If this video didn't have Baião de Dois I would've been devastated! Thanks Beryl for always featuring amazing Brazilian dishes on the channel

[@vitorkk328]

I was rooting so hard!

[@MatheusVS123]

I was expecting feijoada, but baião makes more sense

[@renavasconcelos]

yeah, I was hoping for that hahahah 💜

[@WeatherStone]

@@MatheusVS123 well, technically, feijoada with rice are two dishes together, on a single dish, yep, Baião de Dois

[@cryotankexpansion]

Queijo de Coalho comes in sticks so we can grill them in barbecues. It's a very popular barbecue treat. You could also add it to Baião de Dois after quickly toasting the squares in an air fryer, as they add a bit of crunch to the dish. And if you cut them even smaller, they get even crunchier! I love it that way!

[@alexandrahavasi6210]

Cut them smaller? You mean like cheese croutons? 😍

[@cryotankexpansion]

@alexandrahavasi6210 yup

[@lucasfrizo1482]

Exactly, who gave this instructions and forgot fry the cheese separetely???

[@danielayfernandez]

I read rice and beans and as a Brazilian run to watch the video and you did not disappoint me.

[@pukasonqo895]

Hi Beryl, Liliana here just to say I am so glad you liked the tacu tacu, it looked really good! Thank you for letting me share some Peruvian food with you (and you viewers), gracias y hasta pronto!

[@ydbetan]

You were so sweet in the video, I hope your dad is better ❤

[@Locomaid]

Beryl, use more liquid (you can add water to it) and boil the liquid in a pot next to your risotto. Adding very hot liquid will help with the cooking time and make stirring easier. Salute!

[@amyofthewood2578]

This is excellent advice, and you can also use a kettle if you have one!

[@xonyxia]

[@sevenandthelittlestmew]

@@amyofthewood2578I never thought of that, but what a great idea!

[@Crazy5exycurvy]

Yes, this is what I do ❤

[@Zippish]

Yeeesss this is the way! I always have a pot of stock boiling next to my risotto for easy access, the fact that it's already hot when it gets added makes all the difference.

[@definitelynotafox6262]

i haven't cooked in days due to depression, but i got rice and beans at home and you gave me some ideas :) i'll probably have lunch today! yay! thank you beryl :)

Wish you the best ❤

[@adulthoodisamyth]

Lots of good risotto advice in the comments already. Beryl, I thiiiiink it might be time for you to be brave and curious as always and tackle the risotto topic again this year. It is such an easy, humble, elegant, versatile, rewarding dish and it might even enter your dinner rotation once you figured it out. Would really love that for you. You will have all of our support, I am sure of it! Keep up the excellent work.

It was a beautiful slice of Italian History, that Christian provided us. I love that.

[@telebubba5527]

Indeed. And rice is perfect for Italians, he doesn't have to worry about his citizenship. But if he starts using potatoes, then its a different matter. I have yet to hear about an Italian potato dish. Mmmm.... maybe a good question for Pasta Grammar🤔🤨

@@telebubba5527 we have frico, gnocchi, potato and octopus salad, pizzoccheri alla valtellinese, potato gateau, pasta e patate, riso patate e cozze, and many more. We still don't eat as many potatoes as our neighbours in the north though, and we probably eat them as a side rather than having them as a main dish.

[@Jayjay-tb6yo]

When you shaped the tacu tacu with your hand I laughed because it’s something I honestly would’ve done lol. But just a tip, we don’t use plain beans, it’s already prepared beans like a stew. The liquid from the bean “stew” when mixed with the rice forms a kind of dough, so when you fry it in the pan it’s easier to shape once it forms a crust. Also try to use one side of pan. If you look at more videos of this recipe you’ll see the technique. And lastly don’t worry about it falling apart because it’s not as easy it seems to flip unless you’re experienced. You did really well overall! Thank you for including Tacu Tacu. 🥰🥰🥰

[@pixiegoblin]

Greetings from Hato Rey, Puerto Rico! Arroz con gandules, as made traditionally at home, food shacks and restaurants does.not.use coconut milk - it’s made with tomato sauce!! While sofrito can be used, the standard is Recaíto, a blended mix of Culantro, cubanelle peppers, sweet ají peppers, onion, and garlic (different kinds of oregano subspecies and cilantro are optional). Also you might be able to find dried Gandules as toor in Indian markets and the culantro in Vietnamese stores as ngo gai. Adding chorizo is not part of the basic recipe, but I use it sometimes and it *is* delicious. I look forward to trying this fusion recipe with the milk! 😄🤩😋

[@Chic.Geek75]

Hey I was from Hato Rey as well! Que chevere

[@pixiegoblin]

@@Chic.Geek75Acho que cool!!

[@bloodoblivion787]

For that i came to the comments some of the steps where not really traditional ingridients us in arroz con gandules but still looks delicious anyway and would try lol.

[@theknittingmt]

I was going to say the same thing. My family has never put coconut milk or sausage in ours

[@samiscool4223]

exactly, I've lived in Puerto Rico all my life and never heard of coconut milk and hot sauce in arroz con gandules

[@xCheeky]

I kept saying to myself "If Beryl still lives in NYC... she better include arroz con guandules!" haha but I honestly never seen it made that way. We do add meat to ours, but we use Dominican longanista - so good! But that coconut milk makes me want to try the recipe. Great video.

[@nathaliediaz6189]

Im Dominican and I have seen it made with coconut milk but i consider it a different version and dont add meat cuz we pair it with fish or seafood.

[@renrams]

as someone from the northeast of Brazil (Ceará state) it’s so cool to see you make a traditional dish from here!

[@Nikunikuniku583]

Hey Beryl, cool video as always. I have an idea for a new video. Microwave meals. so many student in college, people living frugally, people who travel or move a lot, nomadic people, people living in vans, and kids who can't cook without parents but can use microwaves all use microwave meals. i think this would be a unique idea for you to try and it does not need extra prep like fermented food around the world would take. Much love. - Aditi

[@sofiaalface]

On my last moving in I had to cook without a stove for a month and that time I really learnt cooking with the microwave the next level 😂

[@DruggiePlays]

We are Brazilian and rice and beans are our fuel to continue in this country

[@janice7618]

21:51 the sofrito you needed was the green one, and most people use a ham steak chopped up. If you want to make sofrito fresh, it’s equal amounts of garlic, onion, ajicito (sweet peppers), cilantro, recao (culantro/sawtooth coriander), and cubanelle peppers. ALSO, the olives used are specifically “alcaparrado” olives it’s olives, pimentos and capers.

[@YoubetheCook]

I agree.

[@jeffpagan7735]

With arroz con gandules, I guess some use coconut milk. It's really more of a Dominican thing. No hot sauce. The olives need little red peppers and the sofrito needs to be green. Some make it, but you can buy it. Making sofrito is a pain.

[@pixiegoblin]

I was taught to cook by Silent Generation abuelas and cook traditionally (Valdelluli’s book annotated by my grandma). Never in the history of ever have I heard of Boricua arroz con gandules having coconut anything! Also, it doesn’t go with hot sauce, but with pique criollo! BTW, making pique at home is pretty easy an extra-eemly yummy and I totally recommend it. We’ve done both the vinegar ones and the one that uses fermented pineapples with great success!

[@chanydenisse926]

The rice is also still a little too wet. I think it was too much liquid, or she didn't let it dry enough.

[@johnsperka2253]

Love the rice love the beans! Just think how much better America would be if we all switched to beans and rice!

[@RottenlyMoodyChild]

That exasperated "oh, risotto" 😭🤣 I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Christian talks in such detail and with such passion about the history of that dish. Felt like a history lesson. Was really fascinating. As well as Debillee's amazing explanation of her grandmother's recipe. "... into something that's extraordinary, it's more than just food. It is a story of history, culture and connection that's passed through generations and shared with others as an act of love." ❤️ that was really beautiful. I can already tell I'm gonna love Tacu Tacu. All those ingredients combined make for a perfect sweet and savoury combo. Xoi Dua Den is 100% being made ASAP. Never heard of it, but its sounds absolutely perfect in taste and texture. I can't wait 🤤 I love rice. I love beans. I love rice and beans. Thanks for another wonderful video, Beryl and crew 💚

[@julianamoitinho84]

Try to grill the queijo coalho and drizzle a little bit of molasses on top! It’s heavenly!!!

[@davidcox3076]

These look so good. During the pandemic, I was working in a grocery warehouse. We had a lot of bags of rice and dry beans come in. Not only are they a complete protein, but very affordable as well.

[@LitVolWashCounty]

I also use the cover of the pan for making risotto instead of stirring so much (still adding the liquid in stages), and I don't constantly stir polenta. An Italian housewife told me it wasn't necessary...it was a way to keep Italian husbands busy "helping" in the kitchen!😊

[@MurielsAnimatedStories]

Hi Beryl, I've been following you for quite a while though rarely if ever commenting. I love how you use food dishes to connect people all over the world. I saw how you were struggling with the risotto, which is a dish I regularly make. I'm not Italian (I'm Belgian), but I find it a very easy dish to make. Your pan was quite large; I would have used a higher pot (preferably with a thick bottom). Add a decent amount of olive oil, add an onion (or shallot) and let it melt, then add in the rice (I prefer carnaroli). On a medium to low heat, let the rice become translucent, then add in about 1/4 or 1/3 of the broth (hot or hold doesn't matter). Cover the pot with a lid!!! Just let time do the work. Stir from time to time and when the rice has absorbed the liquid, add some more. I use a ratio of 200 gr of rice to 600 ml of broth. Hope this helps ❤

[@silviatalevi]

The stock needs to be warm, otherwise stop the cooking of the rice. For the rest it’s quite accurate.

[@andersonic]

I'm grateful I learned about Hoppin' John for New Years because, even if it doesn't bring me luck, I found out black eyed peas are delicious.

[@ArcaneLuxian]

Im not sure if you've done a quinoa episode but I'd watch that

[@donnamarsh3474]

I love rice and beans! Nice too see these different variations from around the world. ❤

[@STdoubleDs]

The pleading with the risotto is very relatable lol

[@ingquisitive]

This was a very interesting episode! I have had a few of these dishes before and you can never go wrong with the combo, beans and rice. As a Puerto Rican I have never had arroz con gandules in the style that was featured here. We normally go for a less wet version in my house, but I may try it with coconut milk next time. It is always nice to see and contemplate alternate versions of things we know. The one thing I wanted to put out there, though is that annatto is not African, it comes from a tree native to the Americas.

[@WizMuffin]

Absolute perfect timing! I just opened youtube to search for new beans recipes and here we are :D thank you Beryl!

[@theheckwithit]

My mothers Arroz con gandules is inadvertently vegan, she never used coconut milk, meat, lard, or onions and it always came out on top, even non Puerto Rican I feed it to has their mind blown at this dish.

[@johannaperez80]

Can we have the recipe ?? 🙏🙏🙏

[@jaminwaite3867]

I’ve made it several times too as a vegan-even in the Instant Pot 😅

[@yeseima1977]

I’m puertorrican and to me it was to wet for my taste. I like more fluffy and loose. My mom make it totally vegan no meat or animal fat. But full of flavor with puertorrican sofrito: onion, garlic, Cubanel peppers,ají dulce, cilantro y recao leaves and achote oil for the color. 😋and never throw the liquid of the gandules it have so much flavor. But I will try this version as it have coconut milk on it and I am curious to see how it taste.

[@coffeeshopfit]

I would also like a recipe if you have one!

[@kadikaado]

Beryl: This cheese is often made in barbecues. Grill them, toast them over some sort of open flame, even the stove. The best place to eat queijo coalho is at the beach,

[@JR-xw8ut]

Thanks for the beautiful acknowledgement of Eora Country Liliana. 14:56

Hi beryl, You should try a congolese dish called Madesu. It’s eaten in both Congo with a thick tomato and white beans sauce. You add rice and beef usually.

[@gabystringer2056]

Hi Beryl, You should try a very common dish in Suriname 🇸🇷 called Bruinen Bonen met Rijst. My mother made it for us almost weekly and it is still a staple for me now.

[@IsaFrediano]

I have never added bell peppers to Baião de Dois, but I guess it wouldn't be bad! The dried salted beef "carne seca" is a bit more difficult to work with, but I think it makes the dish even more delicious in addition to the sausage. Also, pro tip: grilling the little cubes of coalho cheese until golden brown before adding to the dish makes it pop!

[@acel32rcb]

Next time, I hope you can try Ginataang Munggo from the Philippines! It's a simple mix of mung beans, glutinous rice, coconut milk, and sugar. It's a bit similar to the Vietnamese dish. It's sweet, unlike most of the dishes featured which are savory.

[@PauloHenrique-spell]

This is amazing! Looks delicious, about the brazilian cheese you picked up you can grill so it'll have a crunchy layer and it's a perfect cheese to eat along with barbecue you can grill it with the meat, veggies, it's amazing for rice dishes or even salad or farofa... 😁

[@krisrowan]

We have red beans and rice as a side at every holiday to remind us of the time when that was all we could afford. We also eat it a lot on Monday's cause that's when everyone eats it here, lol.

If you're doing this theme again, Khao Neow Tua Dum (lit. Sticky rice and black beans) might be worth making. It's a traditional Thai soupy dessert. It's interesting to see the Vietnamese dish in this episode. I think they are similar in some ways. But the Thai dish is DEFINITELY a dessert and I can see the Vietnamese one walking the sweet/svaory line.

[@calmo14]

i was waiting for you to show the culantro with the gandules! we use it a lot in our house. i was told it’s used for cooking and then cilantro is used for garnish. it tastes so much like cilantro but still slightly different. in our dominican-american household we call it recao 🇩🇴 also i was waiting for you to reference having the aji amarillo paste left in your pantry from your previous peruvian dish 😍 🇵🇪

[@BerylShereshewsky]

Haha ONG I’ve had that for a while it’s a staple in my fridge now others things have come and gone yet the ají remains

[@HiSummerWasHere]

So without the cheese, the Baião de Dois is VERY similar to what we in the Deep South call “hoppin’ John.” My grandmother would have cooked black eyed peas (or field peas) with onion and bell pepper and either a ham bone or chopped ham leftover or some sort of smoked pork sausage, and we probably would have eaten that over rice. The leftovers would be mixed together and put away and when you take the dish out the next day, the mixture is Hoppin’ John! Some people also add stewed tomatoes, maybe in with the beans, but we never did that. It was just the black eyed peas (and the stuff added to them during cooking) and the white rice.

[@jaminwaite3867]

When I saw the dish in the intro, I thought it would be red beans and rice which is basically the same thing

[@HiSummerWasHere]

Deliciousss love this episode!!! 😍 For the alcohol to deglaze, like you said, my rule of thumb is when you can't smell the alcohol as much anymore 😄 !! When you smell the beautiful wine aromas without the alcohol poking through your nostrils you're good 😆 Also you should try small navy beans or cannellini in risotto, I think it's so lovely and a great extra protein + doesn't overpower the other ingredients.

[@Wheelchairspeeder]

Happy New Year Beryl... here's a tip for cooking beans ..make sure you pick through it to make sure you have no rocks or pebbles.. You can pre soak them your beans in salt water for about an hour..and after you drain them if you boil them in fresh saltwater with some chicken broth..like a cup of chicken broth.. I'm from Texas and cook rice and beans quite often...you can use cajun sausage or chorizo..we boil pinto beans with salt pork and ham hock..or smoked neckbones if we have them.. but it also depends on the type of beans you use since each have different cook times..but thats a good tip for things like pintos or navy or mayacoba beans

Thanks for this video! Tried a modified version of the Baião de Dois, and it was super tasty! I had never tried field peas before and took some hunting to find dried, but they are really good, and will cook this again! (Word to the wise, don't assume you have hallumi in the fridge and don't buy it, then use queso fresca as a poor substitute) I would note that in your instructions, you mention that you potentially could soak the field peas for as little as 2 hours, but I did closer to 4, and still had to cook for an hour to lose the crunchiness. Thanks for the introduction to a great dish, and look forward to trying again with the right cheese! ;-p

One more thing about the Risotto (it's RisoTTo, not risoato): It is truly a labour of love, but it's so marvellous when it comes together finally. It's definitely something the "Nonna" (Grandma) would make because the nonnas have the time and the patience.

I am Puerto Rican born and raised in Puerto Rico and my mum and grandmother never used Sazón Goya at home. That is anathema to my mother, more than anyone. She never uses any seasoning that she has not made herself and let me tell you the food does not taste the same. However I will try the coconut milk with the rice. I love the idea of using it. But not the pique, I am not a fan. However, I do like the originality, I think every household has their own recipe in Puerto Rico. lol Overall, I loved your observations for every dish you made. Great video.

[@aivylotus4583]

This video is perfectly timed for me. We have accumulated so many different beans in our pantry, I was looking for something to do with them.

Great special. I love rice and beans. I usually make a basic version. I can't wait to spread my wings a bit. By the way, by definition, sausage is meat that is salted. Sausage, is salt cured meat. This is to make it last long after the harvesting time. In Spanish, it is called salchicha. Sal = salt.

[@Taitsu]

I was thinking of a rice and beans dish from Japan and the first one that came to mind was ohagi, which is a traditional sweet of rice filled with red bean paste. If you like red bean, you should definitely give it a try! 🇯🇵 (Though personally i prefer zunda instead which is edamame paste!)
