[@EverythingPaulette]

Yummy Tina!!! It looks good. I hate my Pelau video; I can't wait to take down some of them; I look so tired, lol; so much was going on at one point but I have learned quite a bit and it gets better with time. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Xo

[@marvamapp4515]

Very nice indeed the chef simplifies as she teaches

[@Tinaraine]

Thank you Marva!

[@Tinaraine]

Hi Paulette we grow and learn as time goes by. Those old videos remind you of how far you've come, no need to remove any. In the beginning I had no idea what I was doing now I am more confidence, my old videos now stand as a reminder. I have a long way to go. Thanks for watching. Be bless.

[@EverythingPaulette]

??? Lol. 🤨🤨

[@EverythingPaulette]

Tinaraine You are so right, I guess we’ve all been there. Thanks 🙏 so much!!!

[@user-vv9bl7fr8k]

Im gonna try to make this for dinner tonight. I've been craving this. i dont live close to my family so i have to learn how to make these dishes myself. Thank you for the demo ❤

[@TheresaSeepaulsingh]

Thank you great love your cooking.😅bless you.

[@Tinaraine]

Thank you so much!

[@ccallender4012]

Thank you for this true Bajan version, commentary and all was Bajan to the bone. Love it!. Where do you get your molasses from in Barbados?

[@Tinaraine]

Hi Callender, Thank you so much! I don't live in Barbados but I'm sure you may find it in the supermarket. Thank you for watching and have a great night.

[@lizabetx483]

Barbadian author Austin Clarke devoted a chapter in his book Pigtails n' Breadfruit to Pelau. Mr. Clark wrote, "The Trinidadians invent it ...But we in Barbados perfect it! Nothing is wrong with a little picong! But to add insult to injury he proceeded to provide a "Trinidad" recipe devoid of pigeon peas and coconut milk. Sorry if I was very direct. I appreciate your bubbly personality, cooking videos and your channel.

[@Tinaraine]

Hello Lisbet, thank you so much for watching. One thing I know for sure is Bajans know there way around the kitchen. 😍

[@martemis]

They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery.

[@orleyh]

Thanks for these recipes; I plan to try all of them, starting with Pudding and Souse. And please forgive this red-blooded Bajan. My first impression of your kitchen was "what a beautiful woman!" .

[@Tinaraine]

Awww! Thank you so much! When you try your recipes please let me know how there come out for you, and thanks for watching.

[@mcintoshfamily3184]

How do you hold the pot with your bare hands? I am hurting just looking at that. Your pelau looks beautiful and tasty. Will definitely try molasses next time. Keep on cooking delicious recipes. Boston

[@Tinaraine]

I had to look back at the video to see what you were talking about😂The pot was not hot at the top, so it was easy for me to hang onto it. Thank you so much for watching.

[@rosannanarinesingh7589]

This dish goes well with colesloe.

[@Tinaraine]

Yes it does! I'll be making that very soon. Thanks for watching

[@ghettosuperstar2able]

Think this is more Trinidadian style pelau rather than bajan I dont remember putting peas or coconut milk in a bajan pelau I try some Trini pelau when i was over in New York and that was so nice

[@Tinaraine]

I guess you have not tried much Bajan Pelau, I had this at a picnic in Barbados a few years ago and it was so good.😋

[@lizabetx483]

This is a "Trinidad style Pelau" but the usual way of making it is to add the seasoned chicken to fresh browning (caramelize the sugar in pot to a rich dark brown colour). There is no curry in traditional Pelau. The addition of chicken stock is a good way to enhace the flavour profile. I am Trinidadian and make no excuses for being a Pelau Police.

[@sadepearce2581]

Pelau is one of my favorite dish , always reminds me of Guyanese cook up 😍😍

[@Tinaraine]

Sade, Pelau is one of my favorite dishes, It's so good! 😊

[@DatriniThug]

In trini culantro not cilantro is what we call shadon deni

[@Tinaraine]

Hi Rudebwoi, thanks for the correction and thank you for watching.

[@sweetannieslife]

Great! Where do you find Browning, I can't see any in CT.

[@Tinaraine]

Sometimes you will find it in Walmart, or the Spanish supermarket look for the international section.

[@yvonnebranch7191]

Your cooking is great. However even though I follow the recipe I am still not happy with my results.

[@Tinaraine]

Hi Yvonne, Sorry to hear that you were not happy with your results. I'm not sure what went wrong, If the rice did not cook correctly, you should check the brand you used. I always use uncle bens it come out the same way for me all the time. Make a few changes and give it another try, see what happens.

[@jamyrawiltshire7590]

Let the meat marinate overnight or at least 3 hours and it will taste better

[@Tinaraine]

Yes that does work, Marinating is always best

[@AngelA-cu9mg]

Looks delicious. Gonna try it one day. Your seasoning I love how you put them in the chicken, must taste real nice.💕🇬🇧

[@Tinaraine]

Thank you Angel! It came out really nice, all those flavors came together and every bite was delicious. Go ahead and give it a try let me know how it came out, believe me you will be glad you did. thanks for watching.

[@Tinaraine]

Thank you so much and Welcome to the tinaraine family .

[@Kenrickthomas12]

How much rice should I add? 1 cup, 2 cup, etc. I’m making it this week.

[@Tinaraine]

Hi Kenrick, that rice is so good you have to cook at lease two cups, and of course that depend on how many people you will be cooking for. To cook two cups of rice, you will need 4 cups of water, if you're using coconut milk measure it with your water to make sure you're adding the correct amount. Thanks for giving the recipe a try, let me know how it comes out
