Omg. This is one of my favourites also. I made them yesterday. I also made bacalao soup with guanimes.

[@JoAdventures19]

omg i miss this dish 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

It's so good right! I tell mami to make it for me every time I visit 🤤

[@cmasnted2618]

My family is from the south. We can then guanimos. I’m not sure why some call them guanimes and others call them guanimo but they are made the same. Thanks for the videos. I have to make one to teach to daughter holds to make them. It is her favorite dish

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

Yeah interesting about the different names. I need to ingrain the recipe into my head since it’s one of my favorite dishes as well. 😋

[@lucybirmingham1641]

Thank you for this video. This was my favorite after school surprise that my grandmother made for me. I was a picky eater and terribly underweight and you know what a tragedy that is in a Puerto Rican home. When she passed I so regretted never learning how to make all the unbelievable dishes she used to make. Slowly, I have worked on getting different recipes from whoever I can and finally you showed me how she used to make them. Thank you again.

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

Oh my gosh! Thank you for sharing this with me 💖 I'm really touched and it makes me so happy that my video helped you 🤗

[@cecilianabetancourt5899]

Soooo bomb!!! 🤤😋 and Zayvian 🤣

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

Zayvian is the best part of the video 💖

[@mariaesposito4110]

I like it w red sauce

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

I like it with red sauce too! Unfortunately, my mom is allergic to tomato but this way is good too. 😋

[@medsan11]

This is fantastic! I remember having guanimes as a kid too... I think I had them with ketchup 🤦🏾‍♂️ Definitely with bacalao 👍🏾 Thank you so much 🙏🏾 the music gives the video the right touch 🇵🇷

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video 😃 I laughed at ketchup because I know some Puerto Ricans put ketchup on everything!

En mi casa en PR lo hacian con Bacalao guisado . Pero si se ve rico !

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

Gracias nosotros tambien lo hacemos con Bacalao Guisado aveces 🤗

[@irmacamp210]

😩 I miss this dish, especially the bacalao (codfish) which I’m allergic to now..I use to sprinkle some extra virgin olive oil over it and a slice of avocado.

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

Oh no!!! I'm sorry that your allergic, my mom has become allergic to so many things like tomato and mango and the list goes on. But we've definitely have adjusted the cooking a little differently for her. And yes to the Avocado I don't think I showed it in the video but it was definitely present.

[@SoniaRodriguez-lq6pd]

Hi receipt looks wonderful. Are these the same ones families do in Aguadilla. They look the same but they boil them in parchment paper. I am going to try your way once you post recipe 😊

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

hey love there's instructions on my website yaritzabetancourt.com/guanimes-con-bacalao/ There're definitely a million ways to make Guanimes con Bacalo. I've never seen it done with parchment paper but we've used alumni foil or plantain leaves. But you def can cook them naked like did in the video a lot easier. 😄

[@irisgonzalez8564]

Looks yummy and easy to make ! Thank you

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

You are welcome! Enjoy making them 😃

[@SoniaRodriguez-lq6pd]

Yes

[@NewAgeCoach]

🤤🤤🤤 now I’m craving Bacalao! Looks yummy!

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

right!! so good 🤤

[@MichaelMoore-hb3fo]

This looks awesome!

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

Thank you! let me know if you try it, it's so good 😋

[@ChristineLozada]

WHAT! I wanna meeeet mooommmm! (my mom loves being in my videos and i think everyone on my channel prefers to see her than me. HAHAHAHA)

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

I know!! your mom is soo cute 🥰 my mom is the total opposite she's like 'make sure I'm not in the video/photo" 😂

[@wendym2192]

I'm so glad that you also are a fan of guanimes! Buen provecho! 👍❤

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

gracias!!! Yes, it's been one of my favorites ever since I can remember!

[@Gdlpemeli]

Con bacalao guisao delicioso

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@mariekelly1175]

I add Goya tomato sauce for the cod fish

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

That’s how we used cook it but my mom is allergic to tomato 🍅 now

[@solimarreyes8196]

Rico que son mi familia y yo lo hacemos diferente . Hervimos el agua con sal y luego le hechanos el cornmeal que quede más dura que blandita. Luego cortamos papel de aluminio y cojemos un cucharón y pones un poco ( como si fueran pasteles) pero sin la mestura ( bacalao) tranacamos el papel de aluminio y lo echamos a hervér.

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

oh wow nunca lo había escuchado así... So el bacalao esta adentro del guanime?

[@solimarreyes8196]

@@YaritzaBetancourt no amor hacemos el vacalo como usted lo hiso. Si no que la Arina ya pre cocinada la ponemos dentro de un papel de aluminioy luego a herver. Pero queda rectangular como los pasteles.

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

@@solimarreyes8196 Ahhh okay Gracias por e explicar 😃

[@mercedesgarcia3498]

We do it differently in the north area of PR for sure

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

Yeah I know there's a lot of different ways to make them. I think this is probably the easiest version. My mom has made it in a variety of ways too. With leche de coco, wrapped hoja de platano.... how do you make them?

[@janezamora1158]

I had eaten them before however didn't know the name.

[@marymorales8386]

We do it a little different in Ponce the guanimes we call them guanimos and they are not that ling and skinny, we also add harina de maiz en algunos si los desean, el bacalao lo ponemos en agua caliente y le sacamos bastante la sal si es guisado le ponemos salsa

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

Yup! I explained in the description that you have to boil the salt out of the bacalao beforehand. Guisao con salsa is delicious as well but my mom is allergic to salsa now so we couldn't do it like that. Also I see a lot of people saying they call it guanimos. I didn't know that! My family is from Patillas and Arroyo so I definitely learned something new. Thank you

[@anayvettlebron9839]

Definitely not how make it..but still it looks good. Only complaint I've have.. Give more detail process of how to prepare the meals.. add bacalao in water if salted..also don't touch or play with your hair around food...my Mom would freak out..lol

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

lol I noticed that after and I was like "oh shit why am I touching my hair?!!!" luckily nobody ended up with hair in their food 😅 But I agree thank you for the constructive criticism. I did try to add more detailed information in the description box. But I will get better.

[@johannyscruz1473]

In English I believe is the same as dumplings (like chicken and dumplings)... ¿Question when you boil them did you add any salt into the water??

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

No salt into the water but we did add some olive oil and 2 garlic cloves in the boiling water before we added the dumplings.

[@johannyscruz1473]

I am definitely going to try your recipe🤞😁🤞

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

@@johannyscruz1473 Let me know how it goes 🤗

[@sriveratwc]

It's a dumpling.

[@cchavez00]

So, was that dry bacalao? Soaked for days? Or, fresh? In Perú, we use dried bacalao in a tomato sauce and it is delicious. I would like to make the dumplings with a different shape. I see you can make them like tamales, which would be aesthetically more pleasing. I see that other people make them thicker and shorter and those look good too. You can make the dumplings look like gnocchi. 👍I realize that I love dumplings, so I will try this recipe! Tell me what is in your sofrito. We would call the onions, cilantro and garlic sofrito so that is why I am curious. What is your husband's ethnicity? I love that he is so appreciative. My husband is too! He loves Peruvian food. 💘

[@wandagoyco7587]

It's all good but please next time pick up your haír you don't want guanimes with bacalao and hair 😳

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

hahah I know!!! I totally agree I didn't think about it until after and then when I saw the video I was like why do I keep touching my hair?! Luckily no one had food in their hair lol

[@erikaruiz7752]

That looks hella salty 😖

[@YaritzaBetancourt]

It wasn't 😃
