A few people have commented about washing the rice. This step is not necessary especially using Cuisine® Parboiled Rice. If Renee was going for a more grainy, less starchy end product it would have been a necessary step to achieve that texture in the dish but that wasn't the case here. As always thank you for watching, we truly appreciate your feedback. 🙏🏾💯

[@sanusoogrim364]

Even so all these rice we get here locally needs to be washed or atleast sort it (for the lack of words) cause it usually have pebbles in the rice.....

[@jackiejay2759]

Cuisine parboil, rice or not the gotta wash yup rice love, poor excuse Cuisine .

[@eatahfood]

No, you don't need to wash rice

[@genesiabeharry3233]

Haaaa wash the rice please people.we are trini who wash rice...

[@salsadancer4965]

I hope none you eat Chinese food. Because they don't wash their rice.

[@aleemellis]

Best pot. Thanks Miss gorgeous.. 🤗

[@user-xr3vs7cv6m]

Very nice! Thank you

[@kyleboodoo2501]

I haven't swallowed saliva like this before besides when I stand waiting in line at subway. I admire how you guys and girls highlight these common dishes as well. The dish looks tasty. I dont understand what seems to be the big issue of the rice not being washed. Any cook would tell you washing the rice can play a integral role in texture of the rice. I cook alot and I do not wash my rice when Im making any sort of mixed rice as well as pelau. A great video and amazing results! Say hi to Renee for me 😊

[@eatahfood]

Thank you for that. A lot of people are accustomed to washing the rice in preparation but they may not fully understand why its done. You are very correct in citing the role it plays in texture. Will definitely deliver the salutations 😁

Am I going to need a whole box of tissues for this one ?? Good to see you're back by the way ... and looking mighty fine too ... your Man must be walking round town with a big grin and a full belly ... all day long.

[@dougiemm]

Might be a good idea to cook using these like Kale, Quinoa this year

[@vfoo234]

Welcome back. Nice and simple dish. I am surprised you did not wash the rice I was always taught to wash it. Not being critical just saying.

[@reneeandrews4802]

V Foo yes I too was taught that way. Just as life traditions change too. Because it’s parboil it’s been processed ie steamed /washed already before we get it so it’s safe to use without washing. But thank you for your comment always appreciate feedback and queries

[@irenesquires7192]

Well done by love it

@@reneeandrews4802 I enjoy watching you. You're very authentic. Your love for cooking is very evident. I love how you get so excited about cooking and sharing Trinidad and Tobago cusine.

[@janelleali47]

Great dish, never had it but it looks delicious. Renee, you should do a throw down with Natasha’s brother Batman. Now that would be the bomb!

[@bigrogers_77]

So you only add salt if needed as per saltiness of the pigtails. What's your method is it just happens to be a bit salty before you added anything? Just learning. Thanks.

[@javeddareat2750]

Parboiled rice doesn't need washing except for the sole purpose of getting rid of some of the starch

[@robertasmith8688]

Going to cook that tomorrow girl friend

[@natashajhinnoo6711]

welcome back

[@lkalideen5069]

My granny put a little bit of golden ray butter.......looks yummy....

[@navinsingh3748]

Omg 🤤🤤🤤

[@lasco82]

Hey, I love your show 🤗 Would love if you list ingredients and quantity before you start to cook it would be super and you can also use it to mention your sponsors 👍

[@eatahfood]

Thanks for the feedback. All ingredients and their wish quantities along with the method are listed on our website. 🙂

[@mariasamlal4866]

So you add coconut milk completely instead of water?

[@dunoripavalan1980]

Looks good but I think chopping the amaranth (spinach) would be a nice lil additional step so the stems wouldn't be falling off the fork... especially if anybody eating has a beard.

[@andreacathyannbasso-mcgill703]

Delicious ...😅

[@ChampdeFleursWellness]

Made it today. Delicious. I’ll take a pic and tag you on ig

[@eatahfood]

Lovely!

[@naty1012]

Renee what is a good side dish to eat with this?

[@eatahfood]

Fresh Cucumbers go great with this.

[@markmaharaj1364]

Plenty ppl talking bout wash rice but when Yuh go KFC and Chinese Yuh feel dem washing anything stuepssssss

[@tracey-annawong8497]

Allyuh doh wash rice? Other than that it looks delicious.

[@dollygyal233]

Was saying the same

[@ijazzboodoo5565]

It's parboiled therefore it doesn't need to be washed. Plus the extra starch adds to the creamy texture of the dish.

[@Trinibadmuzik]

Dont have to wash it because its parboiled .... even doh washing it is good

[@karenayoungchee410]

That is so true. When u don't add the coconut milk. Ppl will know. As well as your Mom

[@AndresBarba22]

I like this dish but i prefer that it dried a bit longer. But a super meal.

[@Trinibadmuzik]

U should open your own restarunt

[@camillesingh8503]

Looks delicious! But I would definitely wash my rice

[@sandraw2956]

I make that and stew chicken

[@natwilliams4508]

Renee what about some baby/toddler versions of some of your dishes?

[@bryghtgyrl]

Add salt last, take the baby's portion out before you add salt and extra pepper. Puree the portion in a hand food grinder. This is how I fed my son as soon as he could eat until I didn't need t to grind his food. This is a very baby toddler dish

[@geetamangalie-jagoo2920]

Really think renee should've used what most trinis use which is dasheen bush. Esp how its supposed to be back to basics.

[@sandy2009-p5t]

Happy Wednesday, I don't eat pork or red meat..is there any other replace of the pork or beef? Thanks Renee.😘

[@eatahfood]

Hi, you can totally omit the meat or use saltfish in it

[@sandy2009-p5t]

@@eatahfood Thank you!😊👍

[@natonie1]

Renee how come you didn’t wash the rice?

[@WeWrite60]

if u cut up the bush leaves it is less stringy...nicely done though

[@squidplummer7610]

Madame 😜buy local

[@juanitafairley3022]

This dish looks delicious, but you need to wash the rice several time before cooking

[@enabissoondath4501]

Wait you didn't wash the rice

[@jasontaylor4448]

You are so pretty
