Your cook-up rice looks great. I usually add the liquid (water and coconut milk) earlier on to get the veggies and rice boiling. But I see that you wanted to season the rice before adding the liquids. I will try your method. Thanks for sharing.

Is the marry man poke still good even if it changes it’s color in the freezer, blackish? Thanks for sharing!

[@Sharmins_Kitchen]

Yes, hun it’s very rich in flavour. Its like mint if you freeze it, it will turn blackish but that’s just that some things tends to oxidize when frozen. Fine thyme when frozen changes it’s colour too✌️❤️🇬🇾🇨🇦

[@beverleylondon3770]

I suggest you use the blackeye peas water that you boiled it in instead of using plain water. Aĺl the nutrients of the peas is in the water. Eliminate the casareep thats for pepperpot and probably stews. Just try that method and you will see the diffetence

[@bebetannu6481]

I agree with Beverley!

You should reuse the peas water and boil the peas with onions, garlic,thyme and pimento peppers...it helps soak the seasonings and flavors well!!!!

What u use to get the coconut milk

[@Sharmins_Kitchen]

Martin Stewart I have a Omega Juicer that I used to juice the coconut. If you are interested in getting one let me know and I will send you the link. If not get the fresh coconut break it and take it out of the shells and cut it in small pieces and blend it in some water. A food processor can work too but you will have to squeeze the milk out after. Please let me know if you have more questions ✌️❤️

[@martinstewart6513]

Send the link for the juicer

[@Sharmins_Kitchen]

Martin Stewart amzn.to/3alXI7z it’s called the Omega juicer there are a few different kinds but they are all good and can do so much.

[@reshmajagdeo8122]

I make my cook-up rice like this way sometimes but i don't add butternut squash only carrot, thyme, celery,married man poke,onion,garlic,lots of wiri wiri pepper i do add the cook-up rice season,casreep pure thick casreep not the brown sugar one i add any spinach and black eye or kidney bean i usually do can beans...

Reza M you know that I always make extra for you. I just started to add peppers to my dishes. Never used to cook with it when the kids were little. Sometimes when I use the boil peppers only me and hubby would eat it✌️❤️

[@100AMBUS]

Ok I am a 71 year old Guyanese and I can’t ever remember having chicken in cookup… my mom and grandma used beef/salt beef/and pig tails….. but to each his own…

[@Sharmins_Kitchen]

Welcome to my channel and thank you for your well experienced comments. I also love salted beef cook up but I don’t eat pork. The people who didn’t eat beef and pork used to make theirs with chicken and some fried fish on top. I really love cook up because there is so much you can do with it. Have a wonderful weekend and hope to see you again ✌️❤️💯🇬🇾🇨🇦

[@ashleyjaglall9129]

So no oil?

[@Sharmins_Kitchen]

That’s correct, the chicken usually give out some oil. If you are using any kind of meat like chicken breast, beef or meat without fat then you can add some oil in the pot before frying up the meat. Awesome question ✌️❤️

[@annjoan3861]

Why pour out the water from the black eye peas that would colour the food

Three things i have done differently this time were..(1) adding cookup seasoning (2) adding butternut squash,(3) And I think the casereep made an impact too. But anyways, I was happy to find out ( from you) about the butternut. Becuz I still have a load of butternut squash from my last summer garden. One other way to use them. Thanks and cheers
