How many servings will this make?
THANK YOU!!!
I'm not Puerto Rican but I grew up in a neighborhood called Sunset Park in Brooklyn, NYC where Boriquas rule the roost. All of Ida's dishes that I've made so far have been beyond tasty. Definitely transports me back to dinner at many an Abuela's household. Her sofrito recipe is my go-to when I want to be reminded of the bold, authentic flavors inherent to Caribbean Latin dishes. Thanks Ida!
Heyy, I grew up in park slope. I was always in sunset park. I miss the food on 5th ave so damn delicious.

💯 Sunset park for sure! 🙌🏽💯
I've made arroz con gandules before and never mastered it because my grandmother passed away before she could teach me, until I came across your page. Now every time I make this my man and my kids eat the entire pot. I have you to thank for that.
This is the ONLY channel I will come to for recipes! Every recipe is so good, and tastes just like my childhood❤️❤️
Literally!!!
AMEN to that!!! Aida is a true Puerto Rican cooking queen!!!!
Has she posted anything lately?
Same
You can tell she knows what she doing . Look at her pots
I made this today and I can tell you that your recipes are like my Abuelas. She passed away and I often said I wish I would've got her recipes. Well I found it lol. Thank You for putting this channel together. You are now my Latina Cooking Mentor :)
Sly Corley Aww how sweet! Glad I could help.
: (
I feel the same way, my grandma passed years ago and I never wrote her recipes down !
yes yes she taught me to cook n stop ordering out I love her:)
THANK YOU FOR THE BLESSING To get exact measurements. Everyone loves it!!!
I LOVE how she checked the PETA website to see that the jamon sazon is accidentically vegan!!! Thank you!!! I came here looking for a vegan arroz con gandules recipe. Cannot wait to make this!♡♡♡♡
Seriously??!!!! I was going to get some but we are a non pork family...this is amazing
@@teedew6274 Unfortunately, when I checked the box in the store, the Jamon sazon is definitely not vegan. It does contain pork. Perhaps when this video was made, it didn't. Im not sure. But the good news is that I've made the rice without it and its just as good!
@@teedew6274 the ham flavoring is supposedly vegan, not the sazon
Still my go to channel when I need help in the kitchen. I am 24, and I have been watching since 2013. The first video I watched was for sofrito , so I could make it for my dad. He was so proud of me. Im glad you still are updating your channel. Favorite cooking channel for sure!
Ms. Is a special occasion because Gandules crops ARE picked this time of the year..and the amount of care and work it takes to pick, shell and soften the gandules...IS a beautiful thing which WE as Ricans..enjoy.. like coffee, lots of work, beautiful flavors,
I made this in addition to using the homemade Sofrito recipe for my family vs making traditional Jamaican rice & peas. #1 it was super easy and #2 my family loved it...my mom is the pickiest eater and she said " you need to make this more often!" Thank you!
I just came across your channel today and I’m sooooo happy!!! My ex was Puerto Rican and I LOVED his grandmothers cooking soooo much. When we broke up I missed her cooking and have tried so many times to make it and fail so bad but you make everything JUST like her! Thank you so much! Never thought I could love a stranger so much lol
Mexican raised in NY/NJ area and learn to eat the finest Puerto Rican flavors. Moved away but introduced my kids to eat your incredible dishes. Every time I want to bring joy to my family. Your my my go to. Love the simplicity and packed flavors.
I’ve made this rice two times and now I am a cooking super star.....to my family at least! Thank you so much!
I love the passion you have for cooking ♡
Made this for Sunday dinner and it was Delicious!!! Family ate it up so fast, I had to make another batch the next day. You sure know how to cook!!!! Thank you.
I was born and raised in the island. I've been living in California for 30 years, only one PR restaurant in 60 miles, one way. I've been starving for Arroz con Gandules, its my favorite dish. Thanks for the video, the only thing I know to make is white rice and Goya kidney beans. (you know, the arroz y avichuelas.) I make that every-other day for me. I can't wait to try your recipe. Thank you for sharing...
I made it this morning. I have been trying to perfect this rice for years and today it came out PERFECT! Thank you so much!
I just made arroz con gandules for the first time using your recipe. It was delicious. Thank you so much for sharing this recipe with us.
I love your videos. I recently move to FL from NYC and with no Cuchifritos around your recipes are a little piece of the Bronx for me. Thanks! Keep the great recipes coming.
I keep making this recipe over and over! I’ve done it with chicken as well ❤️ Thank you for the thorough instructions!!! 👍🏼
I swear by her recipes. Do it exactly as she does, and it comes out perfect!
So I followed this step by step and it came out perfect!!! My fiancé is Puerto Rican and I’m Jamaican/Irish, so I try to make dinners that he’s use to from time to time lol thank you so much!!
I ran into this video and made this rice for my hubby! He was lovin the flavors! Now I can’t stop watching all your videos!
So I finally made it!!!! DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't had Arroz con Gandules since my friends/neighbors/cooks moved. After watching your video I went and I got all the ingredients and made it. I had 3 servings, gave a teaser to my cousin and there's some left for dinner.
Wow!!!! I love it and thank you so much.
I lived in Puerto Rico for 5 years and sweets and beyond has been my best friend while I cooked for my husband. Thank you
I'm American but my boyfriend is from Puerto Rico. I use your recipes for everything I cook. I get compliments from all his family and friends on my cooking. thanks for making your recipes so easy to follow. God bless
yo aprendi a cocinar contigo! no sabes lo que he aprendido & mejorado. super agradecida con tu channel god bless you always 😄
I can’t believe it’s been 2yrs since 1st tried this recipe. It’s still my favorite even tho I’ve memorized it, I still play this vid to cook along with you. Hope you are doing well🙏🏽😊
I love this recipe, its so simple. I chop up a pork chop into small cubes and mix in while cooking sofrito to replace the ham seasoning. Thank you my family loves this.
Making this recipe for the 4th time. So so so delicious and simple. Reminds me of home!
Hi again, I've done this rice 2 times and it is really good! It's easy to do and it's delicious. Thanks you so much!
Your directions are foolproof! Thank you for another great recipe (made your sofrito yesterday).
Thank you so so much. I am in LOVE with how this came out! I just made it tonight and my boyfriend smiled and my 3 year old couldn’t get enough!! I appreciate you!!
It’s amazing how different we all cook!! I use tomatoe sauce and adobo, I also use onion and garlic powder and it’s amazing!!! I will have to try it this way it definitely looks delicious
I want to take this time out to thank you for your recipe video I tried your rice recipe and my rice came out perfect I could cry 😭 it was so delicious 😋 thanks a million 😊 may your hands continue to be blessed as well as your life amen 🙏
Your rice looks amazing at the end! Perfect! Not mushy.
Mine comes out mushy.😁
I can stick it on a wall and make some art!😄
I like the way she makes it so hopefully, I can try it tomorrow. 🤞
I always come back to this recipe since the first time I made it, comes out perfect every time! Thank you
I was born in Cuba and raised in New York in a PR community. The neighbors would bring Arroz con Gandules and Pasteles (My 2 favorite dishes). For the life of me I can't make them but now I am going to make the Arroz con Gandules tomorrow and relive my teen years :). I still need the Pasteles recipe lol.
Thank you so much and you're amazing!
My favorite type of rice mix. Thanks for the vid.
I am so impressed by your techniques and authentic recipes today I have a couple that is moving to Texas. I invited them to have a Puerto Rican meal. It has been a couple of years that I have cooked Puerto Rican meals with my family living away due to their military lives. Almost forgot the favors and how to make it just right! Thank you I cannot for Thanksgiving “love thy neighbors” I plan on welcoming a few new and old neighbors for a Puerto Rican meal. As it is how Puerto Rican’s show they’re love through Food!
I've been following her recipe for years and it comes out finger licking delicious all the time.
Best arroz ever !! Everyone loves it thank you
BEST VIDEO EVER for arroz con gandules!!! I just added a bunch of cilantro and green olives. Tastes just like my mamis.👏👏👏 Thank You.
My grandma used to make this rice all the time for us. I want to start making it too. I love your videos.
Your a life saver I have my husbands parents asking for yellow rice and beans. I visited other videos but most people don't give measurements and even few tell you what you need before hand thank u
Just made this rice for the first time! It's so delicious! Thank you!
I just made this for Christmas Eve dinner and it was a hit! Absolutely delicious 👌
Followed your chicken/beef stew, rice and beans/gandules, and other dishes and you have helped me improve my meals, thank you very much for the information!! You are great and will continue following you!!
Your the best, I'm Puerto Rican, I love your kitchen, how you prepare our delicious latin foods, just like abuela use to make everything..
Being/ 3 sons 7 grands and spending most my young adult life in Hawaii, I lost many of our traditional method of cooking now I'm back full swing because if you, muchas gracias, ! I 💙
I love it so much. I made this too. thanks so much. I'm Mexican but I love Puerto Rican food and now I'm learning more on how to make it cause of your videos.
You don’t know how much you’ve helped . I’m Mexican and this helps me cook my puertorican bf the food he loves
This is my favorite recipe to follow for arroz con gandules! It’s the best truly!
I love her!!! All your recipes has my Puerto Rican Finance in love with me!!! Love you. I will always watch your videos!!!
Thank you so much for this recipe, Ida! I've been enjoying arroz con gandules for years, but always in restaurants. I tried this recipe tonight and followed it exactly, and it's delicious! I did end up using a total of 2 cups water (spoon trick worked!). I also made your from-scratch sofrito recipe prior to making the rice. The clerk at the grocery store told me that aji dulce is currently banned from import into the US, so I bought a bag of Sweeties (tiny sweet bell peppers) and he said that would work. The aroma is fantastic. :) Thanks again, I'm definitely going to try more of your recipes this weekend.
I followed your recipes my Arroz con Gandules always turns out PERFECT !!! THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH !! You are truly blessing!! I pretty followed all your cooking. I do have a tip. I used bacon fat instead of vegetable oil or canola oil. The bacon fat makes it even more TASTY and DELICIOUS 😋. Everything is good with bacon 🥓❤️
i Just Want You To Know That i Love Your Videos.. Before i Came Across Your Videos i Would Cook Rice And Pray it Came out Well Cooked. The Moment i Cooked Watching Your Video My Rice Came Out So Perfect and Now it Comes Out Great.! Thank You So Much.!!
I made this tonight and it was amazing.. everyone loved it.
I made your recipe for the rice and peas, I never heard of the spoon trick after putting in the water I did it and it stood up. I tasted the liquid before adding the rice it taste delicious. I can't wait for it to be done. I have the chicken in the oven now. Your recipe if course for the pollo asado. I made it before. Dinner is going to be bomb. Thanks for sharing your recipes
Thank you for the recipe it is delicious and has become a household favorite! I am not Puerto Rican but this is now my go to rice recipe..it is a crowd pleaser 😃
She's the cook for me--excellent instructions, clean and doesn't eat out of her pots or utensils she is using. Marvelous!!!!
uses a separate clean separate spoon to taste the pot. that is the way I was taught. need to use a "clean washed spoon" every time you you taste for seasoning. unless you are cooking it for your individual self. imagine the cook using the dirty spoon over & over.
...spoon that she uses to taste.
I can eat this rice ALONE as a meal 😩You’re teaching me how to cook ❤️ Thank you !
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I made this for a birthday memorial dinner we had for my father and it came out perfect and was delicious.
You know, i am all American. in my younger days my friends would invite me to their house for some rice and beans, P.R. style. The smell was AMAZING!!! thru the years i've picked up on ingredients here and there to finally hear my kids say, mom that was delicious. I reviewed your video and prepared my rice the exact same way. OMG, there was the smell i've been missing all this time! I was missing the oregano and the cumin. Thank you soooo much. Now i have to figure out how to slow the kids down while they are eating it. Oh, and btw, i've watched other videos of arroz con gandules? Not the same, and goodness, to much work. hehe. thanks again.
Wow... it’s been a long time that I’ve been trying to make Spanish rice this way. I have never been able to until I followed ur recipe. I added an extra can of beans (2 cans total), an extra tablespoon of sofrito and extra teaspoon of oregano. Still used the 2 cups of rice and only needed 1 1/2 cups of water. It came out delicious. Now I have the recipe thank god!
Btw... I used the green “Culantro cooking base” (softito) by GOYA. Didn’t taste any different. ❤️ Thank you!
I loved when you did the spoon trick! My grandma always does it when she makes her arroz con gandules! Love your channel!!
+Maritza Jimenez (Cupcake3410) Thank you!
Sweets and Beyond I don’t know about the spoon trick. Can you tell me what I should be looking for. Once I put the spoon in the pot? I’m learning
I finally got it right! you kept it short and sweet. I like how you started by stating what ingredients you were using and how much. Thank you!
Thank you for this recipe. I love making rice and rice dishes. :)
Ida thank you so much for this recipe! My mom's 100% puerto rican and she's a great cook, but her gandules recipe.. is not very good. I really love arroz con gandules wheneber i eat it anywhere else than her's, so im mad grateful for this. can't wait to try it out! besos!!
you have brought back my childhood dishes..Now I make them and give the recipes to my daughter...Thank you Ida...God bless
Ali Rivera Aww how sweet! Blessings to you as well!
I remember having olives, potatoes and salt pork in my rice. I believe no 2 Puerto Ricans make this the same. That's ok it's all good thanks for your videos
My go to recipe always. Delicious and authentic!
Hummm 🥰🥰🥰 millions dollar recipes , I love your cooking thank you so so much for sharing bless you and your familly 😁

Me himagino ese arroz con unos pasteles hechos por usted que los hace sabrosos. Gracias por compartir tus resetas. Dios la bendiga.
Thanks. Great recipe. My family loves it
This is the only recipe for rice that came out delicious. You are the best for rice.
Your camera person is awesome! Steady and and keeps the food in view. 👌👍
Tomeka Taylor He's my awesome hubby! Thank you!
OMG! I made this for dinner and it was perfect. I’m from the Bronx and I miss my Puerto Rican restaurants.. There are no Puerto Rican restaurant in Alabama or any other ethic foods here. I also made your Sofrito. My family loved it. Thank you
Thank you for this recipe and the exact measurements! My rice was perfect!!
I just made this and I also made a whole chicken and Maduros with brown sugar (all your recipes ) and my family loved it ! Thank you so much I can't wait to try more of your recipes. Keep the videos coming.

😙
Such great recipe! I’ve tried others and this is simple and tastes so good!
AGAIN PURE PERFECTION..THANKS...
This looks super good!!!! I love your recipes
I make mine the same but I add olives and tomato sauce ,but I'm sure it's delicious.i love your videos from one borinquena to another.
Arroz con gandules is a big hit cuz its da bomb. When I met my hubby and he invited me over to dinner his mom made this and I was like wow, this is bomb. I like your recipe. I'm going to follow this way. It's alot less complicated than what's on the Goya can. When I asked my in-law how it's made that's what she referred me to even though I know she don't make it like that. I'm just gonna have to look for your recipes for now on. I made small batch of sofrito also came out wonderful. Thanks for sharing the knowledge. I can eat a whole pot of this stuff.
I love all of your videos!! I’m from Chicago & I have high standards for Puerto Rican food & you fulfill all of that plus more! Thank you!
Holy crap. I can NEVER make decent arroz con gandules (I'm dominican but I've never learned) and this was seriously amazing. I added goya tomato sauce, alittle more salt and made a sofrito similar to yours. It was awesome. Seriously thank you for this!
OMG, thank you SO MUCH! I love, love, love your videos! They are so helpful to this PR I still learning how to cook PR food! My arroz con gandules always comes out watery, bland or both, and I always use the Goya recipe from the can. I'm going to try your recipe for sofrito because mine comes out differently every time. When I ask my mom for help, she just says, "Taste it. What does it need?" 🙄 So helpful lol My grandmother lives in NYC though, and my parents didn't teach me Spanish, so it's very difficult to communicate with her now that she's 90.
Hola Senora Ida, I just want to let you that your recipe was a success. The rice was exactly as you described, so easy to make and bursting with flavor. I viewed many vids and they all seemed like the one. But there was one difference. The “ Spoon Trick” , I’ve seen and heard my Moms describe it more than once. I knew then your recipe was the one. My family thoroughly enjoyed it and I intend to learn more. Thank you again , Dios de Bendiga!!!!
I just made this with Pernil Al Horno and Manduros. And it was a hit in my home. Thank you once again :)
This is my fave recipe for Arroz Con Gandules so far. Instead of the packaged ham seasoning I like to use bacon.
Que Rico! My mouth was watering the whole time 🤣 This dish is enjoyed throughout the Caribbean with a little variation to the ingredients. Some people eat this every day believe it or not! Muchas gracias..
Love your recipes. Thank you!!!
I followed your instructions and it turned out so so good! Thank you, big hug. I'm weak because of MS and cooking is hard for me. But your recipe was so simple to follow that I want to cook all the time now. Lol
hello there...love this recipe I made it for the time and my husband and I love it..thanks for the recipe keep them coming..;-)
