The girl just cooking her native food just show some respect I can't believe some of these comments these people are of low vibration nothing good comes from their nasty mouth or they Jeleous or can't cook, it's so nice to see a young woman that can cook all these delicious dishes. You go girl, nasty mouths will always stay as they are Karma.

Hey Arlene, your videos are very good as usual. I do make Chicken pelau, and Cole Slaw, and I love to have it with a few slices of avocado as well. I usually use all the ingredients that you've used plus, some diced pumpkin, carrots, and red and green bell peppers, and into my Cole Slaw, I add shredded carrots, and red and green bell peppers. I love to see my food looking very attractive. By the way, I'm Trinbagonian too, but I don't use much ketchup, lol. I'm trying to watch all your videos to see if I can learn a few things from you, and when I do, you'll surely know. Love and God bless!

Hi there, you said pimento peppers, never saw the fresh ones before. Hope my market has them. For the seasoning you did say thyme? Those are not thyme leaves on the plate, too big. Thyme are tiny little leaves on a thin stalk. You do every thing so cute. I like your presentations.
@trinifooddesigner-arlene46426 жыл бұрын
Hello... you can look for minced pimento peppers in the bottle this is a good sub. Or another flavoring pepper of sorts. Sometimes I've seen the already blended seasoning in the bottle. We have several types of thyme. the one in this video is call big leave thyme or broad leaf thyme.. internationally I've heard it being called Mexican mint. ... thanks for watching and Happy cooking...

@trinifooddesigner-arlene46425 жыл бұрын
Hello. I'm happy you tired this. If it taste a little bitter it's because you let the sugar burn too much... this takes a little practice to get it just right... sometimes a little extra coconut milk and ketchup helps .. but in future don't let the edges get to black better to catch it right at copper brown . Good luck and keep trying .

Sorry, it's a W. African based dish called Benachin/Jollof Rice there. The Africans brought it to T&T. There is a deliberate attempt to 'cleanse' the African contribution to the society in T&T.

Even if it is originally from W. Africa, and it was brought here by us (the Africans) we still had to tailor the ingredients over time to suit the type of local ingredients we have in our environment. I have had Jollof rice and it does not remind me of our local Pelau dish.
