How to make puerto Rican red beans

As soon as I hear the birds in the background, i knew this recipe was going to be legit. Reminded me of my childhood growing up in The Bronx. Thank you!

he added he was single like it was a seasoning or something im fukin dead over here 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@joelvega2508]

@Tom Solis no, he added single like he was a SINGLE DAD. You act like the man was trying to get in her pants. How else would you state a comment implying youre a father with a daughter and no mother around, ill wait..........goofy ass. Mans a single dad trying to learn to cook to feed his child. Youre hella ignorant.

[@louierosario1501]

Sorry for your loss

[@rosehernandez329]

I’ve been making red beans in sauce for years but I make it very different than you do. I always sauté chopped onions and garlic in olive oil with a little salt, then I add the canned red beans the entire can, tomato sauce, adobo, sazon, cumin, oregano, homemade sofrito, cilantro and black pepper. Sometimes I’ll add potatoes, green peppers, and olives or corn. This is the way I was taught, but it goes to show that this dish can be made in different ways.

[@GigisRecipes]

It sounds delicious the way you make it as well I like to hear different ways people cook🤗

[@aliayeesha]

Can I ask your recipe for sofrito? I am not Puerto Rican but would love to make these rice and beans

[@cidneyoliver4706]

Hola chica! You absolutely did that young lady. As several of your subscribers stated below; you can achieve the same results, while cooking authentic dishes differently. No one recipe is better than the other. It's all about the heart and passion you put into cooking each meal.🥰👏🏽💃🏽

[@GigisRecipes]

[@TFGcine]

This came out really good. I didn't have any olives in my fridge but I'll use it next time. Thanks for sharing.

[@anamalave9320]

Greetings! I'm Puerto Rican, but I guess everybody has different ways of making beans. In addition to potatoes, I add pieces of cooking ham, and Calabasa. The Calabasa which is Pumpkin makes the beans heavy and with the ham is delicious.

[@GigisRecipes]

Hello, yes everyone does it differently but that way with Calabasas is delicious as well🤗

[@anamalave9320]

I'm sorry I forgot to mention that if you use Cubitos knor, they are very salty, you don't need to use Adobo, since they are both salty your beans might come out salty, but like I mention before its to your liking.

[@GigisRecipes]

@@anamalave9320 Yes it depends what ingredients your adding and how much water you added but when I make my beans there not salty at all there delicious 😋

The pumpkin definitely adds such a delicious flavor! I’m Puerto Rican and Dominican, and my Dominican half of the family uses the pumpkin or sweet potatoes. Soooo delicious

Thank you for sharing this. I used to attend a church that was 99% Puerto Rican. I used to get invited to many different house to eat after church. My favorite side dish was these red beans and rice. Yesterday I was in the Goya section of our grocery store and I bought a few cans of red beans, Aodobo with Pepper, Some Sofito Ponce, and sazon. When I got home I said, I don't know how to make that stuff, So thank you for clearing it up for me. Now I need to get a couple more items and this will become a favorite dish again. I can tell that this is exactly the way they made it also. The Gringo :o))

I'm P.R. and this is almost exactly how I make mine however, when I told my sisters I use canned beans, they clutched their pearls and informed me that I should be using fresh beans instead. They're right of course but because it's just two of us, I continue to use canned. Still, I always look forward to their versions with fresh beans soaked overnight. I too always add cilantro, it gives it an authentic Latin flavor.

I love the many ways to cook this ,i'm half Puerto Rican and half Italian and love all foods in both, but its so funny how Italians have a dish pasta and beans called Pasta Fazool, and every family makes it different, my mom didn't like the exact Italian version so she Puertoricanized it and till this day my whole family loves my moms version. the odd thing is my dad was Italian so the old ladies taught her many Italian dishes and style of cooking ,which she rocked better then any Italian chef, BUT!, she couldn't cook Puerto Rican food to save her life. Both of her parents were so Puerto Rican from Myaguez and didn't speak English, but grandma TiTi, made me and all my siblings and cousins LOVE PR Food. a favorite is Pasteles and have never tasted any as good as my Abuela! and all the many foods she taught everyone of her Granchildren to love. Enough about me ,I like your simple recipe and the fact that you show an option of draining the beans but adding back the flavor through water and the bullion, good tip. Gonna try your Recipe. Thank you and keep cooking girl.
