Chef Jeremy, thanks for sharing your recipe. This is how I like my pelau to look. Add a few cold slices of zaboca and some cucumbers on the side with this pelau and you're all set.

[@MG007.]

Don't forget Cold Slaw🙂

[@loveconquersall7912]

I am going to try this I hope it tastes like you all

[@msdjadulal]

"Keeps Rice from being too Friendly" I love it. But chef why soo much salt and black pepper? But I must say this video was much better than the others you've done recently. I can consider following this one.

[@cherry-annleacock1835]

Love it, can you do a cow heel soup for me?

[@neter8445]

Pelau on a Sunday 🇹🇹🔥

[@kaym.2854]

of all the pelau tutorial i've seen, your video showed the true the color and texture of a bess pelau. Love the explanations too- especially since the sugar burning process can get tricky. It would've been nice if the camera could've captured the adequate color before adding the chicken, but the steam was a bit of a hindrance. Great tutorial nevertheless. Love me some grainy pelau with good color!

[@inurfaceson9722]

Was the rice cooked beforehand?

[@sadequintall6413]

No water?

[@BlakieTT]

GAHHHHHHHHH DAT LOOK SO GOOD HOMEBOY! But so much salt in that? 😅 Wow.

[@katp9901]

What did you put in with the sugar?

[@englishtea3291]

A lil oil

[@user-my6hm5ey2x]

Excelente receta cocino en un local comida trinitaria el plato fijo siempre es el Pelao pero no le agrego ahuyama porque a muchos locales no les gusta gracias

[@sarahozigi5009]

What did you season the chicken with

[@theamanii8]

You can try a bit of green seasoning, seasoning peppers, and a bit of ketchup!

[@devanharripersad5730]

Salt and pepper mam

[@sarahozigi5009]

green seasoning??? ............YEAH!!!, no one will tell/sell me their recipe......(not even my wife)..........lol

[@sweet_baby_rass6967]

Lmao.

[@tyemeccaalkebulan4425]

But him rice na cook? Dat enough liquid?

[@mel246bim]

No water to cook the rice??

[@WinWin-oi7to]

Chicken steamed and produced water, rice was washed and absorbed water, peas, carrot and pumpkin all have water. And coconut milk has water. All enough water for the amount of rice he used. Cover lid tightly and let it steam to perfection

[@mariadesouza5505]

Chef so no Garlic.... or no seen if you skip it... but nice still..

[@coletted4591]

So no use for the garlic? 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@eltioloco1910]

Good attempt at a basic pelau for the newbie cooks......next episode do a pro chef pelau

[@lizabetx483]

There are plenty people who can't make a basic Pelau. You will be surprised.

[@gicandathomas606]

DELISH!!!!

[@lilly-qh8el]

Hey man dont you add some ketchup to the seasoned chicken😊

[@Shabazzdaking]

He skipped some part. He definitely added more milk or water or precooked the rice

[@camrylwallace6643]

I think he forget the damn garlic

[@debbiejadoo]

Yes he did

[@eltioloco1910]

Was thinking the same thing.....good attempt at a basic pelau

[@shenneleboneo1506]

And the pimento peppers as well... he is trying hard for a redemption after that sada roti and roast tomatoes recipe

Oh so no oil first just the brown sugar

[@kerronvincent6229]

By the time you done you have high blood pressure 😂😂😂 all that salt and black pepper

[@acb7634]

That's the cup them self. That's the reason for washing the rice?? Lollllzzzz

[@LeaveItToChef]

Green seasoning? I dislike the short edited videos that leave out steps

[@bevolubrin28]

Where is the recipe

[@whitkhalifa4409]

It’s in the video description area

[@aurorad4616]

That looks like a whole chicken, not just one pound

[@analisa1664]

Ayee.....this is how to brown your sugar.....lots of vids out recently with a tonne of sugar in the pot and then browning it too little( still too much in this pot for how I like it). Unhealthy and not the traditional way... Maybe it still tastes good? 🤷🏽‍♀️ But this is the right way for me 🙌🏼😊

[@russwriter17]

Can we do an LGBT inclusive one please?

[@skippy1012]

Lol

[@nursejackie6198]

What's that

[@YTChiefCritic]

This is why so many people hate the food (especially meat) in Trinidad and Tobago - they put all this 'chadon beni' seasoning in their meat, so most of their food reeks of this awful flavoring.

[@gicandathomas606]

DELISH!!!!
