I Tried NYT Cooking's HIGHEST Rated Vegan Recipe

I have been a longtime fan of NYT Cooking, they've been helping me with the basic and more intricate recipes ever since I started cooking. I wanted to see what the very highest rated, 5-star, most popular vegan dish would be like. This one came as a surprise to me. This Spiced Chickpea Stew With Coconut and Turmeric wasn't what I was expecting but it just might be your new favorite summer dish.

I like the idea of making one of the lower rated ones and then going through the process of fixing it.

I think it would be fun to try the worst rated one and try to "fix" it

Ahh, The Stew! I was sooo stew obsessed when Allison published this, I was making it once a week the entire winter, but tbh I kinda forgot about it. Prob cause I do soups & cassaroles when it's cold & salads & chilled food when it's hot

I've made this but amping it up with more spices because as an Indian I don't understand using only turmeric and red pepper flakes and it makes it so much tastier. Like the soup version of curry.

When you add salt after every step it’s more to develop the flavor of each ingredient than the specificity make it more salty. I really recommend doing that because of how it brings out the flavors of ingredients more and results in more depth of flavor overall.

I remember when thus recipe came out back in 2018. I make a modified version of this by adding cauliflower, red pepper, coriander and cumin powder. It makes a banger of a dish! Given the summer heat in Toronto maybe I should make it again.🤔

Ah, The Stew. This recipe was a mega-hit when it was first released, hence the 20, 000+ reviews. It's delicious.

Dear Merle, thanks a lot for sharing. Speaking about vengan and "gas" problems I'll follow the principal from mexican cooking, "the more spices, herbs in cooking you use, better digestion you'll get" Greetings from México. 😃

If you want this thicker, add the coconut milk last after the veggie stock reduced and thickens. I've found that coconut milk gets watery if it's cooked too long.

I love that you always offer possible additions and tweaks after showing us the OG recipes.

everything in this video looked tasty, I had to watch it a couple times because I was a bit distracted/mesmerized the first time.
I think I am going to make this later this week, I am going to add some oyster mushrooms some Daring Vegan Chiqin, and probably some fresh chili peppers.

Thanks, Merle

Once again highlighting how damn smooth that sponsor transition was! Seamless!

[meera]

Always look forward to your uploads! They bring me a sense of calmness and coziness ❤️

I was skeptical of this recipe because it seems too simple, but with your idea of adding tofu, now I have to make this! I could see cauliflower going really well with this soup as well, and to keep it super simple, you could just add riced cauliflower at the end!

The suggested yogurt and pita bulk this up. I usually serve with brown rice and add some cauliflower in to get a little extra veggies with my coconut milk. Another great vegan nyt recipe is the sheet pan chili crisp tofu.

Did you magically sense that I just sat down with a snack? 😂

[eddward]

Merle, thank you for sharing as always. This sounds like a fantastic simple version. I would add some chili crisp, nootch, and cauliflower to it as well. Greetings from San Francisco !

[margarett_b]

I love the sponsorship transition XD Also, they do have some great recipes, wow! And I'd totally want to see you test the bad one for us! Wht the amount of expertese you have I'll likely be able to make them so muc better!

[avasmithh]

[lizpimentel]

Omg this looks amazing 😋 I'm drooling! I need to try this next week. I need to scroll through the NYT recipes myself as well.
