I’m puertorrican born, this is a really sweet lady taking her time & energy to share her recipes , and for all those jerks that only know how criticized her can go to hell !!
Keep up the good work with your good videos sweet lady ,
God bless you for being so brave & sharing your delicious recipes.
Freddie Rivera You’re right in that she took the time to make this video, however, this is not authentic Arroz con gandules. If you’re going to show others how to cook Puerto Rican food, pls do it the right way. This is a slap to our ancestors. So in reference to hell, you better be careful because it is not some fake place it is REAL and unless you’re born again you’re at a very high risk at going there. Read the Word of God and seek Jesus before it’s too late because tomorrow is not promised.
Monica Ortiz I noticed somethings she didn't do that didn't make it "authentic", like wash the rice or added stuff that may not seemed "authentic", but it's not like she poured only tomato sauce into the pot with the rice and water, then you can say that's not how you make it. Do you go on these videos and criticize and judge people for adding a dash of cumin or not making achiote oil? Now before you go telling people to about being born again and about hell, you can't start being hateful because she doesn't make the way your family makes it. Like it's a sin. Like Paul said about people hate will hate those who do good. Maybe you should go back and read the word instead of getting upset about how she's making arroz con gandules, but then trying to witness to somebody at the same time. "What defiles a man is not what goes in them, but what comes out of them" Lord have mercy!
Freddie Rivera ....I agree!
That looks soooooo delicious I'm going to make it for Thanksgiving 😊
People l are mean....
My ex's mama made this all the time. Don't miss the man, MISS HIS MAMA AND HER COOKING!
Don't make HIS LOSS, your LOSS. I suggest you call up mamma and make yourself a plate of rice date 😂🤣
That's funny. LOL
same.
I have a similar tale and that is the TRUTH.
Like "Hey, yea no I don't want to talk to you I'm married with kids, but um...what's your mom's number? I'm craving ceviche."😄
You not wrong about this lmao
Hi everyone! This is my Titi Carmen! Her rice is absolutely amazing. I used to spend my weekends with her and she would feed me her delicious recipe from when I was a child. Haven’t seen her in so long, I miss her
Hi Vannessa, I was wondering would you happen to know how to make this for 2-3 people? Like how much of each ingredient can I use for smaller parties
@@ajacolon577 hey aja one of everything should be fine except you would put two cups of water to one cup of rice..this should be enough for about 4 ppl..have a great day🙏😉
what type of rice? short grain? parboiled?
@@blueswadeshoes4012 yes short grain should be fine 👍
Hey! I really like this video. I checked out the channel, but there was only one other video. Does she have another channel?
I’m a chef of twenty years and this recipe is spot on. Every time I make party rice , I use this technique.
Quick question, so is the 1/2 gallon of water enough for 16 cups of rice??
Sarai Lozano yes because you add the liquids from everything else in the cans, and the sauce
@@pinkstarlove3237 if you add too much water the rice becomes mushy, the rice will also cook from the steam, needs to be on a low flame, and i don't stir more than once and i use a big fork
@@pinkstarlove3237 you always know a perfect balance of rice by inserting a spoon in the middle of the pot. If it stands by itself, you have the perfect balance of rice and water.
@@pinkstarlove3237 i stir the sauce right upto you add the rice. You stir one time until the water is gone. Turn rice once and set to simmer and cover. Wait 15 to 20 min on simmer and check rice. Do not over stir rice. Leave it alone and walk away. It creates a mushy mess by over stirring it.
I wish I had never found this page. Because of you and your Recipe, I know have a dilema. My co-workers make me make the rice for every activity. This is the very best arroz con gandules recipe I have ever had in my life and I was just kidding, I’m grateful to you for posting it and changing my life. I thought all that oil is too much but it’s not. I did not want to change anything you suggested and I am so happy I didn’t. This is the second year using your recipe throughout the the year. I was so scared it would be gone because I wrote it down but could not find it. Glad your still here. Please show us how to make other things for parties. I cook pretty good but I don’t know how change my recipes to bigger portions. God bless you. Thanks again Mija!!!!
A pot of this with a Pernil and some empanadas!! Heaven!!!!!!!!!
🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
Empanadas??? Lol no Pasteles or pastallios!!! 🇵🇷🇵🇷🙌
WEPA!!!!!!!!
Dont forget the Alcapurria .. Rice and Gondules and Alcapurria , takes me back to my childhood back in NY . Good Times
And some Goya picante sauce…dayum I’m in heaven
An old friend from high school pass this recipe down to me. I love it. Made it for my African husband, once he seen the green olives he thought i didnt know how to cook. Every culture has a party rice. For the hoildays i make Puerto party rice, African party rice, and Asian shrimp fried rice. Hey im just a black girl that loves to cook. Great video :)
them olives set it off, im adding 2 jars lol
😂🤣🤣🤣🤣a friend of mine pass this recipe to me😂😂😂😂all you got to do was CZcams it is not like super- uncle Ben's recepe
❤️
Oh my goodness, I wish I had your recipe book lol
Yasss! It’s all rooted as one culture, just a diaspora of traditions! Ashe’
Carmen, my daughter-in-law's parents are from Puerto Rico and the first time I had her mom's Arroz Con Gandules I was hooked and I wanted the recipe. Problem is, I don't speak Puerto Rican. Problem-solved thanks to your wonderful and thorough video. I have to follow recipes so I took the liberty of typing out your instructions below. I hope you do more authentic Puerto Rican videos in the future.

This recipe is the bomb my boyfriend is Puerto Rican and I have been learning the culture and I adore it and the food 🇵🇷🐸😎
WEPAAAAA
Lmao
Same here girl. My fiancé is Puerto Rican and I'm trying to learn to cook his favorite food
Girlfriend I too enjoy learning about different cultures and their foods. This entire world is one big melting pot and I,as a proud big beautiful black woman am grateful and humble enough to be apart of it.
Me too Eso !
@G G why does it matter lmfao
You made me cry...growing up in the Bronx, eating the same thing every day, the salsa music..beautiful video
I'm cooking this as we speak. It's my very first time cooking it. My family had asked me to make it for 16 people. My kitchen has never been so hectic. Lol. I'm making this rice along with pollo guisado, sweet fried plantains, and dark red kidney beans.
Big shout out to my Puerto Rican sista for putting up this video and sharing her artistry. Thanks so much!
The background song reminds me so much of when my mother used to listen to it , and cook. The holidays are not the same without her😢
Sorry for your loss mama, hugs and happy memories/cooking.
@@KittyLumpkinsss +a up iaq9aos JFK sik8p²1ieie993i hi 1iqq
aww los siento mamita keep your head up
The name of this song is "El Día de Suerte." It was recorded on Willie Colon's album "Lo Mato" in1973. The sonero is the late great Hector Lavoe. ¡Que viva la musica!
You know when moms are cooking and listening to music that food is gonna come out delicious 😆
I know it must of been hard for you to slowdown enough to provide exact instruction and measurements on ingredients and steps that you are use to doing naturally. THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to share this recipe! It looks amazing 🙌🏾
I lost my mom almost 3 years ago and I will forever regret not taking the time to learn her recipe for this. I will be asking my dad soon but his just doesn't come out like my mama's would. I came to CZcams looking for a fellow Boriqua to show me and I am SO happy I found you! I will be going to the store today to collect everything. I'm excited! I hope it comes close to my mom's cause lord knows I miss everything about her including her arroz con gandules! Thank you for being a stand in mom for those of us missing our mother's and their cooking.😊 This video is great.
This is a beautiful recipe. I am not Puerto Rican but I went there on vacation once. I will never forget the big pot of rice and beans on the stove and the generosity of the people.
For those of us Puerto Ricans who don't live in Puerto Rico, New York or Florida, you may find the Culantro in Chinese Markets which they call Ngo Gai. I always make homemade Sofrito for my cooking. The music in the background makes me wish I could turn back time so I can be in Puerto Rico before so many family members passed away and have one more holiday together. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. God Bless.
Cilantro is in almost every grocery store or produce store in America.
@@indiadiggs629 cilantro is everywhere but Culantro or recao as some people call it is mostly found in Chinese markets.
what’s your recipes for home made sofrito ??
Hey there could you please tell me what the type of oil she uses?
BE AWARE ! THAT THE VIDEO has poor lighting. Dark and you can bearly see the video
my mother was a master at this rice and she made a lot more than just this iconic party rice. She unfortunately passed due to liver cancer and I just need to taste her cooking again, thank you for this video!
I'm Puertoriquen born in new Jersey. lived many years in Puerto Rico., everyone adds different ingredients and makes it different but it still taste delicious. I like to cover my rice with green banana leaves and than put the top on it. it gives it great flavor. I have seen it done like she does it and it still taste delicious. everyone just put different ingredients.
I too am PR and in New Jersey, what she did is what you call "flavor", everyone especially Puerto Ricans have variations, but I guarantee that rice was delicious! This is the way true Puerto Ricans do it, with "flavorful" ingredients, so I have no idea why anyone would say anything bad about her recipe. Lets see them post a video and do it better!
Chuck Cetta Hi! her recipe is good to feed many people. I know this puertoriquen lady she adds so many things to her rice OMG its so good. she makes a lot to feed many. I make mines more simple. but love it. yes I was born and raised in Newark, New Jersey.
Elizabeth Ortiz perfect
I'm going to cover mine with banana leaves now that just sounds delicious. Now I just need to know how to make sufrito.
Elizabeth Ortiz I love the banana leave idea thanks for the tip. I'm going to try it.😋
My Mom use's Recao for sofrito and pork cut into cubes in her recipe,I just learned the recipe my My is 95 I had to get the recipe before it was to late thank God Shes still with us, God Bless you.
I'm so glad I grew up in Brooklyn, NYC.
This rice is so freakin good.
I use to help my ex's Grandmother make this, when I was younger.
My mouth is watering right now.
😋
It's about 1 am and I've made the mistake of binging videos and now I'm hungry😭When can I come over, mama? Lol
Angelina Savini so crazy because I do the exact same thing. 🤣😂🤣 now I’m Starving
Angelina Savini when can I come over?
I'm Mexican and grew up knowing Mexican, tex mex, BBQ, and country food. But damn, we need some Puerto Ricans around here cuz y'alls food looks bomb!
I am Chicana and I love Puerto Rican Rice : ) Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. Love the music too!
4 years later and I still use this video to make my rice. THANK YOU
I am mixed. Puerto Rican & black and I never learned my real fathers family recipe. My husband & I have made this recipe step by step with her twice. We love this recipe. It taste amazing! Say what you want. We love it!! And so does everyone else that taste it. Winning!
I GREW UP IN A PUERTO RICAN HOOD HERE IN NORTH PHILLY I LOVE ARROZ CON GANDULES!
@ BURNETT SR., STERLING, awww! that was Nice, as a NuyoRican [ New York Puerto Rican ] Thank You... PEACE!
BURNETT SR., STERLING BADLANDZ!!!!
Me too !!! Raised in Philly! Born in Puerto Rico! This is how my mami makes rice !!
BURNETT SR., STERLING lol I was raised in a Puerto Rican area in NP
Kensington
This is just how my godmother makes hers!! Literally the best rice I’ve ever had. Haven’t found anything that tastes like it at restaurants.
Dear Carmen: Thank you so much for sharing your recipe with so many people! It is the BEST ever, especially for those of us who enjoy learning authentic cooking. It would such a treat to find more of your delicious authentic puertorican cooking recipes. Happy New Year to you and your loved ones
In my family I haven’t met two people who make their rice exactly the same, and follow the same EXACT recipe. I bet if y’all didn’t see the process or the ingredients she put in her rice and she bought it to your party se lo jampean, se chupan los dedos y no dejan ni el pegao.
TheGlam Mam
I agree with you 100% .
I've had all types of Party rice and no 1 makes it the same. she Definitely has her own style & ways of making it .
Most ppl don't know what ppl put in the party rice we just know it has to be the right *color *flavor and *consistency, after that we don't ask NO QUESTIONS!🤗
😍😍😍😍😂😍😍😍😍😍 yesss👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
lmfaooo
Shit.. I live in south Florida and if I dont make it myself I can't find a place who makes it..not even in the FROZEN isle of the Spanish section..lol..
Why so much hate? She has all the main ingredients, technique, and most importantly the love to make this amazing dish!!!
What I like about this woman she explain the way to do it the most important thing she's very clean keep it up.
I have used this recipe twice and it is a hit! My family loves it, my kids eat it, my American friends are obsessed. Thank you for sharing❤️❤️❤️
I just made this and it came out perfect. Lining the top with aluminum foil then placing the lip literally steam the rice to perfection. Thank you so much!
I remember my mom & Aunts with there Crinkly Aluminum Foil, a must have in a Puerto Rican Kitchen! Her Rice looks like my mom's, made differently, but in the end, looks the same!
This woman took the time to show us HER recipe of PR rice. EVERYONE does it their own way.. MANY people keeps the juices of everything they use for their rice and that's their choice.. people here talking about "heart attacks" and "diabetes" like they NEVER EVER ate a damn hotdog, burger, taco, RED meat, Pork, eggs, cake, candy, soda, etc in their damn life!! what hypocrates! smh.. with the ones giving rude comments- welllll lets see YOUR video with YOUR version of "PR Rice"! and just an FYI- alot of PR dishes are heavy and full of carbs.. we cook to satisfy a hungry belly with dishes full of FLAVOR..
Melisa Torr
STHU NOBODY ASK FOR YOUR OPINION IDIOT
Full belly happy heart! Us latinos need our dose of “heart attack” too lord knows I get tired of eating grass and chicken breast my God 😂
BRAVO!!!
IS TIME TO START BRAVING OUT AND HAVE THE GUTS TO SAY IT LIKE IT IS.
LOVE YOUR COMMENT ♥️❤️❤️
Rosa Colon nigga shut the fuck up
TY. Ive been trying to perfect Spanish rice and this is one of many videos I've watched that seems the best put together. I'm African American but I love cooking Spanish food because I love the cooking ethnicity of the Spanish race, so TY again for sharing this recipe. I will be cooking this tonight but instead of the ham I will be using pork chops and a little hot Italian sausages.😁
Noooooo why would you do that to the rice? Lol Italian sausage is for italian dishes. And pork chops? Both of those will completely change the taste of the dish. Btw im also african american (dating a puerto rican woman). Im also a professiinal chef and like encouraging creativity but certain dishes, like this one, are best traditionally made. Good luck either way
That is what Dominicans call a "locrio" ...I make a rice with spicy Italian sausage and mixed veggies...I "decase the sausage though ...its very good
Johnetta Allen. this is not Spanish rice, is from Porto rico U.S.
Ok well its good anyways.😁
Johnetta Allen
There's other ways to do, it this is the worst video i have seen. You only need one pot and is made so much easy then what this lady is showing and you suppose to mix all the ingredients together not in different pots
I promise when I go visit Jamaica I'm bringing 2 of them pots back
I made this recipe following her directions and absolutely loved it. It's a family favorite now. Best rice ever better than the restaurant ones.
She is awesome. Took her time in explaining everything. My 1st time making this I will use her recipe. 🙂
How do I find the actual recipe?
The cycle of abuse is here in these comments, abuse I know all to well growing up with highly critical Puerto Rican parents. I'm proud to say I've broken that cycle, you can too! Carmen Felix your recipe looks amazing Merry Christmas. ☺ 💕 👍
XOXOX XOXOX
There a way to say something w/o being mean. You can kindly say how you make it and refrain from criticizing the individual who put time and effort into "her" you tube channel.I agree. The unnecessary abuse is evident. I enjoyed the video and will attempt following Ms. Feliz's recipe. Very thorough video. Thank you.
I agree, I never liked being round those who are highly criticizing other’s it is of very bad taste I stay away from that, now I do take in constructive criticism and take in account whom it comes from.
Very I always want the recipe for that rice thanks with all that flavor wow put it in the oven at 350f without the lid cause the heat will burn it just with the foil please try it ThANKS
I want to bite the screen
Stay positive. Thank you Lord for having food.
I’ve used this recipe a few times already and I love it! Everyone always tells me how much they love it! Thank you for this. 🙂
I made this rice exactly how you did it and it came out AMAZING! Thank you so much for this!
Every Puerto Rican knows that everyone makes their rice different
For me I prefer to use Goya Olives, and no ham whatsoever.
Every Puerto Rican cook makes everything different from the others, and that’s a good thing. That’s why there is so much good Puerto Rican food. Fearless cooks!
Cajun food is very similar in that every family has their own version of classic dishes.
Siiiiiiii! 👏🏼😇
I'm black and I know that
The same as Every Italians mother makes "the best sauce" LOL
I Think we all adapt what we grew up with in different ways.
I will most definitely be fixing this today for dinner. I think she did a damn good job by putting this video together. Thank You Carmen for sharing your recipe. Your rice looks delicious.
I just made your rice and it is absolutely delicious and full of flavor. I cut the recipe in half because I wanted to try it out before making it for a party. Came out perfect. Thank you so much for explaining all the spices and herbs you use. I tried to make Arroz con Gandules about 8 years ago and it was tasteless and dry; now thanks to you, I am a success. You are a wonderful teacher. And I like your Sofrito recipe so much better than the Goya frozen. Please keep sharing.
OMG looks like jollof ! I love it! And every other culture has that “green seasoning” besides Americans. Makes alot of difference.
Tu receta es mi favorita! Mi hijo le fascinó! Lo hice para Thanksgiving 2017-Great success. Yes it was enough para 25 personas. Todos los vecinos estaban que cocinas tan rico! Ahora me falta tu pernil, alcapurrias, and coquito. Yummy 🤤 Mil Gracias 😊
That rice came out perfect. Everybody cooks different. I bet it was Deliciousio
Dora would've spelled it correctly..
noit didn't ..if you look you can see raw bits of rice all through it because she stirred it too much and it cooked uneven...rice steams itself...you let the water evaporate uncovered...then you stir ONCE and lower heat and cover...
there was ZERO "raw" rice bits. Get your eyes checked and watch the end of the video again. I see nothing but perfect delicious looking rice. I wish I could dive right thru the screen into that rice it looked so f-ing great!
Newly Awakened you need your eyes checked that lumpy clumpy mogollao mess looks nasty but it's whatever. I can cook. I actually make a party pot of rice that lasts ten minutes at parties. I don't pretend to be a chef and load my food up with ten pounds of msg so it can have flavor. I've given directions already. She overstirred. That lets out all the steam and you get overcooked and raw rice because the stirring gives you hot and cold spots. But she would know that if she actually knew how to cook.
Well let's see your channel with a video with 82,000 views on how to make something. All is see is playlists of other ppl stuff and you here bitching and tearing someone apart. This vid has over 1400 likes and only 117 thumbs down so she must be doing something right! I stand by my statements. That rice looks lit and I'd love to go to one of her parties!
As a Jamaican married to a Puerto Rican I'm always looking for tips and tricks to further perfect my arroz game so thank you!
Thank you so much for posting this. I cried halfway through it. It reminds me of my mother. I'm going to make it this weekend for my family. ❤❤
I’ll be making this rice every weekend from now on!!! Thank you
I love this kind of food. I fell in love with this food when I came to Florida.I got some recipes from my friends.
My Grandmother Was Puerto Rican She
Always Made This Rice For The Holidays
In Puerto Rico For The Whole Family
Thank You! To The Lady To Take
Time To Make Her Recipes
I can't watch this video without getting seriously hungry. I can almost taste it! Thank you soooo much for sharing.
Thank you so much for being so precise on instructions on “how” to make this delicious rice 😋
Also for not rushing! Thank you, God bless you ❤️
My rice came out amazing!!! Brings me back to my childhood!!! Thank you!
I wish I had seen this video before I tried this other “authentic” Puerto Rican rice, you explained it perfectly!!! I lived in Puerto Rico during high school and this was my favorite dish!!! You nailed it, it’s perfect!!!!!!Thank you!!!
Every 4 years later, I still watch this video to help me cook this rice!
I really like this recipe! Although I prefer making my own achiote oil for the color and banana leaves for the cooking process this method works as well! There are a million ways to make rice and I have just added your recipe to my bag of tricks. Thanks for sharing your time with us!
I do too
Im watching this now as an adult and remembering my childhood when my late uncle used to make this for every holiday. Bless you for uploading this i didnt get to learn from him how to make it but thankfully i get to learn from you

My Abuela, taught my wife how to make Arroz Con Gandules. She's not Puerto Rican, but makes it just as good as my Abuela, for New Years with Pernil Of course.
The music in the background is soooo nostalgic. My mom always playing music like this when making food☺️☺️
I really liked the Arrroz con Gandules Party Rice thank You
Thank you so much for sharing!. I'm French and Native American. No one in my family makes this but my cousin. I love going to her parties. I've learned to make a pretty good jag. I can't wait to make my own party rice.
This looks delicious! I can’t imagine why anyone would criticize this lovely woman and fantastic recipe! Thank you for sharing, Carmen!
My mom passed last year she made this every holiday or family celebration. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
Emilio0587 what is the name of the pot she used to cook the rice in?? I believe it starts with a C but can’t remember the name
Looks and sounds amazing!!!! I love new recipes of various cultures!!!!! So excited to make this!!!! Thank you for all your hard work and sharing!!!
Thank you for breaking this down! Trying it tonight!! Looks great! Much appreciated!!
Thank you so much for taking time to list ingredients for Party size! I’ve always made it in a small Calderon and now this will be my dish to pass at all events! Only one small change is My papi always put the mini sausages on top and we all would fight for them!Thanks for your time!
Thank you for showing.
Awesome!!!
Looks delicious
Carmen Felix folks on my job are going to think I really know how to cook, when I bring this to the potluck. Thanks for taking the time to share your recipes with all of us.💯🌞🌴👠🍖🙏
I absolutely loveeee rice the way Puerto Ricans make it especially yellow rice yaaassss hunty
This is one of my absolute favorite Puerto Rican dishes in the whole world Ms. Carmen.
I’m definitely doing this recipe since I’m in charge of making the rice for Thanksgiving. I’ve never made rice for so many people. Thanks for the recipe 😃
Looks perfect. I don't cook like this but it looks like it turned out perfect. Everyone does things differently.
I followed this recipe to a T and it came out perfectly. Thank you so much! I usually only make small batches and I was nervous but your video helped me so much. I appreciate it!!!
Carmen - so glad I found this video. Watching you cook is so comforting to me and brings me back to my childhood. Can’t wait to try this recipe! 💚💚💚
I just made this rice for Thanksgiving 2019, and it was a hit! Super delicious, and everyone loved it, thank you for your recipe! This will be my go to recipe from now on!
man everything about this recipe made me smile.... love it love it love it love it!!!!
Love the recipe going to try it out for the first time. I’m Mexican but my husband is Puerto Rican. So I definitely have to master this!!
I love it!! I have a recipe given to me by a friend of my Moms. It was his Mom a family recipe all the way from Puerto Rico.. Fabulous .. I always use Goya even when I am making any kind of dish, it is the best. Even in my tilapia or chicken.. Yum!!
Omg 😂 people commenting on this nice lady using too much salt or oil ,c'mon doesn't know that almost alot of puerterican food consist of using alot of those ingredients, I have a big boriqua fam and they all fat with high blood pressure, but I love the way she made her arroz con gandules because that's my favorite rice and I make it similar to her minus ham,thank you for sharing your recipe rice turned out amazing 😍😘
Yeah mama, exactly! (10 mo later lol0
They dont know Puerto Rican culture...because they would know Puerto Rican dont miss do salt and their food me amazing
They all fat with high BP lorrddddd
Did people se how much she was making she was making 16 cups of rice so you need more seasoning so it would be flavorful
LMBO 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The use of aluminum foil to keep steam in is exactly what I use, Yeah a kindred spirit. My Mom uses the plaintain oja which is good too. but the aluminum makes it so much more convenient to do the turning. Gracias Carmen for sharing.
Thank you mommy for taking the time to show your wonderful yummy rice to us all. 🇵🇷
Looks absolutely incredibly delicious!!! I can not wait to try it. Thank you for uploading the recipe!! 🙏🏼
Carmen, this is one of the best videos I've seen especially for more than 5 people. The type of preparation for a big gathering that I'm used to. I like the way you do it. Especially combining everything into one pot first and mix. The ingredients, I've seen some in my family make it the same way you do. Great video! God bless you!
picantesworld77 damn homeboy you look like Fat Joe used to. You give me the whole pot of rice your damn self can't you? I know I would put a hurting on it and I'm only a little over a hundred pounds LOL
picantesworld77 i felt that was the smartest way to teach someone
love it! I have to try this! I live in a Jamaican home where we eat alot of red beans and rice.
People need to remember that this is for a PARTY!!! There is not too much time for the DYS details. When I host for a lot of people, this is exactly what I do. Good job, and thank you for sharing this recipe that has been a staple in EVERY Latino gathering for as long as I've been alive. Reminds me of growing up as a kid. Love it!!!
I'm mexican and love arroz con gandules. I'm definitely going to try this recipe step by step. Thank you so much for taking your time to record your steps and uploading. God Bless
I sauté everything in the pot of the rice all the flavor stay in that pot, and I only mix once n leave it for about half hour and rice is perfectly cook.
Anna Gonzalez when do you mix? Do you boil it uncovered until the water evaporates then mix it and cover it??
usadrones I mix when rice get a little dry, lower heat, cover n leave it alone for an half hour.
Hi Anna, Not to take anything away from Carmen in the video, but I too would do it your way and I've been a chef for more than 40 years. It was an interesting video to see how other people cook though. I also thought the Cumin was too little to make a difference. Rab
Anna Gonzalez that's what I do I'm from ecuador and we call it Moro and yes that's the way to go because all those yum flavors stay in that pot... Ima sooo hungryyy lol
A variation on a theme. Everyone has their own way. Hers looked good, though!
Love how the music starts when the rice hits the pan like "it's a party now!"
I remember I went to Florida and I got invited to a Puerto Rican Thanksgiving wow my first time eating Puerto Rican rice arroz con gandules I fell in love with it. I'm from Cali I need to go back to Florida eat me some more Puerto Rican food !
i go go the PR every 2 years to see my abuelita (my friends grandma but she claims me as hers) and she never lets us watch her make her food because she’s very precise. but luckily this year i got to watch her make this and i ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT- also your voice is so calming 🤧♥️
I have become very interested in Puerto Rican foods. Thanks for the video. Looks great.
I am not Latino, but i love to cook, and i am really good at it. Anyway, i have lots of latin friends-when i followed this recipie for your 'party rice' my friends LOVED it! They said it tasted restaurant style, it was SO good. It made me very proud and i have U to thank 8-)
I’m not Puerto Rican. Went there on vacation last year. Fell in love with the food and the flavors. I started making this for family and friend gatherings. They love it. Thank you for such a wonderful recipe and a great video.
