everytime he says "trust me" i really trust him

"- Who is the best friend of lemon? -of course, Mr Rosmary. The Top tip of the week. Classic.

It would be cool to see more of the inner side of the pot as well, not only from the outside, so we could see the proper consistency of the food

I made this last week and it was so delicious! I added a lot of lemon and fresh dill at the end. My husband got mad when he saw me cooking this dish. He said he hates chickpeas and I should have made lentil soup. But when he tried the soup he couldn't believe it. He said it is amazing that I can make something so disgusting taste sooooooo good! He said it was like a nice cooked meal one would eat in a european pub. Thanks Akis! Happy cooking! Cheers!

This is the first time I've seen your videos, and LOVE the way you explain extra stuff. You don't just tell me what to do, you tell me "why" to do it, which helps me to remember it later. Well done. Can't wait to try it.

Hi! I'm Hispanic but I lives in United States. I love three things from you: 1. Your recipes. Because it's really healthy and some recipes could be gluten free. Perfect for me. 2. Your accent it's very unique. 3. Your simplicity. I lovet!! Thank you New subscribe. 😉👍

Use vegetable stock instead of chicken and this becomes vegan. Perfect for Great Lent!

Right when you took a bite & I saw your face, I said out loud - “tastes like home”. I know the flavors very well from my family! I could feel it! Opa! 🇬🇷💙

I lived in Rhodes, Cyprus and Thessaloniki in the 50s and 60s and had this dish made pretty much the same way with very little differences. It's amazing. I love chickpeas and anything with dill and lemon. I learned to make this dish from one of the employees at the embassy in Thessaloniki who taught me how to make other Greek dishes as well. Kaló fagitó. Thank you Akis for demonstrating how to make this amazing dish.

I made this for my family today. Was absolutely delicious. I even added some swiss chard for some green. Highly recommended recipe for everyone. It is very tart and lemony, not for everyone but for me it was delicious.

@Akis: Thank you so much. I grew up in Germany where my parents owned restaurants. One of their friends was Greek and had a restaurant as well, called Olympus. I grew up loving Greek food. Thank you so much for bringing traditional Greek dishes to so many. This is just awesome. Thank you!

Akis! I made this recipie already 30 times. Sprinkled with feta at the end. Used Italian olive oil. Used greek olive oil. With different types of onions. With and without blending... BUT! It always ends up incredibly tasty warmy winter dish... it's a magic :)

Akis is a terrific showman and chef and shows how enthusiastic he is about the food he makes. Thank you chef, it’s just great.

This Revythada has become a staple in my diet. It is so rich and zesty, fresh thyme and rosemary make this dish come alive. Thank you again Akis.

i have already made this recipe and i can tell you it was one of the best meals i have ever eaten

It's amazing, this dish is very similar to a Spanish one known as "potaje". Traditionally cooked at eastern or Semana Santa (Holy week). I love you Hellenes!!! 🇪🇸🇬🇷❤️❤️❤️

“Look at this. This is beautiful. This is lovely. This is amazing.” Me waiting for the cameraman to freaking show the stew. 😤😂

Yes! Stuff from my childhood. I really miss my mother.

We in India also cook Chikpeas. It is called 'CHOLE'. It is served with flat Indian bread called' KULCHA'. It is most popular street food in New Delhi, perhaps as iconic as 'HOT DOG' in New York.

I love that you’re speaking English now! My partner is Greek and I understand a few words (especially food) so I can generally follow along... but this is much easier thank you!!

"Sexy nice chickpeas" - I think that's a better name for the soup.

I love chickpeas almost as much as I love Akis. Such a dreamboat! And such a great chef.

I lived in Spain for four years. Even before then, as a kid, I was introduced to Mediterranean food and developed a real appreciation for chickpeas (garbanzos). In Spain, that appreciation for chickpeas was only increased. This recipe of yours is, without a doubt, going to satisfy the taste buds, be a hearty meal and be healthy, as well. It promises to be a very healthy and satisfying pleasure. Thank you. (I am subscribed, by the way.)

This dish is SO delicious, simple and fresh! I recently became a vegan and I love one-pot-meals, so I'm constantly searching for stews with legumes, particularly chickpeas. (Also, I happen to love Greece and Greek food - I've been to Greece twice and definitely want to visit again). The only change I made was with vegetable stock in stead of chicken stock. σας ευχαριστώ!

I love chickpeas and it’s a cold, snowy day perfect for a nice bowl of warming soup or stew...thank you!

I love your recipes man, I absolutely love mediteranian food. I like how you grow all your herbs on that rack

Made this over the weekend and it went so fast, I have to make another batch. Delicious! Used vegan stock to make it vegetarian. Shared this with a bunch of friends.

I'm legit not sure if I'm watching the cooking or watching his fine self but all I know is, yes 💖

This was amazing! My family claims they don't like chickpeas, but went back for multiple servings of this. Will definitely make again, thank you!

Used this as inspiration to make a red lentil soup today, absolutely delicious. The lemon hit just made it, a new favourite!

kalimera akis ı tried thiis recipe and its perfect thanks we turkish guys from aegian region loves to cook like greece men

Tonight, I came home from work and I had red beans soaking for eight hours. I cooked them the way you cook the chickpeas and also adding a Cuban style recipe with a touch of herbs including Curry leaves. And pork bone. It’s absolutely delicious!. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and recipes. We learn a lot. God Bless you always.A lot of viewers admire you and love you. Thank you 👍🏼👨‍🍳Chef Garcia from Hollywood

This has become one of my regular recipes, I cook this at least every other week. Thank you!

Oh my God I’m so glad I found you !!! you were the first person who thinks like me with the great big cutting board countertop everyone thinks I’m nuts that I want to have a big slab of wood that I use as one big chopping block !! so I’m glad you have one so I can see how it looks after you’ve been cooking on it for a while, thank you thank you and love your “do not salt the chickpeas while cooking” tip I never knew that either this looks delicious I will make it next week thank you again, sexy kitchen too 💖👍

i was waiting for him to start screaming "THIS IS SPARTA" half way into the video. Besides that, amazing recipe. Thanks. :)

I made this dish tonight for dinner and added some pan seared Day scallops on top. It was DELICIOUS!

Wasn’t sure about this at first but holy moly, once you get into it it’s absolutely outstanding

Thank you for this recipe! Magic on every level.

This looks amazing, and I will definitely try it! Greek cuisine is my absolute favorite. So healthy, fresh and delicious!

You are completely right chef Akis. This recipe is a-mazing. My comfort food used to be junk food, but now I need to make this once a week. So healthy, so delicious. Thank you for sharing this!

Zest and juice of two lemons? I don't dare to put that much lemon, lol. I'm making it with zest of 1/2 lemon and juice of 1, we'll see how it turns out. EDIT: it turned out absolutely delicious, thank you for this very healthy and yummy recipe. It was plenty lemony for me with what I put in, although I had only a little over 400 grams of chickpeas to make it with.

Love eating this when I'm in Paros. Now I'm going to make it for myself tomorrow. Brilliant. You explain things so well. ThanksX

Chickpeas are v. good for you and healthy, i ❤ them whether soup or hummus dips. I found Akis channel searching for Zucchini fritters, and could not believe how much Greek food is such a big influence here in Australia. All these yummy foods Akis makes are in the cafe culture here, and popular because they are so healthy, quick to prepare and make, and popular with families too.

Yes! I love chickpeas and use them in various ways in snacks and dishes. This gives me another way to use them. Thank you!

I just finished making and eating this. This was SO DELICIOUS OMG. I could have eaten so much but had to pace myself, haha. So easy and with the easiest ingredients. I had it with some orzo at the side to make it more filling for my weekend lunch as I was so hungry and it was so so delicious. But even without, it is so SO good! By itself it’s really amazing. Especially the dill and the slices of lemon...once you squeeze more as you’re eating only adds this amazing acidic thing to cut through and brings life to every bite. And it’s so creamy without the use of dairy?! And I love me some dairy! Haha. Can’t wait to make this again, and again, and again! Anyway, thanks for this wonderful recipe! Especially during my 4th or 5th week in lockdown, this meal cheered me up and it was so easy and fun making it ☺️

That was amazing how he cooked this dish, he don’t even mention cream or another thickening stuff like another European do!

Chickpeas are supremely nutritious and filling and adapt to many different types of flavouring from different cultures. Most animals, including birds, can have them too which makes them an ideal staple for emergency supplies for people and pets during these uncertain times. Pre-cooked cans and jars are best (in case water is in short supply or if fuel for cooking might be a problem). This recipe is definitely going on my list.

I love how he's left handed too. Everyone who has ever tried to teach me how to cook has struggled with that for some reason. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge

I don't know who's filming this, but you need to show us INSIDE the pot when he's stirring and saying "look at this." Just raise the camera up one foot.

Just in time for Great Lent, thank you!

This stew looks legit, perfect recipe for snowy weather rn

Yiasou Aki I am Greek Cypriot and my wife is Spanish. We have just discovered your recipes and absolutely love them. I have already made your baklava and now I will try your Greek Chickpeas Stew as it looks amazing. Please keep us informed of new recipes although I know you already have hundreds. Nikos

That looks great. Good job, Greeks.

I made it with vegetable stock to make it vegan. SOOO delicious! Thank you Akis!

Oh lovely, my Yiayia used to make this dish, especially throughout the fasting time around Easter - gosh such memories - thank you Akis, I am slowly expanding my Authentic Greek Recipes xx

You Greek God I wish I found you, while I lived in Greece. My favorite place!

This really is beautiful, I made it and it’s unbelievable. One of the best dishes I’ve tasted 👌🏾

Just made it for dinner and everybody loved it, thanks:)!

I’ve followed you for years! I love and make so many of your delicious Recipes! Thank you for sharing your talent and gifts 🙏🏻

I will make this and have it during stay at home for lunches. Greek comfort food will never make you depressed it’ll make you smile 😊 thank you Akis 🇬🇷💙

I was a bit sad this afternoon, then I decided to make this food, and then it was better. Bravo Aki

I'm hooked on red lentil soup, but this looks like a great alternative.

2:34 When he bangs his dagger on the table he looks more like a Spartan warrior about to fight to the death than a chef lol.

i love you akis! love your food and repics much love from israel

Thank you looks delicious. Greetings from Yerevan.

So fun to watch this animated handsome Greek man cook. The dish is secondary.

Made this for a second time today. Gave some to my Dad and Sister and they loved it too! Such a delicious stew!

love you Akis! Are you the Greek God of cooking? I will worship you!

Excellent! Poly orea :) greetings from India!

It looks delicious ❤... i love your recipes, thank you very much ... we fell in love with Athens and your Kitchen Lab ... so we will be back soon to visit the beautiful city again and enjoy your amazing brunch ...Greetings from Vienna ❤❤

You said it! The ingredients are so simple and you won't realize how good this is until it's finished. Now mine is finished and you're spot on. Delicious! Thanks 🙏

I have been watching this video for weeks. I have been so curious as to what it would taste like. There are so few ingredients so I was not expecting much but it smelled so good while it was simmering. OMG!!! SO GOOD!!!! Thank you for this.

OUH YEAH, GREEK RECIPE!! THANKS!!

Im very happy to see you :) and you always make exactly what i like 👌your are my favorit since years ❤️ Greetings from Amsterdam (Holland) ✌️

I made this and added a green bell pepper and 2 potatoes as well. Wonderful dish truly remendous flavour.

Love that you use a lot of veggies and fresh herbs...thankyou, oh, and lots of great tips!

LOL “Don’t be cheapy with chickpea!” Open a cooking school! 🤠🏆💪🏽🕺🏽

I NEED to try this, chickpeas are my favourite legume too! and this looks similarly delicious to Spanish chickpea stew, which is thickened with almonds and olive-oiled bread (and of course Spanish olive oil is the best in the world. haha jk)

This recipe is out of this world! 💫 So lemony 🍋 🍋 🍋, so delicious! Thank you.

I made it today and it's really something special. Hubby put it on the list of our favorite meals. I had to blend a portion for my 3,5 year old and he ate it too as a creamy soup. Just an idea for moms how to make their little ones eat veggies. Thank you very much for this amazing recipe! ❤❤❤

Mr. Lemon and Mrs. Rosemary, lol. Except for chicken stock all sounds good.

Thanks to you, KZfaq algorithm , now I know what I’m going to have for dinner

A confident, charming and highly knowledgable chef!

Love to see him cooking like this T^T such a hardworking wonderful man!

I love this accent. I miss my Greek friends.

Chickpeas? 👍 Great recipe? 👍👍 Excellent presentation? 👍👍👍 This channel? 👍👍👍👍❤️

I made this tonight for my dinner. It was super delicious! I used chick peas that I grew in summer ( save them for special things) Was yummy, didn't have fresh dill, so used dry dill. Will definitely make it again! So simple, nutritious, so delicious!

Beautiful! I love chickpeas, will be trying this stew

"we like the veggies to become sexy”

This is a Greek dish, but we have this is in Turkey, too. Many do not want to admit, however, Turkey and Greece are so similar that it is really difficult to tell the difference sometimes

Just made and ate it with my family! Maaaan it was unbelievably delicious! Everyone just loved it! Super unusual flavors in one dish (celery, chickpeas and lemon) made it so tasty! Thanks for the recipe! Will keep it in my favorite list👍🏻

Just made this for the 1st time. Absolutely delicious lemony, herby, chick pea goodness.

This is so good! I did use vegetable stock though. Nevertheless will definitely make again!

Great looking stew my friend.👊🏻 greetings from England.

this guy is the most wholesome Spartan I've ever seen

I tried this soup the first day I saw it using canned chickpeas and surprisingly it turned out good, or so said my wife. Thank you for this recipe.

Great recipe. Akis and other chefs who associate with him, (won’t name out of respect for Akis’s channel, but you know who they are.) are the best chefs. Something has happened to food over the past decade. Food has become garbage. Everything is over-cooked, seasoned the same and covered with some crappy sauce that makes it all taste the same. Akis and chefs like him take food back to what it should be. He lets the ingredients speak for themselves rather than covering them all with some overtly-potent bull-crap sauce. And i love the use of raw ingredients in some of his reciped. Why the hell do Americans need to grill and fry every single thing in their meal, cook it twice over and cover it in some mayonnaise-based sauce? It gross. People like Akis need to keep this real food alive! I am dark-skinned person who practices Levantine cuisine. Akis’ use of ingredients and his method of preparing and cooking the food is simply proper! Like Akis’ said, “This food is simply the best food!” I suggest Americans try it. Quit cooking everything three-times over and coating it with salt, mayonnaise and sauce. This is real food, where the natural flavor of ingredients and seasoning is brought to fruition. Akis is great chef!

Found my dream man!

I love chickpeas but never knew how to make them tastier. I'm seriously going to try this. Easy recipe too.

Never heard of this dish before ... More a soup then a stew but amazing taste ! thank you !
