So, and we're gonna 00:02:02.36\00:02:05.46 get those onions in, get them started, okay. 00:02:05.46\00:02:09.90 Now, normally what happens with this 00:02:10.43\00:02:13.20 as he's sautéing it? We called it caramelizing, 00:02:13.20\00:02:16.83 which means that at this time we always 00:02:16.83\00:02:18.86 talk about that letting it get translucent, 00:02:18.86\00:02:21.33 that kind of opal color, but basically with this 00:02:21.33\00:02:23.76 Pasta Lenticchie what you do is it actually gets, 00:02:23.76\00:02:26.03 it caramelizes the onions, so it goes 00:02:26.53\00:02:29.00 a little bit more, not to a burn, but it goes 00:02:29.00\00:02:31.43 a little bit to a brown state. 00:02:31.43\00:02:32.93 Well once again we're gonna go ahead on it 00:02:32.93\00:02:34.80 and put in the rest of the ingredients. 00:02:34.80\00:02:36.20 Now I want to say to you that we have the lentils. 00:02:36.20\00:02:38.56 These are the lentils, they have that 00:02:38.56\00:02:40.76 kind of a peppery type of a taste to them. 00:02:40.76\00:02:43.33 And then along with the lentils, we also 00:02:43.66\00:02:45.76 have this split pea, the green split pea, 00:02:45.76\00:02:47.90 it's also going with that. Then we have salad 00:02:48.20\00:02:50.86 macaroni or noodles that we're gonna be using 00:02:51.76\00:02:54.20 and this is a, a Sea shell that we're using in 00:02:54.20\00:02:57.33 this particular one that you're gonna have as well. 00:02:57.33\00:02:59.46 And what happens is when we do this recipe, 00:02:59.46\00:03:02.40 what we usually do is let it cook, let the peas 00:03:02.70\00:03:05.60 cook first, these are the peas in this group. 00:03:05.60\00:03:08.30 Let them cook down, after we caramelize the onions. 00:03:08.30\00:03:10.76 And then and toward the end, it goes almost about 00:03:11.03\00:03:12.90 closely two hours for it to cook very low on 00:03:12.90\00:03:14.96 the stove, it creates it's own gravy. 00:03:14.96\00:03:17.50 As I say, always gravy that's the starches and 00:03:17.76\00:03:19.70 the peas is there. And then the, the macaroni, 00:03:19.70\00:03:22.60 the noodles actually go in lastly and it is so hot 00:03:22.60\00:03:25.90 that the noodles actually cook the macaroni, alright. 00:03:26.16\00:03:30.03 Well we're gonna go ahead on, 00:03:30.03\00:03:31.43 stir it a little bit more there Curtis, 00:03:31.43\00:03:32.83 we're gonna go ahead, I'm gonna start putting in, 00:03:32.83\00:03:34.20 start putting in the, okay, the lentils, 00:03:34.43\00:03:36.36 stir it up just a little bit more there for me, 00:03:36.73\00:03:39.00 little bit more, okay. And yeah, once again 00:03:40.60\00:03:42.76 like I said before it go to that caramelizing 00:03:43.10\00:03:45.26 affect and, into this translucent. 00:03:45.26\00:03:47.33 No, it's gonna go past translucent. 00:03:47.63\00:03:49.03 Oh, past translucent, like I, 00:03:49.03\00:03:50.43 well we say caramelizing. 00:03:50.43\00:03:51.93 It's that short of it being browned, 00:03:51.93\00:03:54.10 okay, kind of onion. Okay, we don't want it 00:03:54.10\00:03:56.03 to burn or anything like that, alright. 00:03:56.03\00:03:57.46 Now, you know, lentils already had it's liquid 00:03:57.46\00:03:59.33 and everything, it's already done, 00:03:59.33\00:04:00.73 so we're gonna go ahead and put the lentils in. 00:04:00.73\00:04:02.56 Alright, I remember this dish was very good, 00:04:04.16\00:04:07.50 very tasty. Throw all the peas, 00:04:07.93\00:04:10.66 all the goodies in there. And then we're gonna 00:04:10.66\00:04:13.13 go ahead on and start the split peas in, ready? 00:04:13.13\00:04:17.80 Okay. And these split peas what, these are canned or. 00:04:17.80\00:04:21.70 No honey, everything has been cooked from scratch. 00:04:21.70\00:04:23.20 Oh, everything has been, okay just pay attention. 00:04:23.20\00:04:25.16 These are fresh, okay, you know, we got, 00:04:25.16\00:04:26.66 I got this, okay. The peas are go in there, 00:04:26.66\00:04:30.66 alright. And then you're gonna go ahead 00:04:30.66\00:04:32.80 and stir it up a little bit there. 00:04:32.80\00:04:34.20 Nice combination, okay, okay. 00:04:34.20\00:04:36.20 When we were visiting with our friends 00:04:36.20\00:04:38.56 believe or not we were served as it was a cold, 00:04:38.56\00:04:42.00 cold day. And so, it was a wonderful addition to 00:04:42.00\00:04:45.83 the, to the meal that evening to have 00:04:45.83\00:04:47.70 something like this, okay. Yes, it was. 00:04:47.70\00:04:49.50 And of course I said, you can salt to taste, 00:04:49.50\00:04:51.33 of course after everything is done you can do that. 00:04:51.33\00:04:53.60 One of the things that we always talk about is 00:04:53.60\00:04:55.16 that, do not put the salt in ahead of time 00:04:55.16\00:04:57.40 because it will actually retard or cause the bean 00:04:57.40\00:04:59.96 or the pea to go a little bit longer and it's tough 00:04:59.96\00:05:02.10 and so, okay. We want to put that in lastly. 00:05:02.10\00:05:04.43 And now we're gonna put in, and this is semolina 00:05:04.80\00:05:06.56 or shell noodle, that's gonna go in there as well. 00:05:06.83\00:05:09.03 So, why don't you go ahead on and add that to that to. 00:05:09.03\00:05:11.50 And, and a normal scenario after it cooks 00:05:11.80\00:05:13.96 for about almost an hour and a half to two hours 00:05:13.96\00:05:16.20 then you would put in the shell noodles, okay. 00:05:16.20\00:05:20.53 This was very tasty. Oh, yeah, oh yeah, on yeah. 00:05:21.03\00:05:23.60 Now, this can be one dish meal. 00:05:23.60\00:05:25.03 It can be a one dish meal. Because it has 00:05:25.03\00:05:26.43 everything in here, you have your pasta, 00:05:26.43\00:05:27.83 you have your legumes, and your peas. 00:05:27.83\00:05:31.00 You can serve this up with a salad Curtis, 00:05:31.33\00:05:33.80 right, and you can also serve it, some corn bread, 00:05:33.80\00:05:35.96 some corn bread, yes muffins. Yeah, okay, 00:05:35.96\00:05:37.40 just stir it a little bit more, 00:05:37.40\00:05:39.00 serve a little bit more. 00:05:39.00\00:05:40.36 On a hot or cold chilly day. Yeah, 00:05:40.60\00:05:44.23 on a hot day, on a cold day was when 00:05:44.23\00:05:47.96 we gotta to serve this on hot, a hot day. 00:05:47.96\00:05:50.46 Well, it would be too little 00:05:50.46\00:05:51.86 bit hot because, yeah. 00:05:51.86\00:05:53.26 Well, I mean this is good on hot day. 00:05:53.26\00:05:54.66 You can have, it's a nice hearty soup, 00:05:54.66\00:05:56.06 that's what it is. You can see that from the 00:05:56.06\00:05:57.46 combination here. And I would never 00:05:57.46\00:05:58.86 once again. I would never have guessed 00:05:58.86\00:06:00.26 that, you could put those together and 00:06:00.26\00:06:01.66 also it's an inexpensive meal when you think 00:06:01.66\00:06:03.10 about it that the pasta, the actual split pea 00:06:03.10\00:06:06.03 and also the lentils combination, okay. 00:06:06.03\00:06:07.93 I'm gonna go ahead on for the sake of our 00:06:08.23\00:06:10.26 program. And I'm gonna go ahead and 00:06:10.26\00:06:11.66 sprinkle that on top and this is the salt that 00:06:11.66\00:06:14.00 we're gonna be using also, okay. Stir it up 00:06:14.00\00:06:16.00 one more time now Curtis then we're 00:06:16.00\00:06:17.40 gonna put that lid on it. And, and how long we 00:06:17.40\00:06:20.30 let this cook honey? Well, when you after 00:06:20.30\00:06:22.63 you put your pasta in, it takes about a good 00:06:22.63\00:06:24.90 maybe 15 more minutes, okay. But we already 00:06:24.90\00:06:26.96 let it cook for a while and then once it's 00:06:26.96\00:06:28.70 finished the noodle itself will get done, 00:06:28.70\00:06:30.66 you will be able to taste that noodle and tell that 00:06:30.66\00:06:32.16 it's finished. And then of course at that point 00:06:32.16\00:06:34.46 it is ready to consume. And so, 00:06:34.90\00:06:37.63 what I want you to do is to stay by, 00:06:38.00\00:06:40.06 so you can see the finished product. 00:06:40.36\00:06:42.53
