Cooking Arroz con Gandules

[toston2010]

eso esta orrible tine demaciados ingredientes y se pasa de lo tradicional

[AmieB2005]

This is NOT typical. All this grease and bacon fat!! No way! Rice & gandules does NOT typically have bacon in it, much less all this grease. Nasty! Bad recipe.

[AmieB2005]

How 'bout skipping the damn nasty bacon altogether, hmm? Yes, I think so.

[tommytorreson2]

Eating that kind of fatty rice is gonna put someone in the grave sooner than you think. All that fat will clog up arteries. So instead of using all that fat bacon which is loaded with Nitrates that cause cancer. Use those Goya bacon flavored packets and you get the same exact flavor you're looking for without all that fat.

@jujuhelo1 than don't eat it fool. Go eat a carrot.... Great dish. Thanks for posting.

[jujuhelo1]

First time I see bacon in an arroz con gandules recipe; and by the way that's a LOT of bacon, sorry, but not healthy at all. :(

[swaggachild81]

Never seen bacon before in that I'm gonna try it

[prboxershorts]

[BlackKittyClaws]

BTW--- this white girl does NOT represent all white people. LOL

[prexplorer]

Those Sazon and beef boullion packets are loaded with MSG. It's best to use fresh culantro leaves and olive oil colored with annatto. The kettle is made of aluminum. It's best to use a cast iron pot.

[eileen1425]

it comes out soupy because you are using to much water or you are not letting it cook long enough for the water to evaporate

[Vennuch83]

q ricooooooooooooooooooooo es mi arroz favorito

[hypnotiqma00]

that white girl is so white lol!!!! how funny!!

[gabe21z]

I made this recipe and it came out delicious thank you AASU. also I would like a recipe for Mojo con Ajo.

[courtnmoopsmama]

woooooow!!!! looks amazing and the lady in the video obviously knows what she's doin! gotta try this

[bluepicis]

@nelida22, you right, too much bacon, but is just family recipe. In Puerto Rico, mostly use smoke jam, not too much.

[bluepicis]

Well, in my house (Puerto Rico) we use smoke jam, never bacon because has too much fat

[crazycil143]

wayy to much bacon thats a heart attack you can add sason instead of the paste and

i use about 5 small strips of bacon for flavor and defenetely dont need all that ham.

[phlgooden86]

Thank you for the recipe I'm going to try to make this.

[evapanelli1]

OMG --- THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO. I ACTUALLY BELIEVED, FOR MANY YEARS, THAT MY GRANDMOTHER STARTED THAT TRADITION OF STANDING THE SPOON IN THE CENTER OF THE "CALDERO" TO ENSURE THAT YOU HAD ADDED SUFFICIENT RICE TO LIQUID RATIO. THIS IS THE EXACT WAY THAT I MAKE MINE -- I DO USE THE PLANTAIN LEAF, AS WELL AS CULANTRO -- ANYONE THAT IS LOOKING FOR THE RECAO LEAF --- VIETAMESE PEOPLE USE IT IN THEIR FOOD --- THEY CALL IT NO-GUY. "BUEN PROVECHO" ...

[prpisces32]

mmmm. looks soooo flavorful. makes me wanna go to the kitchen right now and hook up some arroz con gandules. too much bacon though... my mom also puts bacon in her arroz... other then that, i can assure you that the arroz con gandules in this video was GOOOOOOOD! :-)

[JCLATINO4U]

Too see you do the spoon trick took me back to my grandma and mom that's how I learned can't wait for christmas here with all the goodies. Thanks for sharing

[samanthamom777]

This is the best recipe ever, I make it every holiday. My husband is Puerto rican and he shows of my cooking skills lol thanks to youtube! But his family love it.

[xep00]

this is by far the second most elaborate arroz con gradules I have ever seen.

[n05tr4d4177u5]

i like this video alot, reminds me of living with fam



[elbacooks4u]

Stop by my cooking channel and view my arroz con gandules. God Bless

[jennspearl]

those are the best pots to make rice, the bacon part i dont know everybody makes it different depending on the town that u are from in puertorico my family puts "salchichon" in it which is spanish version of italian sausages or even chorizo and green olives for color and taste ..is easy making rice is all about how many people is going to eat if is 4 people then is 4 cups of rice and 41/2 of water and and and the rest of the ingredients is up to taste u make it how u like it!!..

[Sweetwater2015]

that is not the right way to make arroz con gandules , authentic doesnt have bacon or tomato paste 

[Sweetwater2015]

que mogollo mami

[RiteshTammy]

mmmmmmm! that looks good! 

[hedmaime]

I miss PR food!

[thicknasty24]

that's alot of bacon..it would'nt be to salty

[sapphiretwilight85]

it's annoying that white women are more open minded about diffrent cultures then white guys i'm hispanic and i like white guys!!!

[fonseca71]

@sapphiretwilight85 Don't you think that's a generalization?

[nazbites]

@sapphiretwilight85 Hispanic and Whites have always interacted. This goes on in every culture, white chicks dig black guys, Indian guys, but theres alway vice versa just gotta look for it.

[gza34]

Thats a bit too much bacon and jamon... even for most Puerto Ricans. You can use much less and still get the same flavor. Unfortunately, although it is delicious, it is very high in cholesterol. So you dont HAVE to add so much. It'll still taste great and is less damaging to your arteries!! :-)

[haloman2235]

@gza34

IS THIS ARROZ CON GANDULEZ OR BACON



[LoveableRican]

[10clau76]

mmmmm.......i don't  like it ....

[Loyolajack]

Ohhhhh yummmy!

[bellereve1]

Great recipe but my cholesterol just went up 200 points just by looking at it... he he he. I guess that as long it is done for special occasions like Christmas or Thanksgiving which is tradition in my family it is ok to be "bad" on those ocassions.

[nelida22]

@bellereve1 LMOF....now thats funny. To much bacon.

[bellereve1]

@nelida22 Don't get me wrong, this is a GREAT RECIPE. The lady knows how to cook. 

[nelrican22]

@bellereve1 You are so right !!! I made it and everyone loved it. I didn't put to much Bacon however.

[Laughwhenitsfunny]

[cue1523]

I think it comes out soupy because they dont then tell u that when u put the rice u have to wait to it boils again then after then after that then u put the foil and let cook for 15 to 20 minutes also do the spoon method it works great

[Laughwhenitsfunny]

lol. you can tell how annoyed his mom is by this idiot. lol shes like wtf is this bitch doing in my kitchen. she cant even cut bacon! LMAO.

[HourGlassbyLove]

i made my arroz and it came out great with sabor but very watery. What did I do wrong? Every time I try to make it, it comes out soupy? Please help. I love this dish:)

[AASU]

Added the link for the recipe. Hope you enjoy!!!

[picantesworld77]

Mine too or it's too hard. My aunt has shown me time and time again I think she wanted to hit me with the spoon. Like cue1523 said they don't tell you wait till all of the water evaporates. Then stir the rice from the bottom up pulling from the sides into the middle. In the recipe that they give here if you go to the link in the sidebar, it said stir every 10 minutes. My Aunt don't even keep going back to the pot. I'm confused.

[picantesworld77]

I forgot to add in this recipe they don't mention the water evaporating, it would be as if you were making regular rice by once the water boils again cover 30-40 minutes on low stirring every 10 minutes until rice is tender. Never heard of such a thing. Just evaporate stir and cook for 25 minutes then call it a day!

[gza34]

@HourGlassbyLove Add more rice if its coming out "soupy" or what we call "amogollado"... its too wet and sticky. Just add more rice in your next receipe... or reduce the amount of water by a cup or two. Add enough rice so that it peeks out of the water just a bit. Like an iceberg. Also, you have to stir it occassionally. Flip the rice from the bottom to the top. Do that about 4-6 times. Once the rice starts "fluffing up."

Hope that was helpful.

[emiluv06]

@HourGlassbyLove The best way to time the rice is let it boil in med/high for the first 10 mins. then after that you stir the rice, get the bottom and bring it to the top. Then lower the heat to low like 3 or 4, then let it cook for another 10 mins. You don't want to stir the rice alot caus it gets amogollado. Alsoi agree w/ (gza 34) you don't have to add so much bacon or ham, that's something that has lots of sodium in it doesn't need so much of it.

[Sweetwater2015]

@HourGlassbyLove dont add tomato paste and no bacon ..you can add chopped ham thou, the tomato paste and the bacon makes your rice mushy

[starburstlauren]

@HourGlassbyLove Hi my name is Maribel very simple to fix next time mesure one of cup water to one cup of rice. So if you are doing 4 cups of rice us 4 cups of water...on high tempeture bring your rice to boil once the water vaporate simiar the rice on low heat for 20 min....if you should have any question email me at Maribelkitchen@aol.com

[madmex1000]

@HourGlassbyLove  Real easy, You need more rice.

[yaoiramenfreak]
