Todays recipes is a whole food immune boosting stew, but not any old stew, this is an Ikarian Stew that's eaten every day by the collective oldest group of siblings on earth, the 9 siblings have a collective age of 861!! This stew is great for your immune system as its whole food plant based, this is gentle on your digestive system and in turn helps keep your body relaxed and give it more enrgy to fight of sickness. We used a lot of ingredients from our pandemic pantry / kitchen essntials video.

I live in Brooklyn, NYC, and it's a bit of a weird time here now as I'm sure it is everywhere. But it's great to end the work-from-home day cooking one of your meals. My girlfriend and I have been cooking them for months. All of the meals that I like from your videos, I transcribe onto my phone, and now I have a couple of dozen of them stored up. Thanks for all you guys have done all these years and thanks for posting these videos even at times like these. I'll be at the market tomorrow buying ingredients for this.
Wow, thanks so much for the lovely comment! Glad we could be of use. Fair play to you both! 😀😀😀
can you share the transcribed recipes with us? 😁
@@conan_der_barbar just go to the Happy Pear site
@@thehappypear A simple recipe for someone like me!!! Could I replace kale and broccoli with mushrooms, or do without soy sauce? Please reply to me.
@@gordanazakula4927 I know you asked this question a long time ago, LOL and I'm sure you have figured it out and done it your way, but I just at the moment and making this recipe for about the 10th time in a year, I actually make it once a month and every month it's a little different. I change up some of the green veg, I change up the pasta portion, this time I'm using red quinoa, last time I used red lentil pasta, the time before I used barley and some white quinoa,it's all good! I season the stew per serving cuz everyone has different flavor profiles they prefer but I sometimes add extra beans at the end and that's when I add tons of parboiled mushrooms I don't put them in the stew itself. After about 2 days in the big pot in the fridge, I transfer it to single serving portions and freeze. Serve it with a crusty baguette and vegan butter, absolutely amazing! Best of luck and enjoy!
Thank you so much for this video, that looks warm and comforting. I’m gonna make a big batch and store the leftovers in the freezer too. To those who read this, stay safe and keep cooking! Sending a virtual hug 😭❤️🤗
Thanks Linda you too 👍🏼😄💚
This is tonight’s dinner and a few other meals. Bless you and may you and your loved ones stay healthy and as calm as possible. 🙏❤️
Thanks Jeanne you too! Sending lots of love 👍🏼😄💚
I was born in the island above Ikaria. My uncle, a chain-smoker, is in his 90s and quite healthy, and all his brothers and sisters are in their 70s and 80s.
Amazing!! I can imagine they're all still very social and laid back.
The Happy Pear Unfortunately, yes! They are also self absorbed, very demanding and judgemental. Which explains why I noe live on the other side of Europe. ; D))))
Making this for the fifth time today!
I made lentils soup 2 days ago, my grandma always made lentils soup she will be 92 this June .
Wow that's amazing news!! The island this recipe is from is called the Island of Old Age. 😀
I've been making a similar soup for years. Love the use of broccoli stems
We waste too much!
Fair play Gwen!! Love to hear it. It's hard to beat a good stew.
Very sesyyyyy mannnnnn.... Yummmmm
Finally someone spoke about washing the vegetables. 👏🏻
Especially Leak anyway. Sometimes we let the dirt on our potatoes in to the stew for a bit of added B12 😅
The Happy Pear haha!! Yes and Bak Choy too, it needs special scrubbing. Thank you for sharing your recipes - the no-oil cooking is really helping me stick to a healthier lifestyle.
This looks so satiating. Yum.
Going to make this tomorrow as they are expecting it to be a dark rainy Sunday ... Thanks for yet another amazing recipe. Love to everyone out there; let's be kind to one and other, stay indoors, stay safe.
I've lost count! I have made this once a month since spring of 2020, so probably 36 times!.
Thank you guys I'm so grateful for this beautiful recipe!
Thanks lads! Great message on the points of how healthy these simple foods are. Looks delish as always.
Thanks a mill Pat 👍🏼😄💚
Excellent!
cabbage would be a nice addition
Definitely. Our Irishness felt weird not having cabbage in the stew. 😀
Thanks guys. We are eating so well at the moment. I’m vegan and my husband eats what I give him because he says the food is so wholesome. I suppose it’s wrong to veganise a person in isolation but the food is so good and I dose him with B 12, and multivitamins. Thank you for being relevant.
Alexandra Fingleton i do not see how it can be wrong when your husband happily eats all you prepare and set before him. If you were lying to or misleading him that might be different given that he is an adult and capable of making his own food choices. Even that is sometimes a thin line to navigate when someone we care for refuses to make better choices even when their health or life may depend on it.
What is relevant right now is keeping ourselves as healthy as possible. A large part of that is based on the food we put into our body. You are giving both you and your husband extra ammunition by eating as healthy a vegan diet as you can for as long as you can. Our best defence starts on the inside.
Wishing you and yours peace and continued good health! XO
Thanks for cheering me up in such difficult times Mr Flinns 👍
Delighted to hear Amber - our pleasure - sending loads of love 🙏🏻😊❤️
Making this for about the 10th time, everyone can follow this wonderful recipe and then tweak it here and there with your own ideas, it's awesome and always comes out amazing, freezes well and is so healthy! Thanks boys!
I can just agree ❤️☺️
Your families must be so happy with all the yumminess the two of you make for them.
I will LOVE this Minestrone Stew......I can never pass on this sort of food ! Thank you SO much = My Sunday sorted !!! Keep Well Keep Safe.
Super stuff thanks you too sending lots of love 👍🏼😄💚
I've cooked this twice now and it's so good! I add corn and chop up some roma tomatoes as well :D
So delicious!
I would put the broccoli in later so it stays a little greener and crunchy. I’m making this. Thanks.
Fantastic!! Just what we need right now 😘
Thanks dudes ❤️
Super stuff thanks enjoy 👍🏼😄💚
Leprechaun Chipmunk hybrid....fascinating
Making this for the 6th time today! Amazing to portion out and freeze and just pull out when time is short and you need something quick and super healthy! PS it gets better with age!
Serving suggestion~add extra beans extra chopped tomatoes fresh or canned and parboiled mushrooms just before reheating. Serve with a crusty bread, just like the boys did!
Making it again tonight for about the 11th or 12th time! I'm up to once or twice a month now and I tweak it different ways different months it's amazing! Thanks again, boys!, 💚
I think this is
Number 13! Although I've tweaked it a lot it's still the basic recipe that's given here. Thank you Dave and Steve and happy belated Saint Patrick's Day 💚
I made this during the beginning of the pandemic pretty soon after you uploaded it and it was a great hit! Then I couldn't find the recipe again 😪but I just found it,😃 so I'm going to make it tonight! Much thanks and Love from beautiful coastal Connecticut, USA🇺🇲
Made a big version of this just cleaning out the fridge of fresh veggies plus some canned beans. Was concerned about the lack of seasoning except the Tamari and black pepper but it’s amazingly delicious!
Just made this.
Omitted the pasta and lentils bc I didn’t have any, so I blended it and added chia seeds, it’s delicious!
Gonna order the book at the end of the month, great job guys 👏🏻
Well done! The perfect meal to make while we are on home quarantine after returning from Portugal. Will be making this tonight.
Stay safe and be well! ❤️💪🏻🥦🥔🌽
Oh wow! Glad you got home!! Enjoy your stew.
I made a weeks worth and it’s so nice and I spent around £20 on the shop. Definitely my new favourite recipe !
Just made this and it is absolutely comforting, delicious, and hearty ... we all need a soup like this in these trying times to help us heal. Bless you.
I made this stew and it was really good. We got two days out of it. Thank you
Stews and soups have been my go to lately.
18th or 19th batch, coming up to 3 years making this every month or every other month, found this video at the very beginning of the pandemic, mid March 2020 and been having it and freezing portions every month ever since! By the way, we add mushrooms and maybe some extra beans and whatever we have laying around, leftover peas or something just throw that in. And each person seasons at the way they like, my favorite is turmeric, black pepper, garlic powder, a bit of Cajun seasoning and to top it off, a shot of vegan Worcestershire (made without the anchovies
Oh, I can't wait to make this and try it. This looks so good. Stay safe. 💕
Thanks a million. Keep thriving on plants!!
Many times the simplest is usually the best and this recipe has to be delicious and healthy. Thanks for the video and stay safe.
Thanks Nacho - you too - mind your self 🙏🏻😊❤️
Have just come over from Eamon and Bec's new channel Eamon and Bec PLUS where they are doing a '21 day fitness challenge workouts' to keep us all active during quarantine. Don't know if you guys are up for it as you are already so fit, but their workouts on a Moroccan beach are a good incentive.
This looks delicious 😛
We saw they're stuck there. Must give the videos a watch. 😀
my first time tuning in, good recipe. I could listen to you two just read a phone book, actually, lovely discovery seeing how you teach. thanks.
Thanks so much Teri! Sending loads of love! Have a great week
The longest living people in the world (or at least in Ikaria, Sardinia and Nicoya) are loading up on legumes, whole grains (apart from the white bread) and plenty of veg.
They're also cooking and dousing their food with copious amounts of Olive Oil, which doesn't seem to be doing *them* any harm! 😉😉
Deliciously tasty and healthy minestrone, love it, and for me the final touch would be a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, being italian (and vegan for 8 years). In Dublin.
The stew looks delicious and really easy to adapt to what we have in our pantries!
Thanks it really is - enjoy 👍🏼😄💚
Thank you both, looks amazing......there wear leeks and kale still on the shelves.....🤗
Amazing, glad to hear it Josie. The healthy foods usually get forget in panic times.
🤤This looks soooooo satisfying. I can't wait to try it. Thanks guys!
Looks delish! I will be creating a version of this. I’m still using weekly my HH recipes from years back. Cheers guys 🙌
When will your new book be available in the USA? I only see the Kindle version but I want an actual book. Thanks.
This is just like what I made today!! But with more spices and used beans that I soaked/cooked myself. Super tasty :)
Fair Play! Cooking your own beans is great. Have a great weekend. :D
Well done lads! That looks bloody lovely!
Thanks a million Jesse! Hope you get to try it out.
Awesome recipe! Looks super warm and enjoyable! Love the shoutout to the Blue Zones here! Very well done!
Thanks it’s such a tasty recipe 👍🏼😄💚
@@thehappypear I'll have to give it a try! Would love to know what you think of some of the recipes I've posted thus far on my channel. No pressure or anything. I just really enjoy what you guys do and I love having you guys as a resource that I can send my clients/patients to for recipe inspiration!
Bread crust ASMR ftw.
Paul and I went to Ikaria last summer!
Can’t wait to visit one day 👍🏼😄💚
The Happy Pear It took some figuring out how to get there. We got the boat from Mykonos to Evdilos on the north side of the island, hired a car and travelled across to the south side of the island - spectacular scenic drive across a mountain range. There is a fabulous health food shop (last shop on the left) as you leave Evdilos - and then we stayed in a small seaside village called Therma where there is a natural thermal spring in the harbor. We left the island from the south port of Agios Kirykos. We only spent a couple nights there because we were scouting things out, but definitely want to go back and explore other parts of the island.
I LOVE IT! And My husband too👍🏼👍🏼🥰
Amazing thanks so much for letting us know! Have a great weekend.
Mmm yummy I have all these ingredients I will have to make this
Thanks for the recipe guys 💞
Thanks a mill Kaffee! Let us know what you think of it when you do. 😀😅
Please note that your links are going to a website based in singapore
Looks great. Going to have to try this one!
Thanks a million! Hope you enjoy it.
So probably 20 or 21st batch since March of 2020!🍲
Can't wait to make this!
I'll be making this....thanks guys! 🙂
Love to hear it Anne-Marie!! Enjoy
So I think this might be my 16th or 17th batch!
Made this tonight. Wow this was soooo good. I got thirds and that never happens 😆
Wow amazing Danika!! You can see how a family could eat it every day for their whole lives.
we call that "manestra" I use lentils,buckwheat, and amaranth with vegies
This looks Amazing! I love your Videos. Can I ask, would I use soya sauce instead of Tamari?
Sure thing they’re both very similar 👍🏼😄💚
Looks amazing, cant wait to make when I can get the ingredients. I'm having trouble finding a clean oil free vegetable broth. Can anybody help? I guess I could just use water instead? Any tips for me please & thanks for your great videos
Making your own veg stock is easy if you have the time. Just fry any old veg in a pot and the add water and let it reduce down for an hour or so. Really great way to use up old veg. 😀
I use miso as a stock. Is it oil free?
Love you guys! ☮️
Yummy 😋 What veggie broth/ stock do you use and is it oil free. I tend to use miso paste as I haven’t found an oil free one yet . Looking forward to making this. Thanks again
I'd have to double check the brand, we decant ours from our bulk supply in our factory.
Making it from scratch is a great way to control whats going into your stock though.
Thank you guys I loveeee you both 😅🥰🙏🏻💕😘❤️
Thanks Carolina! Hope you get to enjoy it soon.
Could you please do a video for lemongrass and chilli stir fry?
I made this today omg! Yummmmmmmy it definitely tastes like minestrone soup, what I want to know is, do you have or want to share your sourdough bread recipe, 🙁 coz I'm having troubles with mine 😕 thanks
We're trying to plan how we can make a coherent video about the whole process. We'll do our best to have it out soon though.
Please make a video about that sourdough bread! :DDD
Steve has been itching too. Just need to get each component at the right time so the video is 24 hours long haha
Just a question: why do you discard the water in the cans? Seems like it would be nutrient rich.
It’ll really give you gas and sometimes abdominal cramps. 😷
Stay safe, everyone!
If you can get the ingredients, maybe now is the time to try some of those more time consuming recipes you usually don't get around to making? At least that's my plan...
Fair play! That's what we're doing too. Steve had make a loaf of bread from scratch every day.
The link to the recipe does not work. Is it possible to upload the link please? Or give us the name of the soup to search on your page? :)
Why don't people use the leaves of cauliflower anymore that's the best bit
Great, Gents! Hope you guys are feeling ok... you both sounded a bit congested?
Cheers Gary. We're all good. Steve was having a bit of an allergic reaction to cat hair on my top, but that's all thankfully. Hope you're well.
The Happy Pear good stuff! 👍
I can't eat tomato - will this be fine without? (I'm guessing yes, but checking anyway. Thanks)
Should add tomato paste earlier before stocks so its flavour is imparted more
Thanks worked out fab as it was so tasty and full flavoured 👍🏼😄💚
This would be healthier with EVOO
Why no oil at all?
Why is there no oil in it?
Having both onions and leeks seems like a lot, has anyone who's made this found it too strong?
Could I cook that in the slow cooker lads?
You got a bit of an Audio issue on this video guys. Very good vid overall though.
We know, its a shielding problem somewhere on the radio mics, can't figure out if its the cables, mics or radio pack. They get affected by the current from the element in the electric hob when its turned up high. We even bought a new hob.
See what healthy eating does to you? These guys are well into their 70s.
Random question but how come you don't peel carrots? Surely that's a grainy texture.
Just wash them as more minerals are in the skin 😄👍🏼💚
@@thehappypear Cheers guys, gonna try this dish over the weekend :)
I never peel mine, just scrub them.
Why does one brother sound Aussie while the other sounds Irish?
i use chickpea based pasta, way better for you.
As tasty as the recipe is, please please avoid using the misleading term immune "boosting" just to catch people's attention during the C-19 pandemic! No foods, vitamins and diets actually 'boost' your immune system, but rather "support" or "supplement" whatever's already in your diet.
In fact, too much "boosting" of the immune system can be harmful, for example look at auto-immune diseases where your defence systm actually attacks your own body! It's all about balance.
Instead of anxiously and panic-ly eating lots of these foods, it's more important to exercise regularly and to have a balanced diet!
Stay safe everyone and look after each other!
I predict when this pandemic is over people will have lost weight. People are forced to cook at home again and not eat out especially no fast food.
Too bad we cant buy any ingredients at the moment due to panic buyers.
We usually find the healthy stuff is always left behind 😅
Is there any science behind this?
It relies on the science behind gut health and foods that help it. We've worked with a gastroenterologist on our Happy Gut Course and we've learned so much from him.
So an average age of 96?
Yup. That's why they're so special and why people are studying them.
@@thehappypear huh, cool.
Bland!
No oil? Why? Our immune system need a certain amount of fat to work properly, so if it is a dish that is looking for boost the immune system you shouldn't be afraid of using oil, or at least garnish with some nuts, almonds or olive oil. I really can't understand why you guys make so many videos "oil free", specially when vegans don't eat meat fat, they always need to be aware of importance of putting the right amount of fat on their diet... (sorry for the bad English, I'm brazilian...)
Fat soluble vitamins for sure
Plus very good english for second language
We agree with you about garnishing with nuts and almonds. There are many fat sources that are not refined sources. If you would like a recipe with oil we have hundreds of them. This is just one recipe we made for our subscribers who asked for a recipe without oil. If you'd like it with oil you can just add the oil. 👍😀
Can I replace the leek with anything else?
For sure - use onion or just leave it out if you prefer 👍
Won't find most of this stuff anymore
You can easily substitute with what you have - hope all good in the current times 💚
@@thehappypear unless I can substitute with chips it won't work. Either way I hope super markets go back to normal. Got some lentils and stuff. Daal on the menu
There is no such thing as a happy pear when im around. I consider the fruit basket on a counter death row . Bunch of fruits just waiting to be gobbled up.
Hahaha you're the Grim Reaper of fruit.
If there was a thing as being too nutritious. This would be it. Yummy
It's pretty close alright. The family that eat it are worth reading about. An amazing story.
