I pulled some old footage of one of my favorite plant based recipes. My seasoned family may notice that Baby Whisk hasn’t yet been born 🥹😅
Happy New Year to you and your family! 🎉 I always love your recipes, and this one looks so simple and quick, yet delicious, so a good weeknight meal option. Thank you! I hope 2024 is a great year for you. Keep cooking 😁
I was looking for her. Pre baby whisk days
Because I was like ummm, where's that baby whisk I'm (We're) use to seeing 😂 Btw, enjoying Your other channel too with Your Beautiful Wife 😊 Be Blessed 😇
I need a baby wisk…every time I cook now the kiddos ask where's mine. Followed by a disapproving head shake and the gentle but strong whisper of the word…fail
I was just about to say, "where's baby whisk!!??" 😂😂
I’m here after watching “You Are What You Eat” over on Netflix. Although not ready to leap into a vegan diet outright, I will prepare at least three plant based meals a week for my family this year (I currently do 1-2). I’m loving your presentation and recipes. I’m going back through your videos today meal and grocery list prepping. I’m excited. New subscriber. 🇨🇦
❤️ thank you so much for tuning in! It took me years to go vegan. i started with 1 meal a week for a month, then 2, then 3 and so on (similar to you). Soon i collected so many recipes I liked i was about to a month. go at your own pace. you got this! 🙌🏾🫶🏾
haha i just watched that show too and here i am looking for vegan recipes
Good job you got this!
I love Andrew’s channel! His meals are fantastic. Other channels to look at are, Simnet Nutrition, Pick up Limes and Rainbow plant Life (Nisha).
Welcome to conscious eating.
It makes me happy that you are using your broccoli bottoms.
I throw mine away.
I was like, yes! Made me happy, too 😊
@@TheBradleyd1146 just peel them. They will be delicious and not woody at all.
I’m watching this all the way from Scotland. I absolutely love the format, the style and the content of these videos. I’ve watched KZhead for years and these are some of the best cookery videos I’ve watched. I’m a huge fan!
😍 Wow! thank you so so much! 🙏🏾 im so grateful
I am neither vego or vegan but I am so going to try this. I need more vege based dishes in my life.Yours look so approachable. Thank you Andrew.
🙌🏾 thank you so much! enjoy!
@@thenarddogcookscan you link your videos on your website? Thank you for sharing your talent with cooking plant based. I am able to help my family because of you. You are so appreciated!
@@thenarddogcookswe love your mom too!!!! ❤
I love how simple and quick your recipes are.
Nice! One of the best, clear explanations for trying plant-based meals. The categories listed were spot on for the concerns or hesitations some of us have in changing one's food choices.
Enjoying many of your recipes. Love the orderly presentation and quiet delivery.
Incredible. About two months ago I had to overhaul my eating for health reasons, and I went back to basics and tried to make the ultimate healthy, cheap, quick, tasty meal that was all fresh and whole foods, and I came up with almost the exact same dish, minus the chickpeas and nuts. By the time the rice finishes cooking, the the rest of the meal is prepped and cooked. Rice is easier on the stomach than other carbs, the garlic is working overtime for your health, I also go heavy on the pepper and ginger. Broccoli, especially burnt/charred slightly undercooked, is so satisfying and tasty, it’s really overlooked. You can also tweak it for Asian flavors, or European flavors, or Mexican, and if being vegan isn’t a necessity, you can add prawns or seafood or a little beef. But honestly in its vegan form it’s so satisfying.
🙌🏾 thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your input! Great info for those like me who are watching (my 2nd video) and aren't vegan. I would like to add a couple of meals to my rotation though.
Thank you for making affordable, easy to replicate vegan meals! Helping my family eat more plant-based diets has helped them lower their bad cholesterol and maintain healthier blood sugar levels. Gonna add this to the rotation.
🙌🏾🙏🏾❤️
I am trying this today. Thank you for sharing. One of the hardest parts of plant based eating is finding simple and delicious main meals but you have really made it easy to create them, follow along and most importantly make em tasty
Thank you so much, Nard Dog! Your life changing recipe may now change my life, too. The fact that you make and share food that is full of flavour and quick & easy, makes me think this might be possible for me 🙌🏽
I love how you now show the amount in grams ❤ makes it way easier to prep :) i will definitely make this, thank you 🙏🏼
❤️ so happy you said this! its a bit more work but as long as its useful, i dont mind at all! 🙏🏾
Really great recipes are key to staying plant based. IF the food does not taste good and has a boring flavor profile, you will not stick with it. Your channel can be a game changer for a lot of people.TY!
Great recipe. Thank you. Vegan for the animals💚
I acquired a taste for plain food just like everyone acquired the taste of cooked marinated meat from young. So it helps me differentiate the different ingredients in a dish.
I’ve been vegan since 1979 and still have those ‘protein withdrawals’ of sorts. Hunger pains are definitely hormonal so the ebb and flow of how much you need to feel satiated changes daily. Probably more so for women , but it’s something we all should keep in mind.
I've been vegan for over a decade now. I'm curious what these protein withdrawals are as I don't think I've ever experienced them.
My mom became vegetarian in 1969 after reading Diet for a Small Planet. Later she was macrobiotic for 10 years. Now she's 88, she started eating chicken a few years ago because she was "always hungry."
Love this! Once again you hit something I can make today since I have everything already here! Dinner is sorted! It’s 9:30am Sunday morning here and I was already mulling what to make….🤷♀️ thank you! Happy New Year to you and your family! 🥳 I’m looking forward to rest of this year with these postings. Love your discussions afterwards for potential subs too. Thanks! 🙏🏻🫶🏻✌🏻
Me too!
Gotta love when major decisions are solved WAY ahead of time! ❤️🙌🏾🙏🏾
You're the best, your videos changed the way I thought about cooking and had me cooking lots of your recepies last year, looking forward to seeing what you have for us this year! All the best.
😍 Awesome! Thank you so much!! 🙏🏾
I am honestly looking forward each week to Sunday to watch your new video! Just so therapeutic to watch 🥰 and highly appreciated that you now even provide measurements in gramms. And thank you so much for oil free option!!!
🙌🏾 im so happy!!! 🥰❤️
My Gosh - Just stumble upon your channel today. This recipe is obviously a beauty , your video perspective is absolutely brilliant , but it was the after the fact chat that blew my little pea brain. This is exactly what I was searching for!!! Happily subscribing and looking forward to following along. Much Appreciated, Cheers
Just made this today.. Added some brown sugar and shredded carrots.. Good recipe bro!!
New here and researching more plant based diets to get into my life. You had me first with the cashews...OH, that and breaking down the broccoli stalks like a sane person. WHY DON'T PEOPLE DO THAT????
Made this today! It was so flavorful and satisfying! I’m adding this to my rotation! Thank you for sharing!!❤
Thanks for the breakdown! Going to give this recipe a try.
Made this tonight. I’ve made a handful of your recipes. All have been great. This was maybe my fave so far. I’ve been V for 25 years and always looking for something new, easy and delicious and nourishing. I’m big on stir fry style take out food as well. So easy to make it cheap and healthy. I swear This is the kind of food that I lived off of the first 10 years of living on plants and what I still go to a couple times a week at least. Simple, affordable, nutrient dense and so tasty. Thanks for spreading the word and knowledge on all this, Andrew. It’s a magical life. Plants forever.✌🏻
This is the best Vegan recipes channel🎉 thank y'all so much for all of the hard work and time that go into this channel! 💐
😍 thank you!! ❤️ really appreciate it! 🫶🏾
I finally tried one of your recipes, and wow! This was amazing. It had so much flavor and it was super easy to make. My husband and I both loved it.
First one I have seen and thought the format was brilliant. Will give this one a go and watch a few of your other vids as well. Thanks for sharing.
I just made this for tonight's dinner. I love it, it's so filling. enough for 3 portions. (leftover friendly) It's a keeper. Thanks again for sharing Andrew.
I made this for my family tonight, and the children gave me two thumbs up. This meal was delicious, I see why you said that you eat this often. It was very flavorful and filling. Thank you. I am getting very close to adopting a plant based diet. 👍🏽👍🏽
Love your channel. You keep it very easy and simple. What a great job you do!!!! 👏🏾 👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I’m new to the plant base lifestyle. I made this a couple weeks ago, it was good. I’m making it again today. Thank you for sharing 😊
I love this recipe (as in going to make it tomorrow) as well as your tips! Just as an alternative with the broccoli though: I always use the stems, but I peel them. It doesn't really take long, and then the stems cook just as quickly and tenderly as the florets. I started doing it back when you could only buy whole heads of broccoli (crowns weren't a thing yet) and I couldn't bear to waste the lovely stems! Thanks again for an inspiring recipe!
Brother Andrew, you are saving lives! Happy New Year 😊 to you and your family!
🙏🏾 much appreciation for you! right back at you! 🎉
Hello from France. Thank you so much for this video. It looked so yummy, I ran out and got the other ingredients needed to make the dish and it was delicious. Even chopped the cashews on my cutting board as you did😊. Then had it over a bed of whole wheat rice and looking forward to eating it tomorrow for lunch😉😉
Thank you for educating us while also providing healthy and delicious meal options. You are amazing ❤💐🌟💯
Missed you lately. Another amazing recipe! Happy New Year to you and your family! ❤
❤️ happy new years to you and yours! ❤️
Looking forward to going to the store, getting ingredients, and starting the journey.
Loved the way you talked through afterwards.
I'm having this tonight - without the beans though. Thanks for taking the time to show us how to make delicious yet healthy meals🥗
Hey Andrew! Ok, this recipe changed my life… I’m on my Vegan life walk and so far so good. I absolutely love this recipe and have introduced it to several friends. We use this recipe at my church for our Daniel Fast. Absolutely amazing. Thanks!
Thank you, YT algorithm, for putting this video in my feed - it's a plant-based dish that doesn't start with onions! My wife can eat it! (For real, though - I look forward to going through your other content!!)
I made this on Sunday as a meal prep for the week. It was amazing. Reheated nicely for work. I “forced” my family to eat it because it was so good. They loved it too. ❤
😂 🙌🏾 thanks for sharing!
I love the sound of all the things being chopped up at the beginning!
I found this channel and this recipe and love it. I shared it with my wife and kids (each of them are not vegan) and they love it. It’s in the regular rotation! Thank you!
🙌🏾 ❤️ pure amazingness right there! TY 🙏🏾
I'm so making this sometime this week. Looks amazing, especially with all that garlic! 😋
🙌🏾 Hope you enjoy!! I got a crush on garlic! 🫶🏾
Just wanna say that I love your recipes, basically only cook your dishes now ! It is balanced, nutritious and delicious and was enough to get rid of the last plant alternative I was using. Supporting you from today ! Keep the good work in 2024 !
🙌🏾❤️ this means a lot! thank you so much! 🙏🏾
@@thenarddogcooks You're quite welcome ! Keep the love goin on ! ❤️
Absolutely amazing how fast and fantastic that is……Wow!!!
This recipe is delicious. The only change I made was add the cashews on top when the meal was finished. Anything with chickpeas I am interested in! Thanks, bud!
Just made this and it was absolutely delicious! Thank you so much!
I am not vegan, but I watch one of your recipes once a day. You explain why in this video. Great work.
Thank you so much for including the macro's! Awesome recipe I will must certainly try!
❤️ you got it!
Also showing grams was very good, thank you! Often my reason to keep watching Cooking videos.
This meal looks very tasty. When I make it, I’ll switch the brown rice for jasmine, and I’m adding a sweet onion. This one tickled my taste buds!😋
this is just the talk I needed to get me into the Plant based diet. Andrew you are briliant !!
I’ll be making this tonight for my lunches this week. I’ll substitute the rice with quinoa, better for my sugar levels since I’m diabetic. Might add some red bell pepper also. Your recipes are amazing and that beard is bad A$$. Keep up the amazing work. Anyone reading this let’s get this man to 1 million subscribers, it would be well deserved.
You nailed it! Convenience, flavor and satiation are key to maintaining a healthy vegan diet. I have been vegan for 8 years and I am still learning new ways to cook. Thank you for breaking this down so thoughtfully. Your videos are awesome. I found you though Instagram.
😍 8 years!? amazing! im still working my way there. 🙌🏾 you're so welcome!! thank you so much! ❤️
Love this! Broccoli is my favorite veg, looking forward to pairing it up with chickpeas and the tasty sauce. Thank you for your fast/easy recipes.
I’ve made this and it’s amazing! Thanks so much for giving us incredible recipes
You are so welcome! ❤️ 🙏🏾
Love the recipe. Nutritionists say brown rice is better than white rice for health reasons. But many, including me, don’t like the taste of whole grain rice. I have cracked it. One part whole grain rice, one part white rice, one part brown lentils. Delicious and nutty with a very faint black pepper note to the taste and contains more fibre and protein than white rice alone. One tip, the white rice has a slightly shorter cooking time, cook the brown rice and lentils for 5 minutes before adding the white rice and then cook until all 3 are cooked together.
Yeah, I'm making this tomorrow. It's everything I love in a meal. Thx
I made this recipe for my dinner 3 times this week. Absolutely delicious!
Thank you for sharing your talents. I am going to try this recipe and your anti-inflammatory soup. I'm a bit nervous to make it for my family, but I want to introduce something different for us. Thanks again!
Peace and love. Thank you
You are the best chef and i love your vibe. Thank you for creating this content 🙏 ❤
Wow, thank you!🙏🏾❤️
Very easy recipe to make and it came out good! Thank you!
making this asap. thank you for all your videos.
Am eating this at the moment! It is so delicious. Was super quick and so much food from a few simple ingredients. Will definitely include as a regular meal🤩
Good man! When I make dishes with garlic, I use a full bulb also. Besides being good for you, it keeps the vampires at bay. Great recipe! Great video.
We made this for supper last night, and it was devoured (even the teenagers loved it!!)
I’m eating this dish right now and WOW! Completely unexpected flavors. 😊Totally see why it was one of the first dishes that made you stay with vegan. It’s delicious!
Big fan of your recipes and the production of your videos!!!! 💯💥
I am not an all plant based eater in any way, shape or form however, I was very curious about this recipe when it came across my feed and I saw the title. I have to say, I love all the items in the recipe and am going to try it without..LARGE PAUSE..adding chicken. lol. Thank you!
This meal is a chefs kiss, just amazing. Thank you so much for sharing!
Looks delicious! I’m going to add it onto this week’s meals.
Thank you, can’t wait to try this. It looks amazing ❤
Just made this…DELICIOUS! The chickpea and cashew take the place of meat quite nicely!!! My 1:58 , non-vegan daughter enjoyed it. THANK YOU!
The man with the golden voice💕 Speak your truth brother💗
I have recently come across your channel. I love your presentation and your recipes look so delicious. Very excited to begin trying them.
I appreciate you for sharing this recipe. It was delicious! I subbed coconut aminos for the soy and made a honey-roasted chili peppers sauce instead of the garlic chili sauce. Came out great! 👩🍳
Just discovered your channel a couple of days ago. Long time veggie. Made this meal tonight. Big success with the boys (he has the same taste for garlic and soy sauce than me). I will try adding a big spoon of rice vinegar in the soy sauce and fresh ginger next time, to get this japan fusion taste we love at home. Thanks.
Grats pn the new whisk! This was uour first recipie i tried, love your channel and your website.
OK ~ SO GOOD! Will cook asap; thank you! 🙂
Man! I just love your video presentation soo much❤❤
Thank you so much ❤️🙏🏾
I made this tonight. Only thing I added was green onion for garnish. It is truly epic. Thank you!
Excellent! Great editing fast and efficient,
Just made this! So delicious. Added avocado and cilantro on top. So delicious.
Nicely presented. Will try very soon! Thanks.
I make this recipe weekly! its so delicious. thx for sharing!!
🙌🏾 love hearing that!! 🙏🏾
Can't wait to try this!!! 🥰
Delicious 😋 Love nuts in my food for the crunch and texture. Gonna make this dish soon, omitting the broccoli stems (keeping the florets) substituting with shredded kale, pepita's and chilli flakes.
That looks so delicious!!! Love your recipes!
Great video! Can't wait to try it! Btw I am a HUGE fan of your roasted red pepper sweet potato soup (which I call winter soup)! I have a tip that I learned this week: to cut the broccoli and avoid all those small seeds (florets) lying around you can cut the smaller stems and open from there with your hands. That way the "florets spill" is avoided! It might be more time-consuming though
AMAZING MEAL TASTES GREAT THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE TEACHING ME HOW TO COOK
This looks absolutely amazing! I love anything over rice!
Me too!! 🙌🏾 ❤️🙏🏾
so simple yet so delish! thank you!
You are so welcome!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU ☺️🙏🏾
New subscriber here. Almost 10 years ago we tried the Forks Over Knives vegan diet for about a year and I dropped some serious lbs. I went from about 265 to 220 over the course of that year, and then we just kind of went lax, got bored, got more busy, etc...insert all the excuses here. I've just retired a couple weeks ago and really want to focus on my health going forward. This recipe looks great and I'm looking over some of you other videos and getting very interested again. I'm seeing in the comments that quite a few folks focus are adding vegan/vegetarian meals into their meal planning...say 3 or 4 meals a week to build it up in their lifestyle. I really like that approach! I think we'll start working that into our plan as well. Having great recipes and ideas will definitely make a difference. I'm back to floating around that 255-260 weight again and I'm missing the energy and the relief on my back and knees at the lower weight. Looking forward to digging into some of your past videos!
i agree, 🙌🏾 thanks for sharing! 🙏🏾
Yes let us eat, i tried toasted edamame instead of peanuts for one of my dishes and loved it.
Very nice, I have made it with beans. GREAT JOB❤
I do believe this is one of the first of your recipes I made. So yummy.
Mine too! I still make this at least once a month 😅
oddly sometimes i forget about this one and when i remember it, im like... 🤦🏾♂️ how dare I forget such goodness!
