How to make Puerto Rican Carne Frita with Arroz con Habichuelas

[@JuliMar1119]

I'm sooooo happy I found your channel! I'm Mexican married to a Puerto Rican and I have been wanting to learn how to make the food my husband grew up eating. I want our 3 children to love Puerto Rican good and living in Texas we don't get much of it. You, ma'am ... Are my way to learning!!!

[@chubby112878]

I’m an Italian girl but married a Puerto Rican. I’ve been cooking Spanish food for over 20 years. I watch your videos all the time and we cook so similar! I learned the off the island cooking from my ex mother in law and you cook so similar I love it!

[@shimali06]

I'm so happy that I subscribed to your channel. I'm a black woman with a puerto rican hubby (newlyweds), and I need to learn how to make authentic puerto rican meals with the quickness--or else we'll go broke from eating out at P.R. restaurants every weekend lol!!! His mom lives in Florida, but when she comes to visit she cooks for him everyday. WE BOTH love that!!

[@sweetsandbeyond]

shimali06 So happy you found me! You should surprise her the next time she visits with your cooking!

[@shimali06]

I will certainly try!! lol

[@sweetsandbeyond]

shimali06 If you have any questions, just let me know.

[@hlcepeda]

Here's to hoping that your mother-in-law also makes pastellas for you guys!

[@shimali06]

@@hlcepeda unfortunately she is no longer with us. She passed away Dec 2018. 😞❤ May God rest her soul.

[@kristen1245]

I am white and my husband is Puerto Rican . God has blessed you with the delicious way you cook with love. I am going to try this recipe for a change in the way his Mom makes hers and I taught myself by many many pots of rice and beans thrown away due to errors..but mine is fabulous now. can't wait to try them s recipe and see the difference in flavors. I also can t wait to try the desserts

[@Kharhismaaa]

OMG mujer you have me salivating! I'm not Puertorican but I'm so doing this. Thanks for taking the time to show us your recipe. Looking forward to many more!! Blessings!!!

[@gialopez1277]

I love your channel and how you focus on a whole meal instead of one recipe. Its SO helpful

[@sweetsandbeyond]

+gia lopez Thanks! I have several videos on complete meals.

[@mickeyblue2647]

Man I wish I was in your kitchen right now eating that delicious looking plate of food 🧑🏽‍🍳👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍✌️🤛🏼

[@sweetsandbeyond]

@MissLuzimar Thank you so much for the kind words. That's my favorite sound and scent, sofrito hitting a hot caldero! Blessings to you!

[@gloriamckenna5959]

I LOVE UR VIDEO'S! YOU COOK LIKE MY MOTHER DID(SHE PASS A WAY) & THE WAY YOU COOK BRINGS BACK A TIME SHE WAS TRYING TO TEACH ME TO COOK! I TOLD MY SON ABOUT YOU & I SHARE YOU ON MY FACEBOOK! THANK YOU SOOOOO, MUCH, PLEASE MAKE MORE!

[@Lizet_Artistry]

I enjoy re-watching your videos because I love the way you talk. Also inspires me to get cooking!

[@sweetsandbeyond]

Thank you Lizet!

[@MissLuzimar]

I've been watching your videos and I swear I can smell the sofrito when you place it in the oil, the garlic, onions, green peppers, etc.... Yummy! That's what home should smell like, they should put it in an air freshener. LOL! My mother was a great cook and a lot of your dishes I remember her making them. She passed away when I was young, but I remember the food, delicious... Thank you for the good memories... Love, Marisol.

[@snowbear5606]

Me encantan tus recetas son simples, autentica y deliciosas. Tu comida me transporta a mi cocina en PR con mis padres, amigos y vecinos disfrutando de nuestra comida criolla....

[@boricuateck]

I love watching your cooking videos!! I've learned so much. My abuela passed away before showing me how to cook all my favourite dishes. So I'm learning from you and everything you make is delicious and perfect!! Thank you so much!!!!!Patty.

[@Yvetteeee2012]

Another YUMMY recipe! Both the arroz con habichuelas y carne frita came out PERFECT! Just ask my hubby Eddie! BTW, Eddie says "Gracias!"

[@lillybethmendez612]

Y tus recetas son perfectas. Vengo de familia puertorriqueña q si saben cocinar. Y la receta de arroz con dulce de mi tía... de rechupete. No he visto ningúna mejor. Jijijiji.

[@jorgeamdv]

TREMENDA COCINERA!!! LOVE THE RECIPE. I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THE PORK CHUNKS... THANK YOU!!!!

[@lillybethmendez612]

Eres la mejor haciendo demostraciones de como cocinar comida puertorriqueña. Transmites muy bien. Pq hay cada quien con demostraciones "cafres". Felicitaciones.

[@lisavalle919]

Please post more recipes! My husband is from Puerto Rico and I've struggled to find authentic recipes I can make for him. This is great and the sofrito is wonderful! Keep them coming!

[@sweetsandbeyond]

[@MsMariacharity]

i love your latin dishes videos...they are sooooo helpful and my boyfriend loves all my rices thanks to you!!!!

[@lisaloveeb]

Idk how I missed this video, but I love the way u cook ur pork steaming it first, letting the liquid absorb and then allowing it to brown, that's genius lol, ive been having a hard time w pork, we really like using boneless ribs and frying em but I kept having to overfry it because the middle wasn't cooked all the way and it would come out kinda dry, I'm trying your way tonight, thanks ida.

[@peteralvarez2485]

Wow 🤩 que sabrosa comida 🍱 me encantó.

[@TinaKimAliseLLC]

I'm still binging on videos and I'm cracking up at the part where you were talking about the spoon trick never working for you and I of course know that you have it down pat....You go girl.You came a long way #TeamAida 🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@raefaceee]

You are very welcome for subscribing:) I have to tell you... I made the rice today and it was SOO delicious. Please continue making videos. Your recipies are no-brainers to follow and you make it look unbelievably effortless.I love recreating the dishes and feeding my family. You are a blessing to us who take Puerto Rican cooking seriously - God Bless and thank you=)

[@Cherylelynn85]

my husband is puerto rican I am nor but, I love making and eating spanish food... great video :-) subscribed last night.

[@i_am_suzy114]

I just made this entire meal and it is phenomenal! Thanks for sharing your wonderful recipes and cooking techniques!

[@dianalake9430]

Hi Aida I made this today and the masitas de puerco, came out so good. Made the rice too. Everything was good. I actually didn't have meat tenderizer, so added little pineapple juice instead. This way of making the meat was easy. I've tried the oil and water method was this was easier.

[@Monaliza4218]

I'm making this whole meal on Saturday! Got all the ingredients today. Looks yummy!

[@michellvargas4412]

Made this today and when I tell you my husband and daughter ate TWO plates of it and loved it! All I was missing was the aguacate and that’s because the store in my neighborhood don’t have them but other than THAT I followed ur directions and it came out DELICIOUS! Thanks again, I’m definitely a fan of ur cooking! Xoxo

[@nesai9716]

Michell Vargas what kind of pork do you buy?

[@graciehernandez1364]

I love how easy it is when you explain what you are doing. Looks Yummy 😋😋😋

[@carlospena73]

[@akualikewater]

I'm making Carne Frita right but now I want to make the whole dish you have prepared. It looks delicious !

[@trishatorres8103]

I made this today and it was a hit! I loved it. It had so much flavor without being salty. Definitely making this again in the near future.

[@hildazorrilla9064]

Yummy! Making this for dinner with tostones and a green salad! Thanks for sharing!

[@criistiina9021]

Absolutely delicious in the rice I just omitted the beans and made the beans from one of your previous videos and my family loved it! Thank you for being so thorough in your explanations ❤.

[@Icon328]

Made this for dinner. Perfecto! Everyone loved it.

[@dodito1969]

Mil gracias! Mi arroz quedo de escandalo! Sueltecito y con mucho sabor boricua!

[@sweetsandbeyond]

[@irenamartinez2714]

Thank you for your videos they really helped me.I like how you explain steps by step

[@heathergarcia53]

I stumbled on this video when searching for Puerto Rican pork recipes and you made it seem so easy! I made it tonight and my husband and kids loved it!! It was so delicious!!! I followed your recipe and video for the pork and rice to the “T” and it came out awesome! Can’t wait to try more of your recipes!!

[@peteralvarez2485]

Soy nuevo en su canal me encantó esta receta de masa puerco frita con arroz con Gandules

[@brendavizaguirre]

Making this today! Thank you for your amazing tips and techniques 👍 I've made the sofrito too---came out just like my husband's mom (they are PR) so of course I had a very proud moment (I'm 100% Peruvian) Not bad for my first time and thanks to you for the simple step by step instructions. Now back to my kitchen to make this rice (I have pork chops marinading in the fridge already)🥰

[@littlemisspookyness]

Love your channel! I’ve made your recipes and they are fantastic . I always feel at home when I watch your videos.

[@sweetsandbeyond]

@Reynaldo Morales There are different ways of making rice. This is the one that works for me. The end result is the same, yummy fluffy rice

[@Jazzybenson24]

Im soo makin your recipe tonight. Goin to try your rice too. I make mine a lil diff. Yours is simple.

[@sweetsandbeyond]

@indokidful I use long grain rice, usually store brand. You can rinse the beans and add them. I don't think it will change the taste of it.

[@markgarcia32074]

Ida! Thank you so much for sharing this video. Looks YUMMY! Just like mami and wela used to make.

[@heru-deshet359]

Ever since I went to Puerto Rico on a vacation years ago I got hooked on your cooking. I think it's the best cuisine in the world! I don't like this video, I LOVE it! Consider me subscribed. I'm going off to a corner now and cry because I can't get this in Maryland where I live. Then, later, I'm going to try making this myself. I look forward to seeing more of your magic.

[@sweetsandbeyond]

Thank you so much! I agree! Our food is awesome. It's very easy to make. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm happy to help.

[@heru-deshet359]

sweetsandbeyond I certainly will! Do you have a video on how to make Chicken Asopao? I try to make a PR Christmas dinner during the holidays and so far everyone loves it, but I've never made Asopao. I want to mess with some friends and crash their homes late at night (which I think is a crazy fun custom) during the holidays and bring it as a peace offering so I won't get my butt kicked. LOL!

[@kguevara6487]

I just found you on Facebook today and clicked the link to watch you video here on KZbin. You are amazing! I love your videos and alll the many recipes. I can't wait to try and make some of these delicious meals myself. Thank you for sharing.

[@sweetsandbeyond]

Hello Aida! Thank you for sharing your delicious Puertorican recipes! I'm Mexican & I love P.R. food..I'm glad I can finally cook it myself. Lol! You're awesome! God bless you! :)

[@sweetsandbeyond]

@hopelam01 I use Badia brand. It does contain salt and papain, which is actually papaya! That's why I mention to go easy on the adobo.

[@sweetsandbeyond]

@indokidful You're welcome. When the meat starts browning, ai take the lid off and fry it.

[@sweetsandbeyond]

@Kharhismaaa Thank you so much! Next is pollo guisado (chicken stew) Blessings to you too!

[@joywaylett1661]

I love hearing the noise in the kitchen, it lets the family know that dinner is cooking..lol

[@hopelam01]

You said to make sure the meat tenderizer is "seasoning free" that's interesting, and a good point, I never knew they had it like that. Can you tell me what brand you use.

[@angilatorres1068]

Genius to cut up the pork chops I’m going to try this thank you❤
