Thanks for including Instant Pot recipes for Latin dishes, it's hard to find recipes for everyday meals. I enjoyed watching your Ropa Vieja Instant Pot video. Could it be used for your Cilantro Lime Chicken recipe?

[@MrFitzgerald2004]

I just made this for my Dominican husband and he loved it. I doubled the recipe and it worked out great

[@anawills7825]

Thanks so much! to share this Moro de guandules I wAs braking my head how to make In my instant pot, I was searching in KZbin but I didn’t see nobody make like you or our Dominican style. I suppose to make for thanksgiving, that is what usually do Moro de guandules. Pls make more Hispanics Dominican meals like pernil, carne guisada, pollo guisado, rotisserie chicken, pollo frito, chuletas fritas, I will never finish. I just got my instant pot duo to make faster meal, without making so much mess. The instant pot is the answer. I will waiting for more instant pot surprise meals. Thanks again Chef Zee for today.

In college I was introduced to ALL types of Hispanic foods and this weekend I had some mofongo🤤It brought back all my old cravings. This is exactly what I need to try next. I'm praying you have an vegetarian air fryer mofongo recipe..off to search now🧐

[@kathybravo6488]

Gracias por tu video, me fue muy útil y desde ya una nueva suscriptora desde Punta Cana, gracias por compartir recetas dominicanas de forma fáciles de hacer pero con igual sazón

[@helenavalentine9718]

My family is from Barbados, so no tomato paste in our pigeon peas and rice but I like the idea of freeing up a burner! Will definitely try this with some Bajan tweaks. My family must have this and mac and cheese or there will be trouble! Thanks so much.

[@TheLuzy18]

I have been making this nonstop since u shared this…. My hubby will say babe can u pls make that 5min bomba rice!!!!!!! It’s seriously so good!!!!

[@SabrinaJackson-zy7vm]

Thank you , for sharing this recipe. I have followed some of your previous recipes that turned out amazing.❤

[@ivisvalentine122]

Omgggg delish!! This recipe is banging!

[@angelsong4104]

Hi Chef Zee! I love moro de guandules and I love that you’ve made an instapot version 😍 For the rice in this recipe, is it washed/rinsed? It looked pretty dry going in, I’m Team Wash your rice lmao 🤣 but would it make it too mushy if I did that for this recipe?

[@fairy274]

I was wondering the same thing lol

[@yuo305]

Always rinse & drain your rice with cold water.

[@miguelravelo4523]

Any suggestions or thoughts on making it with coconut milk as well? A lot of Dominicans make the moro de gandules con coco so I was wondering what the ratio would be for that using the instant pot.

[@myrna5540]

I have to get an instant pot, thank you for sharing your recipe. You make everything so easy to do. Now in my house PERNIL, and especially for me pastels de yuca, yummalicious.

[@xoapplejacksxo]

Another recipe that doesn’t disappoint! Made this yesterday and it was delicious!

[@roxanvasilik]

Yes, I’m excited to try this on the insta post. Would it work for Moro de habichuelas negras? Would love to see you try locrio in the insta pot too :)

[@jessicacorrea342]

Chef Zee, I was just trying to make this recipe and my ninja foodi (on pressure cook high) keeps saying Add Water. What would you suggest I do?

[@cookingwitheandv7977]

We love Spanish foods. I miss making it. Great job. Looks delicious I know it tasted that way.

[@Chefzeecooks]

Thank you 😋 It's super easy to make!

[@SevySev7]

I’ve tried this twice and my insta will display burn. Idk what I’m doing wrong :(

[@ravenmoonchild7036]

Yup me too! Because on the video she said a one to one ratio of water to rice! But her description says 2 1/2 cups of water! I wish she would've said that on the video!

[@G3O.On3]

La dura! 💪🏽🇩🇴

[@SONZOFGUNZ37]

Chef Zee the bomb 💣

[@Chefzeecooks]

Thank you !!!

[@FirstWePlan]

This looks amazing! I love Moro De Guandules! 😀 Do you have any Macaroni salad recipes?

[@Chefzeecooks]

Yes I do!!! I actually shared the recipe for my macaroni salad a few years ago. If you search for them they will pop right up!

[@fitnova_]

This is my go to. Such a quick aand perfect dish Thannk uuuu

[@er6333]

I’ve used the frozen guandules. So good!

[@katherinearce-payano4927]

First off, I have to say I love your channel. Me being Peruvian married to a Dominican, it’s nice to give him some meals that he grew up eating. Now, I have two questions. 1- if I want to double the recipe, do I use the same time on the Instapot? 2- when measuring the rice and water, do you use the same measuring cup? And if so, is it the dry or the wet measuring cup?

[@jerseydevil3799]

Looks soooo good. U make it look so easy. Ha. Thank u

[@Chefzeecooks]

You’re welcome!

[@jessicamagictuber2716]

Hoy hice uno asi con una receta tuya gracias

[@Chefzeecooks]

A la orden! Me alegro que le gusto!

[@drfinest08901]

I'm Dominican and I'm super late to this channel!! But I will say her food is truly Dominican. I hate to say this because her food isn't officially Dominican but it's Dominican

[@Chefzeecooks]

My goal is show people traditional and modern ways of making Dominican recipes so you’ll definitely see tweaks here and there. I’d also like to note that different households cook differently and no two cooks will ever cook the same. I try to highlight all of the main ingredients that will give it that classic Dominican flavor. Lastly, I’m half Cuban 🇨🇺 and that also influences my cooking 🥰

[@drfinest08901]

@@Chefzeecooks I agree I used to love how my mom and her sist used to competed with there version of Dominican food in the end. We all won

[@Chefzeecooks]

Haha those have to have been the best days!

[@casajessa]

I made this and it came out yummy! A little undercooked but now I know to cook it longer…. I was wondering can you do a fusion of arroz con gandules y arroz con pollo? I think this combo will taste yummy since the flavor profile is similar. Thanks for the consideration.

[@godson103]

Pasteles is a must

[@GenerationYoga]

Amazing! Looks delicioso!

[@ev5793]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Does the cook time change if we cut the recipe in half?

[@JT-sb9uz]

Amazing, can you make candied yams please

[@Chefzeecooks]

I LOVE candied yams!

[@vanessaprag9875]

Thank you chef zee!!!!

[@klakiti02]

I've been making moro for a while now on my Instant Pot but it never came out just right. I'll try your recipe!!

[@Chefzeecooks]

Try it and let me know what you think !

[@anaovalle3260]

Looks delicious

[@Paya11550]

I followed your recipe but on the stove and came out fantastic

[@foodlover8078]

Thank you , I’m supposed to make this next week. 😊

[@SShev]

I use my pressure cooker to make rice all the time and it comes out good. Nice to see we do it the same way which means I must be doing something right lol. I use a homemade sofrito rather than the diced onion and peppers. The only difference is the slow release. I have to try that method.

[@maribelblanco1901]

How long do you cook it then?

[@Girasoles]

Hey chef, can you make a playlist with your instant pot recipes?

[@emmanuelgomez7805]

I’m not sure why, but when I made it, my Instant Pot went into the “burn” setting. It seems there wasn’t enough water in the pot. I used the measurements you described so I’m wondering where I went wrong Chef Zee. Any recommendations?

[@emmanuelgomez7805]

I made the dish again and again my instant pot went into the “burn setting”. I noticed that when you closed the lid on your dish, you had a lot more water in the pot than I did. Your dish seemed to have more water laying on top like whereas mine had a drier consistency to everything. Are the portions you listed correct?

[@ElleBeeFilms]

@@emmanuelgomez7805 Same thing happened to me on two separate attempts. I also used the same 1:1 water ratio but still got the burn setting. I left the instant pot alone and once it cooled off a bit it started again then when into burn setting again on both attempts. however, when I opened the lid the rice was done perfectly both times. The only fix I found is to use the rice button (I have the IP-DUO which has a rice button in the top right.) That function cooks the rice on low pressure for 12 min. I've used it 2x and it goes through the entire function, no burn setting, and no stress! Moro turns out perfectly!!!

[@LorensJ]

@@ElleBeeFilms Thank you for sharing this because I have the same issue. I’m trying your method today ❤

[@LorensJ]

@@ElleBeeFilms Not only did this method work but it made ConCon for those of you who cannot do without lol, Thank you Elle

[@LifeIsMessyImLearningAsIGrow]

I love your videos and I especially love your instant pot recipe. Your presentation is easy to follow. I’m so happy I found your channel. You are a talented creator. I also make you tube cooking videos. Id love learning from each other!

[@dantediego]

i love this channel! can we get a link to the direct recipe in text so we can print it out and also your website needs a rice category. enough of my nit picking, thank you for teaching me how to cook these fire dishes! lol

[@Chefzeecooks]

Great idea! I'm in the process of revamping my website so I appreciate the feedback! Thank you.

[@felacedeno3402]

Thx for the tip.. I have a Big family so I have a ? Would it be the same amount of time on the pressure cooker for 4,5,or 6 cups of rice?

[@jeannewesly1723]

Hoy 31 de Diciembre lo voy a tratar .... Te aviso , deseame suerte... Me gusta la voz pausada que usas!! Suerte! Gracias.

Can I use minced garlic instead?

Haha I just told my brother to make this for thanksgiving

[@Chefzeecooks]

That's awesome! i hope that you enjoy!

[@MsTreats33]

Hola Made this last night came out perfect THANK YOU. ? if I wanted to make 6 cups should I increase the time or would the 5 mins still work??

[@TheRealAngelGrace]

Yasss so excited for this! Do you reccomend using the guandules con coco? Mine is homemade apple pie 🥧

[@Chefzeecooks]

You definitely can. I just recommend that you still keep the liquid to rice ratio one to one to get a good consistency with the rice. If you add too much liquid, you risk the rice coming out mushy. Thanks for watching!

[@dr.j6506]

Hey chef Zee, could I replace the gandules with garbanzo beans? I can’t find them anywhere. Thank you 🙏🏽 for all the great content!

[@angiecapellan4494]

💣. Thank you! can you make un Moro de habichuelas roja on instant pot

[@vanessa-oh2id]

Wow! Only 5 minutes?!!! Would you suggest this setting for any kind of rice and bean dish?

[@jessicaraices4957]

I love your videos!! They help me so much 🙌🏻 If I double this recipe, do I need to double the time in the instant pot?

[@ev5793]

Also, my family adds a bit of coconut milk, should we make sure that the water + coconut milk adds up to the 1:1 ratio?

[@valenz76]

Can I use the rice setting already included on my instant pot?

[@Chefzeecooks]

You can, but I found that I got mixed results when making this recipe. It also didn't translate to non-Instant Pot devices. I sometimes use my other devices and use the same setting and get similar results. I hope that this helps!

[@silviadiaz1248]

Is insta pot like a crock pot? I have a crock pot and in tasked with making my moro de gandules, and would love to try making it in the crock pot.

[@lady33357]

this looks so yummy. btw, I love gold spoons where did you get it from?

[@ivyminsky2418]

Hi I love your recipes! I am making this recipe and my instant pot twice has switched to burn. Is there a way to avoid that?

[@childofTheMostHigh4217]

This looks awesome! We def have to have a lasagna at our table, since my husband is Italian

[@Chefzeecooks]

My step dad is Italian so we also have a few Italian dishes at our Thanksgiving dinner 😅

[@hannahvallangca7399]

Tried it and mine was a bit undercooked. Would it have anything to do with my instapot being the mini version? Everything still fit fine in the instapot as far as I saw. Any suggestions on how to fix the undercooked rice? Or would I have to just start over?

[@RebeccaLightbourne]

My instant pot is slightly different. When I started the pressure cook mode, I was able to put in 5 mins but first it started to preheat and then it never showed me the timing that was left. It started saying “burn” so I got scared and stopped the cooking. The rice isn’t horrible but I know it needed some more time. Any advice here? Thanks in advance

[@britneyspears8286]

PLS SHOW US YOUR WHOLE THANKSGIVING DINNER ...A VLOG ABT IT

[@pilarcaraballo929]

Love this recipe! Can u make this in a slowcooker? I have never made rice in a slow cooker.

[@Chefzeecooks]

I’m not sure about making it in the slow cooker. You might end up with a soup like rice since it doesn’t get too hot or build up that pressure. Slow cookers are known for drawing out moisture in the foods that you make in them which is why it’s great for dishes like soups and stews

[@pilarcaraballo929]

Thank you so much for your advice.

[@sabrinav1381]

Can I use crema de coco instead of water when making it in the instant pot?

[@sabrinav1381]

Not crema de coco, I meant leche de coco

[@LauraCespedes247]
