Puerto Rican Arroz Con Gandules | Perfect every time | Mari's Cooking

[@mariscookingpr]

This video has become my most popular video on my channel to date! From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for your support! I'm surprised no one noticed or commented on my hand flinching when that oil popped as I cooked the ham! 🥲🤣Lol! God bless you all!

[@jim8572]

Hi I'm going to try your recipe, I'm also making Pernil for the first time 🤞, when you added the rice was it cooked already?

[@jim8572]

Oh another question, I was only able to find gandules verde is that ok?

[@mariscookingpr]

@@jim8572 Hi Jim! No, the rice was raw - it was Just rinsed with water. Gandules verdes are perfect! ☺️

I'm puerto rican and have followed many different recipes for arroz con gandules however this by far has been the best, made it for Christmas and my family smashed it

Hi. I'm from Connecticut but live in Arizona. A Puerto Rican woman used to babysit me until I was around 7 years old. She had 3 daughters that I would play with. I made multiple attempts to locate one of them since I've been in Arizona with no luck. She made the most amazing chicken and rice. No one has been able to share a recipe even remotely close. She actually sat me on her counter and I didn't move. I watched her every step. I honestly think you duplicated what she did. I'm excited about trying your recipe. She even made me the same oatmeal that you made. I'm so excited to try your recipes. Thank you so much.

[@mariscookingpr]

Thank you so much for sharing this with me! Wishing you the best of luck as you recreate these dishes that you remember so fondly! Let me know if you ever have any questions. 🥰

[@IrisGonzalez412]

Yes!! Same!! My mom’s Mexican but a PR lady babysat me, she was my second mom, mami ♥️ She passed away and I miss her and her cooking SO much! This food is nostalgia. I feel like you’re the only one that has replicated these recipes and I just can’t wait to make these for my baby girl now, in honor of my PR momma. I even named my baby after her ♥️

[@TheLastOmnitect]

Thank you so much for this video. My grandmother (95) recently passed, and while my entire family is Puerto Rican, I live on the other side of the country from them, and can't often visit. since her passing, I wanted to get back in touch with my heritage, and while I may not speak much spanish, and my skin may be very fair, my family has always maintained a close tie to our food culture. While I was down for the funeral, my family taught me how they make sofrito, and Arroz Con Gandules was my Grandma's favorite dish. And frankly, a lot of the "authentic" recipes I've found online are just a mainland white chef parroting other white chefs say our food is like, and it often feels like they miss the point. Im going to try this recipe closer towards Christmas this year, and see how it goes! Thank you, so much for this clear, concise and well made step-by-step video. It means a ton.

[@Lisyv1]

😊 if your rice comes out alittle hard cover it with wax paper or foil put the lid back on and keep on low it will help keep moisture in

This is the best video. Straight to the point and not too long. I love how Chicken Buillon was not included. Many of the other Arroz Con Gandules videos are way to salty. The Sazon, the Pork sazon adds enough salt, no chicken buillon needed.

Thank you so much for all the information as well as this recipe. ❤ we are having this tonight with chicken legs 😁🎉

I also took a moment and watched your Q & A video that you added where you been doing this for 3 or so years before adding your face to it & think it should be all about the food, but you also get a stronger connection with your subscribers as well with let's just say a meet & greet! I'm looking forward to following your recipes, & making and trying them out & really miss the aromas it gives in the kitchen while cooking and the food!!!! I have to agree with you that farina is one of my favorites too! On a personal note I have to say your husband was right to push you to do this & I'm glad you did!
