! Much love :)
I followed your recipe for this classic Spanish dish, very simple instructions, and it came out absolutely amazing. Thanks man. You won a follower today
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
Truly amazing a very tasty soup👍. Thank you for your concern. I have been enjoying all the recipes I have downloaded so far.👍
Much love :)
Thanks for the recipe. I’m making it tonight. It smells delicious right now with my own vegetable stock so once again, thank you it smells delightful.
Hope you enjoy!! Much love :)
Thank you for all that you do! I'm making this today. I also love your paella recipe. Cheers!
Much love :)
I've been a subscriber for a while now, and I just HAD to tell you how much I appreciate your recipes. They're simple, made with accessible (in the USA) ingredients, and absolutely delicious. I add them to my Recipes file all the time. I intend to try this one soon because I LOVE lentils.
Appreciate the comment! Much love :)
This is such a good dish! So easy and full of flavor. Really enjoyed it
Glad you liked it!! Much love :)
I made this and my family loved it! Even my husband who doesn't like soup said "this is really good!" What I love is how simple and affordable it is to make (this is what I love best about all your recipes). Thank you!
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
Excellent recipre and excellent culinary videos. Thank you for sharing the recipes
Much love :)
@@SpainonaFork - I made the lentil stew for dinner yesterday. The family loved it! Very delicious and wholesome. Thank you very kindly.
Ive been looking for a simple recipe and I finally found one. My family loves this soup. No need to make modifications! It's perfect. Thank you!
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
This recipe was a HUGE hit!! I have been craving Spanish lentils for a long time. I had a friend whose mother made amazing ones. I have wanted to make this for my family and I’m so glad that I found your page! Thank you!!
Happy to hear that! Much love :)
OMG! Thanks for sharing this with us. I made it yesterday and it was awesome. The smell was amazing. The only regret I have is that I didn't double the recipe. Thanks, we truly enjoyed this one💖.
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
Looks perfectly delicious! Thanks for the recipe.
Much love!
Simply delicious...thank you for sharing
Much love :)
This looks really good!!! I'm definitely making this for me and my husband asap! very healthy and seems filling
Sounds great! Much love!
Lol!! My wife just made a HUGE pot of our family fav standard - lentil soup. She throws whatever veggies we have left just before a grocery run. It's a "stone soup". I can vouch for this one.
I made this three times this week. Twice for the family and a hearty pot my sons friend. It’s wonderful!
Happy to hear that! Much love :)
This is easy, healthy and uses things we already have in our pantries. I love a meal like this with cold weather coming on. Thanks. I will be referring back to this recipe.
Much love :)
Simple, healthy, tasty. Good for bachelors as well.
I just made this tonight, and honestly this is my first time making stew by myself and it was so easy and simple! Longest time area was cutting and peeling everything. But happy this is the first recipe I've tried, and can't wait to try the next!
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
"honestly"
Thank you. Easy, simple, taste good 🙂 Nothing can go wrong.
Much love :)
Simply beautiful, beautifully simple😋👏🏻💖🙏🏻
Much love :)
This recipe is amazing! I made this for the first time, and it was absolutely perfect. I did add chorizo at the time mentioned and it’s so great I added it to our weekly menu rotation. Thank you so much for this!
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
That lentil was the best-looking lentil stew I've seen looks so delicious I'm going to try it
Thank you! Much love :)
So glad I came across your channel, you have some wonderful hearty recipes, that fit in really well with my desire to prevent cancer recurrence, thank you so much for sharing such healthy and simple dishes!
Much love :)
Love this recipe and listening to you!
Thanks so much 😊
I just love when people promote their homeland cooking the way you do. It’s all about love and sharing.
Lentils are amazing, in France we have the "Petit salé aux lentilles" which is a great classic but takes way more time to prepare and cook (and won’t be suited for veggetarians or people who won’t eat porc I’m afraid), I will try your spanish recipe asap 😋
Much love :)
Beautiful recipe, and vegan too! It’s my lucky day 💕
Much love!
This was the best lentil stew I’ve ever had in my life. Thank you so much for sharing it ❤
Happy to hear that! Much love :)
This is a delicious recipe. I made it yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks again Albert.
Great to hear! Much love :)
Season the lentils after they have cooked! That is why I have never been successful cooking lentils. That seems like the most important tip ever. Thank you!!!
Much love :)
I love making this with some plantain and French baguette on the side, delicious!
Sounds great! Much love :)
I just love this channel 🤍 thank you!
Much love :)
WOW! Amazing recipe! Thank you.
Much love :)
We’ve eaten lentil stew most of our lives, made a bit different, my mother is from South America. I love this simple recipe, I’ll have to try this out today. What I love about your recipes is that they are simple and many are veg recipes! Thanks for including those recipes as well! I made the white bean stew yesterday! It was nice and simple and it felt so healthy, but still delicious! I did add a half of potato though for some extra, since we didn’t have rice. Best
Sounds great! Much love :)
I've just discovered your channel - I will definitely be checking more of your recipes out! I live in Andalucía and I absolutely love real Spanish food - lentil stews are very popular here and a lot of people sprinkle white wine vinegar on top, which is really delicious! It's great to be able to get so many different types of lentils here too.
Sounds great! Much love :)
Thanks, I followed this recipe and both me and my partner loved it🙏
Happy to hear that! Much love :)
I just made this, it is awesome, thanks so much, I love all your cooking so much.
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
I’ve been craving lentil soup and I bumped into your channel miraculously. Ive seen you on TV also and love your recipes. Anyway, I followed your recipe with the exception of the vegetable broth so I substituted with with chicken broth. The lentils cooked in 25 minutes and they were wonderfully tasting. This is definitely my go to recipe. Thank you for sharing 😊
Happy to hear that! Much love :)
Me encantó esta receta. Tan sencilla y tan reconfortante!!! Gracias por compartir. La sigo preparando. Y acompañada de pan con mantequilla cuando hace frío mejor!
Cuanto me alegro! Saludos :)
One of my favourite dish, specifically in winter. Kids love it too
Yes! Much love :)
My mother would add sliced chorizo to it and we'd fight over them! LOL Love lentejas! xoxo
"LOL"
🤦🏻♂️
I’ve had a bag of lentils on my kitchen counter for a few days and wanted to make lentil soup but now I think I’ll make this instead. Thanks for the video!
Hope you enjoy! Much love!
Thank you! Made this today, and as you said : mind blowing delicious ! Muchas Gracias !
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
Fantastic recipe. Delicious and so easy. Thank you👍
Happy to hear that! Much love :)
I have been making lentil soup all my life, usually with either curry powder or cumin. But this is now my favorite. I never thought of using smoked paprika in lentil soup, it is sooo delicious. Your recipes are simple but tasty. Thank you.
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
We made this last night, the full recipe even though there are only two of us. It was quite outstanding and very delicious. We had enough left over for lunch to day. Next time we will try with green lentils and just a tiny bit of chilli to give some zing. Definitely now on our favourites list!
So happy to hear that! Much love :)
Heathy and Yummy , my mouth is watering 🤤Thank you so much for informing us the measurements really helps.
Much love!
This looks amazing. Going to make it for the weekend. Can't wait ! Thank you.
Hope you enjoy! Much love :)
Interesting dish. I m greek and we have a similar dish but we keep it simple. We boil the lentils once , throw the first foaming water , we boil again and we add a little oil , onion , a little garlic and one-two laurel leaves. At the end five minutes before removing from fire we add origanum ( it gets bitter if cooked a lot) and finally some virgin olive oil , after removing from fire. The taste is amazing since you feel the taste of lentils not disguised by the variety of vegetables with the final touch of origanum. You eat with a food home-style bread and maybe some olives and you are in heaven...
@@cold_servo_pie we agree that we disagree and we agree that we are both sauvinists. Buenas nocces !!!!
The reason to throw the first water away is that in the boiling water the lentils released a lot of a kind of sugar types which typical let getting you become a ballon after eating lentils. So changing the boiling water makes them easier to digest :)
@@mickeymaus1 thanks for the tip. If you ever cook the lentils the way I described add a little vinegar at the end of cooking , I forgot to mention it
@@odysseasntalias5950 with the vinegar its also pretty common in Germany too but there u use also always bacon cubes at the beginning - instead of olive oil…
So the typical brown lentil dishes about whole Europe seaming to be in general pretty equal 😅
@@mickeymaus1 bacon. Definitely yummy but not healthy. But still i m gonna try your recipe. Danke!!!
Thank you. This is my favorite for lentils thus far. I am not vegan, so I used chicken stock instead of veg. and a house tomato/marinara beacuse I make it every year and keep frozen cubes all year long, vs sauce, added fresh tomatoes too, with a dash of redwine vinegar and oilve oil on top prior to serving. This is one of the easiest to make, and your directions are easy to folllow. Thanks again.
Happy to hear that! Much love :)
THE BEST lentils stew recipe I’ve seen so far! I’ve started a low fat, high fiber diet and this recipe will be great! THANKS!😃
Much love :)
This is the first time I've found your channel! Love this recipe, can't wait for more recipes! ❤ 🍽
Much love :)
I just wanted to say that I cooked this dish yesterday but we also used chorizo, it was delightful, thank you . 👏👏🙌👍👍🇬🇧
Glad you liked it!! Much love :)
Y con unos trocitos de jamon serrano, mucho mejor
Me encanta la estufa de lentejas, es como el “Sheppardless Pie” de Irlanda. Gracias 🤩
Saludos!
I clicked on the video for the recipe for a Spanish lentil stew, but I found something just as wonderful your voice. 😍
I cannot wait to try the stew!
Dios té bendiga
Much love :)
Amazing Recipe Thank you for share 🌷
I made this for the first time over the weekend and it was so easy (and oddly satisfying).
When I tried it straight away I thought it was a little bland until I added some salt, pepper, vinegar and olive oil.
But when I had the leftovers yesterday it was delicious and didn't need any extra seasoning.
10/10 will make again. Thanks for another wonderful recipe, Albert.
Much love :)
Stews and soups are always better the next day cause the flavors had time to develop :)
