I'd love for Garcelle to do one of these segments and teach us some Haitian dishes 😋!!

[@thelifeuchoose]

Ohhhh yes

[@MelissaMNaturealiztabeauty]

Yes we need

[@Exploringwithisha]

Yess

[@melmar6728]

I was literally about to type this

[@ella7225]

Actually she did with plantains!

[@trey8872]

Her mom knew to mention that the chicken had been SEASONED! Yes, mama!

[@pjo3306]

Hehehe! You are a fan. 😊 You saw her epic fail (which still tasted bomb according to them) on her page. She kept on seasoning the chicken over and over again 😂😂😂

[@Nique1986]

Such a beautiful mother daughter bond I luv it ❤️❤️❤️

[@SophieLovesSunsets]

I wish Ms Nilda and Adrienne had a cooking channel. These recipes are amazing ❤️

[@Desi-zz4gb]

Omg I remember when ade tried to make this on her own lmao it was hilarious

[@MajesticMyronn]

Oh my gosh the moment she said coquito I got excited!!! my friend from New Yorkkkk, her father made coquito for thanksgiving and I want sum so bad 😭😭! And this looks so bomb 😍😍

[@foodaddict17]

We call it sofrito in Puerto Rico. Recao is one of the herbs included (culantro). Loved this video 🥰🇵🇷

[@MrsAmy24.7]

I think it depends whats in it, because in the store I noticed the one that's green is recao the one that has some color because of the red pepper and onions is sofrito.

[@1jennifer89]

The seasoning is similar to ours in Haiti. I love all Caribbean food. ❤️

[@vanessamodeste3584]

Look good, but Jennifer Haitians use way more delicious seanoning than that...just saying🙃

[@Rokia2003]

@@vanessamodeste3584 it’s pretty much the same just saying

[@chantal_868]

Same as green seasoning in Trinidad and Tobago as well. The food is also similar to a dish we have called Pelau

[@marijajanjic1116]

@@chantal_868 In the Balkans we call it Pilav. Only it is made with chicken broth instead of water

[@sweetie4148]

@@vanessamodeste3584 did you think this is all our seasoning in Puerto Rico? 😂😂😂 we have sofrito, adobo, sazón, sal, ajo we put so many stuff you just have to go to Puerto Rico, the dish and all of the seasoning they used in this video is not what we Puerto Ricans use 😂 she’s not full Puerto Rican and she didn’t grew up in Puerto rico they assume that’s how is done but here in Puerto Rico we don’t cook like gringos 🤷‍♀️ all the Caribbean islands have the best taste in food because of our ancestors and our rich culture. ❤🌴🌺

[@jayjay-xx4zf]

her mom is so cute I love her hair

[@jB-rj1pb]

I love miss Nilda

[@floradeewater5602]

Mama Nilda needs a cooking show. Point blank period.

[@meaganbianca2978]

When people hear I’m half Puerto Rican but don’t know how to cook all these traditional plates I feel the disappointment 😩 I need to dedicate some time to learning it like Adrienne is doing

[@isamarfeliciano333]

Sister, I’m 100% Puertorican living in the island and I don’t know how to cook these dishes either. It’s my 2022 resolution to learn how to make some pasteles and arroz con gandules from my mother in law. Btw, if you are puertorican, please don’t skip on learning how to dance Bomba. Then, pass it on to the next generations. 🤗

[@alaneofmyown]

I had this at an authentic Mexican restaurant and it was sooo yummy I think they put queso in theirs.. Mann it is sooo good all of the ingredients go together so well...

[@juanh6099]

Mexican rice is different from Puerto Rican rice

[@empressking1647]

I'd like to see Garcelle try a Hattian dish.

[@1jennifer89]

Loni is funny! No bananas 😂

[@brandychivers3272]

I love seeing you two together 💝🤗

[@MelisaMarie]

Mama Nilda said SEASONED mad strong loool. She said no plain chicken in this jawn!

[@isamarfeliciano333]

I loved this! Adrienne, please teach these ladies how to dance Bomba. I’m sure a lot of people would love to learn about the Puerto Rico-African heritage.

[@littlebean2494]

I feel like I would add olives and red peppers to it. Plus a side of plantains!

[@xxxmickyxxx3]

Yeah you can deffo add red peppers and onion and cook it first then go in with the rice

[@ingridayarza]

Yess!

[@sassygurl8615]

I love seeing my culture represented 🇵🇷 I’m 21 years and I loveeee making coquito and all of these meals

[@allopinionsreservedsike]

Love these Ladies!! I'm a fan since day one of the pilot

[@JAYJAY70693]

Thanks to this video this has become my specialist to cook for everybody 🙌🏽

[@TheAllyson25]

You see that green stuff she added with the culantro... in Trinidad and Tobago we call that green seasoning... and we use that to season our meat, poultry and fish....

[@crystallove7205]

Puerto Ricans add it on basically everything except white rice of course 😂

[@crystallove7205]

We call it sofrito in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷

[@johnnyc3184]

Garcelle make us some Accra Fritters and Griot please! Also, Chicken Stew. Haitian Style Chicken Stew is similar to Puerto Rican but no carrots or potatoes but onions, red/green peppers and some nice spicy kick! FYI Haitians make the Best Fried Fish in the world. They have mastered Frying Fish and White Rice. The white rice is simple but soooooooo goood!

[@shanicew6576]

Love seeing you guys together ❤️🔥

[@sweetie4148]

Hola chula I’m Puerto Rican and those are not even our seasoning 😳😳 where’s the sofrito? Adobo, sazón, Ajo, cilantro ? Y todo lo que le metemos al arroz con pollo… I’m Puerto Rican 100% born and raised and still living here and that’s not how it’s done in Puerto Rico 😱🇵🇷 nope nope

[@alp7928]

I know!! It looked so plain

[@mariejustinerichardson3596]

We call it LOKREY and it is one of our Island dish we add Pease and carrots 🥕and serve it with fry ripe plantain as a side dish ST MARTIN

[@nivyrivera]

Recao and sofrito are two different things 🤦🏻‍♀️😂🤣😂

[@YouTubeReady]

Seemed like her momma made it to me.

[@drtash21]

Adrienne: This is my second shot at making it and it came out way better. *Also Adrienne: lets mom do ALL of the cooking* You supposed to do the cooking Adrienne while your mom watches not the around way round 😒.

[@AndieeGrl]

Right! 😄

[@sophiarodriguez3706]

My parents are Cuban, so I guess we make our arroz con pollo differently. My mother’s always involved a couple of chicken boullion cubes, white cooking wine, yellow saffron rice (VERY important), pimientos, chopped onion, and peas. And we never put beans with it.🤷🏻‍♀️

[@gloriaremesal150]

I make that Spanish rice and the chicken boullion adds tons of flavor! I was just thinking tho… I think you would need more water for the rice? I add 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of water. But this looks good.:: gotta try it.

[@Deisi666]

I’m cuban on my mom’s side as well and we basically do it the same, but the difference is we have it with plátano frito🤤

[@ingridayarza]

@@Deisi666 yasss, same but I'm actually from Panama 🇵🇦

[@Deisi666]

@@ingridayarza This just gave me a great idea. My mom's birthday is coming up and I should make this for her.

[@crystallove7205]

Not all puerto Ricans make it the same because I add chicken bouillon also and I don't add anything tomato

[@judithchemel1799]

We call it jollof rice in ghana

[@KharisB.A]

Hey fellow Ghanaian 🙋🏽‍♀️🇬🇭, I was about to type this same comment, then I saw yours. I was like, this is jollof rice.

[@drtash21]

Isn't jollof rice normally a reddish colour from the chillies 🌶 😕? Just asking.

[@KharisB.A]

@@drtash21 The appearance differs according to individual preference. I like my jollof rice colourful so I prepare mine to have that reddish appearance. But, I've seen others whose jollof rice is as pale as what Adrienne's mom prepared.

[@deborahnguvan8591]

I'm not Ghanaian tho but I was about to say thesame thing. It's plain jollof

[@snehapoonacha8364]

It's kinda like an Indian Chicken Pulav hehe yum

[@GrowingwithRome]

Yes ACP

[@johnnyc3184]

Arroz con Pollo is Delicious. I add Extra Sofrito and more Herb Seasonings. U can add Beans to the rice too for more Protein.

[@Cantetinza17]

Arroz con pollo is my, I need to conserve money, but feel like I'm eating well.

[@quailbanks4483]

Munchkin be too happy to be a camera person for mom's but not only that she stands really close too 😋

[@larein7692]

Lol I get concerned when I see Adrienne I’m the kitchen because her dishes are always a bit “different “ i.e. tuna fish and Hawaiian Punch sandwiches 🤮. But her mom came through with the boriqua dish today!!!!

[@ageewin298]

Loooove it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mmmmmmmmmmmmmm859]

I absolutely love being with my rice so yes I would absolutely have rice and beans and chicken and cilantro and peppers I'd probably add onion and tomato to that but I'm just that person

[@magda3999]

Can anyone tell me how to make those beans?? I need a recipe please!

[@garykemple1827]

Thank u

[@style7057]

Child this reminds me that every culture arroz con pollo is different because I was having a stroke, that’s not the way we do it in Colombia

[@amgooder]

No beans needed with arroz con pollo...a nice tasty salad🥗, tostones and aguacate🥑. I like it with a little ketchup and corn😑

What cooking pot brand is this? ☺️

[@lizd6886]

They're not allowed to say because it's considered advertising

[@crystallove7205]

Best pot for cooking puerto rican rice is called a caldero and my preferable brand is Imusa

[@eddiechase305]

Cuban arroz con pollo looks and tastes better. I'm sure it's delicious but where's the cooking wine and peas and pepper as garnish? Bouillon chicken cube?

[@crystallove7205]

Not everyone cooks the same and like any latino country some cook better than others but not everyone knows how to cook

[@gatogris5010]

No sabía que pudieras degustar los platos a través de la cámara. Sólo así puedes asegurar que el tuyo SABE MEJOR. Creo que lo justo es decir que, tu forma de hacer el plato es DIFERENTE.

[@rosechambers431]

What ingredient was before the tomato 🍅 sauce?

[@ARCI12345]

Sofrito, its a mixture of onion, garlic, green peppers, sweet peppers, and cilantro

[@Mr_and_Mrs_Seiler]

Do you use par boiled rice or regular rice?

[@jens8223]

Regular

[@Truther1903]

@@TiffanyRayneOfficial I know what she is. She makes it very clear everyday. It’s flashy and annoying and thinks being Spanish is a personality trait. I am El Salvadorian myself and still find it annoying.
