Thank you for showing that you can have delicious, nutritious meals without meat.

[@Bornsiinner]

Much respect, instead of rice i used Quinoa and it came out freaking amazing.... Thank you for the recipe.

[@keshaking7849]

I was just thing to add Quinoa instead of the rice, I love rice but it doesn't love me.

[@andrealashley3554]

I was just thinking, I don't eat rice.... Good to know. Thanks

[@tashmonford5325]

Thanks Jay for that second option Quinoa! as rice doesn't like me either. Xx

[@deelight41]

A year later but, do you add the uncooked quinoa in at the same point 🤔

[@Bornsiinner]

@@deelight41 yes i added the uncooked Quinoa the same way, and at the same point he added the rice. A year later and i still make this dish.

[@1Widowsson0]

Chris, I have been eating Trini food for 38 years and your recipes make me hungry. You are doing an excellent presentation with your videos. Keep up the good work!

[@killonacat4004]

I see this video is from two years ago but I grew okra this year. Used yams and the sweetness was so satisfying. Changing the world one side dish at a time.

[@amae54]

I made it !!! Turned out good. I added some mushrooms and celery too. First time I ever tasted coconut milk. It’s good . Very rich. I also made some Cajun shrimp .

[@daniej5879]

This was the very first rice I made when I was learning to cook. Didn't come out like this because I forgot to add a few things. I love okra so I added it to the rice. Will try your version for sure. Thanks for sharing.

[@dianajohnson9928]

Love this dish. My stepfather used to cook this regularly and serve it with stewed red snapper, yum.😙😙😙

[@vavajai]

My wife said she never had ochro rice so I looked up the recipe to make it for her. She said it's the best thing she ever ate.

[@seleneali6334]

You always have the most appetizing looking meals. Great job

[@TasteofTrini]

Good stuff as always, Chris! Love how colourful this rice is! Keep the awesome recipes coming!

[@amakaiahezer-iah1867]

[@dustylou1831]

I’ve made this a few times and each time I make it, it gets better. Thank you!

[@aynot321]

[@pattyschmetzer7589]

[@selichavez1]

This is delicious I accidentally used coconut cream instead of milk it was a little sweet but still one of the best rice I've had

[@joanneny8638]

Thank you Chris: Here’s the first place I come to when I’m looking for some good ole Trini/Caribbean dishes. Ochro rice is the most delish.

[@MaryHartTT]

When ever I need to cook something I go to your page first. Its my go to and never fails

[@merlincalago5945]

okra chicken soup so yummy 😊😊😊😊

[@Thee-_-Outlier]

I needed to use some back logged okra, butternut squash and hot peppers from the garden as well as some chicken stock I made cpl days ago. This recipe literally checked every box ingredient wise for me rn. Thanks, I didn't even have to run to the store for this one

[@evelyncole4450]

This rice was so good and I like the fact that its gluten and vegan. I love all your recipes 😍

[@clarity-re3mn]

Thank you for a delicious vegan recipe. One suggestion, for those who really must, you can wash your rice in advance and take time to drain it completely, you'll get the same effect.

[@ggjuice646]

Okra is my favorite. I am definitely going to make this rice. Thanks for the recipe

[@marielaarcev]

I made it and it came very good. Reminding me my beautiful Costa Rica and our Caribbean food. Next time I will add pumpkin. Thank you!

[@dolphinsc1]

The cook always taste his food and gives his meal and rating. It looked fantastic.

[@brendaphillip417]

Hi Chris, love how this came out, I thought the okra would be slimy but i see it wasn't, I'm a vegetable lover and would definitely make this, thanks a lot, love all your cooking shows, great job

[@snrkalu2078]

Chris moma you are z best. Now I am gonna myself look good in the kitchen!!

[@unnikmenon3495]

Superb. I went easy on the coconut milk and delayed adding the okra to when the rice was almost ready. That way I kept Okra King of the dish.

[@gloriawheeler763]

[@DesignCooking]

Amazing....yammy. I'm vegetarian and this recipe is just so goooood.I cooked it today.Thank you!!!!!

[@kater4052]

Being diabetic, used parboiled brown rice it so the other veg wouldn't be cooked to mush (it doesn't make my blood sugar soar like the white jasmine does) and I used sweet potatoes instead of the pumpkin, as that's what I had on hand. This was very tasty; definitely a keeper recipe. Thank you. I love okra.

[@amakaiahezer-iah1867]

WELL FINALLY MAN, THANKS SOOOO VERY MUCH FOR STILL THINKING OF US....

[@goodfoodbasics6456]

Wow... superb rice 😋 I am gonna try definitely

Thank you Chris. This looks really good. You are helping me to connect with my culture. Left Trinidad in the sixties really young and never knew how to cook Trini.

[@Jane-st3ed]

[@suryafarabracke4701]

Bird's eyes pepper,okra with coconut rice..creamy yumm.. This is interesting.Delicious. If you know about screwpine/pandan leaves,put it when cooking the rice and it will become fragrant coconut rice. Oh man..yumm again.

Saffron tip from a middle eastern cook: you can mix a bit of Saffron with some a tiny bit of rose water or normal warm water and add it on top of the cooked rice.

[@inaallen2721]

Looks very delish. I may try this tonight!

[@olivegobin1584]
