Easiest recipe so far!

[jellomello05]

you are awesome!!! not like the other videos that are like robots. =D

[sophie62426]

I loved watching this video. It felt like I know you and was sitting in your kitchen watching. You're so funny and I loved the interaction between you and Frankie. I liked the recipe and went out today to buy sazon! We don't have Carolina rice in my neck of the woods. The pot looks like it's been around for a long time, huh?

[borgona362]

nice ,,,i enjoyed watching u guys...

[Francheska7778]

OHH!!! I ALMOST FORGOT ADD SOME "GROUND ANNATO" (ACHIOTE MOLIDO EN ESPANOL) ... TOGETHER WITH THE DRY OREGANO AND BAY LEAVES..

[Francheska7778]

ALSO YOU CAN ADD SOME OREGANO AND 3 BAY LEAVES  (HOJAS DE LAUREL EN ESPANOL) BOIL AT LEAST FOR 3 MINUTES AND YOU'LL SEE HOW GREAT THAT ARROZ CON GANDULES IS GONNA TASTE...

[lemyam]

hi princessdiana.happy new year!!i love your cooking.i enjoyed watching you guys..you are so hilarious..

[freakin13guy]

Just a few questions my love..

1) Before you add the rice what the heat setting are the veggies being cooked in low, med? and do you turn on high after the rice is added?

2) How many chorizo links do you use?

[24littlemari]

Omg i used ur coquito recipe and it was good

[sillybutterfly37]

Aww first time seen this video n I already like this lady. So sweet..

[MrBluisa28]

You guys are so funny. I love this video. I love the way you say achote and sazon!!!!!

[r28brown]

[mallatesta22]

hello princessdiana, just wanted to know where are you from, you do not appear to be latino..

[PrincessDiana161]

@mallatesta22 I am from NY. My mom was from PR & dad from Spain

[Hope4DreamKDE]

I love Puerto Rican food.

[MichelleDonnatien]

I love your personality. I have to say I was thoroughly entertained by this video. The food looks delicious. I would use chicken because I don't like spicy food but I have to say you two are hilarious! I loved this video! I can't wait to check out more of your videos!

[PrincessDiana161]

@MichelleDonnatien Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[javixdrummer]

[greenlordd]

Sazon is almost pure MSG lol. Hear attack in a flavor cube !!

[teacupgirrrl3621]

This video is so enjoyable, your personality makes it! I have a question though, When you put the lid over the pot has the liquid evaporated yet or do you cover it while it's still completely liquid? Thank you for making this video:)

[channyysmdx3]

Im a Teenager & I Tryed this Recipe & it was delicous But The only problem i had was that the rice started to burn at the bottom of the pan.

[PrincessDiana161]

@channyysmdx3 lower the flame a bit next time....and actually that burnt part is my fav :)

[twaex3]

@PrincessDiana161 ahhh yes, the concon :)

[PrincessDiana161]

@twaex3 YES! :D

[TheGenesis196]

malisimo!!!! el mejor es el boricua!!! ah y esa olla daba asco!!!

[teacupgirrrl3621]

Do you let the liquid evaporate before covering the pot?

[jamieckkj7]

You guys are great!!!!! Im an Italian/Lebanese girl that was born to cook!!!! I can cook any Italian or Lebanese dish there is but sometimes my 3 boys and I like to try different things (we love spanish and jamaican foods). This recipe rocks!!! Easy and decicious and not very time consuming (thank-God because time is one thing I dont have any extra of!!!! Thanks so much :)

[MsNelly70]

por no lavar tu gandulito te va a encontra un lindo gusanito mi amor vota esa agua que le da mal sabor al arroz usa otra cosa para el sabor como cubitos aprende a cocinar nuestra comida.

[nuttybar9]

you can use salt pork cut up too.

[RocketRodder]

I still love how you say "Chorizo".  "Chorrizo"! :D

[marivien1]

Love the way you teach cooking, enjoyed to the  max. Awesome personality!

[giansatx]

U R GREAT !!!!!!! 

[ashderful]

I made the arroz but I think i used the wrong peppers cause it still tasted like my Mexican rice, I used salt pork. I am making my pernil today finally. I will let you know how it comes out.

[akili80]

Authentic or not, it was perfect!! Super easy to follow and you seem to have a great personality, especially for teaching a girl like me to cook LOL It really was delicious. Thank you soooooo much!

[PrincessDiana161]

@akili80 Glad you liked it sweetie :)

[ashderful]

Awesome! You guys had me cracking up. I am Mexican and I love me some Arroz con gandules. I am about to make my first Pernil. I will try this and let you know how it goes. Thanks.

[PrincessDiana161]

[ashderful]

@PrincessDiana161 Sure come on over, we're in NC. lol

[ashderful]

[ashderful]

@PrincessDiana161 Come on over. We're in NC. lol

[ashderful]

@PrincessDiana161 Sure come on over. We're in N.C. lol

[ashderful]

@PrincessDiana161 Come on over, we're in N.C. lol

[jujuhelo1]

@ashderful I do not recommend you to follow this recipe. It's not a good representation of a Puertorican arroz con gandules. It's missing some ingredients. I did not liked it at all!! :(

[SuperNiqqa2469]

real peurto rican shit

[LiLsXyGuanaco]

LOL love your accent! 

[kylahsmom1]

"btw ((hug)))"...love that!!!!!!!!!

[jefferson1929]

Tell Frankie we want to see a video of him cooking one time. lol

[FaSHiioniista]

The first time I made this it came out perfect. The second and third was MUSH!! LOL I have no idea what Im doing wrong.

[nahiomyjanice]

[PrincessDiana161]

@nahiomyjanice Thanks sweetie :)

[jazzbunny1000]

Thank you so much for this recipe. I'm not a good cook so when my daughter actually liked it, I was so happy. You have such a fun personality, you need your own show on TV. Keep the videos coming!

[tiffdwhit]

OMG U guys are a riot!!!! Recipe looks good plus ur funny..Lmao Thanks

[Imperialdolphin]

Arroz con Gandules is not Spanish. It's Puerto Rican and Dominican. This dish is a must during the Holidays, but I have it all the time. Lawd...is she really using Carolina Rice instead of Goya...OMG? She is friggin hilarious. I am surprised. The rice looks pretty good. Ok...I had my doubts, but I recommend this recipe. Go girl!

[PrincessDiana161]

@Imperialdolphin thank you for appreciating that it's not completely "authentic" but it's a good way for beginners to try it <3

Diana I love this video. It had more than cooking, when you marry an Italian who cracks jokes, you can't help to laugh. You guys are amazing lol :)

[BoricuaBarbieDoll1]

i like this lady shes so funny.. she has the cutest asento..

[anaisbetancourtt]

i just want to say thank you i made this last night and my family and i loved it !!!

[rhdtv2002]

its all in the Sofrito..stay away from the can or bottle Sofrito..buy at a local latino store where they make it fresh. Some restaurants here in Chicago just sell them at their establishment..USe Ham - cook it first or saute..I prefer to cook first seperate then drop it the mix..MMMM...

[Pipistrello]

Funny how I found this again. lol I was showing the kids how you can find how to do ANYTHING on YouTube. I searched "how to make tostones" and this came up after as a recc'd video. They don't believe I know you. :)

[PrincessDiana161]

@Pipistrello Hi Marc!! Hi Kids!! :D

[Pipistrello]

@PrincessDiana161 Oh, be proud of me. I've been making Tostones and I adapted a potato soup to use plantanos instead.  Yeah, it was goooood. I'll have to make a vid once we get into the studio kitchen. Yep, we have one here. lol

[PrincessDiana161]

@AllySmiles201 OMG stop spewing so much venom you bigoted fraction excuse for a woman

[papomalijahlove]

i love arroz con gandules. Great video

[AllySmiles201]

you've been hanging around to many white folks...you lost your Puerto Rican touch...... you sound Italian....

[PrincessDiana161]

@AllySmiles201 that's what happens when you grow up in a white neighborhood :/

[AllySmiles201]

@PrincessDiana161 I What are you talking about? I grew up in a white neighborhood and still live here but I don't forgot who I am and where I came from. Have you ever cooked with a coconut.... it's brown on the outside and white in the inside!

[PrincessDiana161]

@AllySmiles201 you seriously think that by watching one video of me that you know me???? I haven't forgotten who I am or where I came from. Reality check sweetie....YOU DO NOT KNOW ME FROM WATCHING A VIDEO!! At the end of the day we are ALL just people, race is just something that narrow minded bigots like you wave around.

[AllySmiles201]

@PrincessDiana161 well maybe the next time you cook something Puerto Rican... make sure you don't sound like a (come mierda) You can say what ever you want to say but, you know i'm saying the truth... hey look up some Hector Lavoe or El Grand Combo de Puerto Rico.... it might just spark something in you....Have a nice day!!!

[navygabby]

@PrincessDiana161 You tell her princessdiana! you are who you are and people that watch a video and think that they know you and try to judge you are the ones that are uncomfortable with theirselves. Im a jersey girl and always will be at heart. I think that your video is hilarious with you n "franky" and this dish is amazing. You go ahead girl and do the damn thing dont worry about these haters.

[csunshine66]

[junito1980]

@Pattycuac Jajaja! Mi comentario fue para otra persona que dijo que Diana lo via hecho mal. Pero verdaderamente es una receta buenisima para la gente que nunca lo has hecho o para quien lo quieres cocinar rapido. Asi que estoy agradecido por esta receta porque me has ayudado mucho. En el 2008...con este video yo hices arroz y gandules para la primera vez y desde esa vez yo has continuado usando esta receta y lo tengo en mi favoritos de Youtube para que mis amigos lo puedan ver.

[pablochu8]

LOL arroz con pollo! Loved it!  Thanks

[bettyboop17d]

why are ppl so uptight about the exact way to make a dish. sometime cooks like to add their own mix/ twist to a recipe. its what makes it special and their own. can you imagine everyone making everything the exact same way??? i cook for my family and i have my own way of making this dish my family loves it. those of us who enjoy cooking love the creative aspect. yes recipes are at times made to be exact but most can be changed up a bit.

[lpolanco3]

ESO ESTA MAL ECHO Y EL SOFRITO NO SE HACE ASI OMG

[PrincessDiana161]

@lpolanco3 then dont make it this way.....it's done this way to make the recipe accessible to anyone anywhere....lighten up!

[junito1980]

@lpolanco3 La manera en que Diana cocino el arroz y gandules fue para hacerlo facil pa la gente que no lo saben hacer. Si no te gusta la manera que ella lo cocino...tu no tienes que cocinarla como ella lo cocino. Ella te lo dijo en ingles...y yo te lo digo en espanol!!!

[corasalv93]

@lpolanco3 as long it taste good thats all that matters dude ! my friends love it !

[tonigirl4u1]

I LOVE YOU ,,,LOL YOUR A FUNNY LADY..IT MAKES IT ENJOYABLE TO WATCH...DO YOU KNOW HOW TO MAKE THE OLD FASHION CANDY STYLE RICE PUDDING?THANKS

[PrincessDiana161]

[x1BeBecillaX3]

I wanna THANK YOU PRINCESS DIANA161 for this easy video Im 22 and i dont know any cooking at all im learning lol and this is my favorite plate im puertorican and this was my first sucessful plate in my house!!!! once again thankkk uu !! :)) and love your vids!!

[PrincessDiana161]

@x1BeBecillaX3 I'm so glad you liked it.....it's not totally authentic but it's easy and taste pretty good....I'm all about making the kitchen experience easy for myself & others :)

(((hug)))

[scorpion0904]

Love it quick easy to make and it taste really good. don't pay attention to the haters. i also tried your coquito recipe that is freaking good!!!

[rachann87]

sound Italian: "you want some chorizo in there Frankie... How is that baby?"

[PORSUPUESTO1980]

I haven't seen in my life "arroz con gandules or gandures",(remember both terms are correct) with sausage and fried tomatoes. We must prepare it with with Puerto Rican ham or Canarian ham. I also think that the amount of season was too much for the rice. We want to see just some colour. If we forget the olives and red sweet pepper (pimiento morrón o pimientos del piquillo) we're forgetting the recipe's main ingredients. As a half Spaniard just like me you should know it.

[PrincessDiana161]

This is just my quick version that makes it easy for everyone to prepare, especially first time cooks.

[PinupCandy]

@PORSUPUESTO1980 Everyone prepares it differently. That's what makes it a personal dish. Each person who cooks it, does it their own way. No way is right or wrong. I do mine completely different, but it doesnt mean that mine tastes better or hers tastes better. This is her way and how her and her family and friends enjoy it.

[Darckariel]

Puertorra y no te gusta el arroz con gandules!! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY YYY!!!!!!!!!! by the way if u wanna have a really god arroz con gandules use gandules that are not caned, also add a tablespoon of grated green bananas it will taste even better with that touch of heavenly puerto rican flavor

[PrincessDiana161]

@Darckariel I do like it. My dad was from Spain and my mom was Purto Rican and he was a chef, so the foods I grew up with were more Mediterranean, more like Italian food. But I do love Puerto Rican food too.

BTW your recipe sounds wonderful and I will try it

(((hug)))

[xep00]

2:45 "Frankie is a walking accident" *long sigh* lol. you guys are hilarious. I needed to master this dish..so I can save money.

[georgelewis]

@PrincessDiana161 , You dont like spanish food ? Why cook Arroz con Gandules?

[PrincessDiana161]

@georgelewis I like it....just not one of my favorite types of foods. I cook it because my daughter loves it

[barbr316]

@PrincessDiana161 You did not know what you were doing,you think it was arroz con gandules. I feel bad for your daughter who is REALLY MISSING OUT, if she love that dish. Do your daughter a favor get the REAL Recipe and leave NOTHING OUT. The secret is it will NEVER TASTE like arroz con gandules if you are not a true native. You learn by your mistakes.

[PrincessDiana161]

@barbr316 and I feel bad for you that you feel the need to spew instead of understanding that the video was made to make the recipe accessible to people that might not be able to get the authentic ingredients in their area....shame on you.

Of course it wont taste exactly like it came out of a Puerto Rican kitchen you dolt...but it comes damn close for them.

Now run along...I'm sure there are many other videos out there you're dying to critique and spew more venom on.

BTW (((hug)))

[kylahsmom1]

@PrincessDiana161 good for you! you are so right!! ..some folks just like to be negative!! so sad....I made your version and it was delicious!!!!

[JoyeuseXI]

@fattycakes23 Sofrito is good on anything...like...anything.

[antilofa]

el dr es gandul!!

[Sotyy2k]

Great recipe! U guys are so cute. Tries pollo guisado the other day (dominican dish). Can u give any tips on how to get the chicken not so dry and trashy? Gracias!

[aurayon]

I miss your cooking videos!!! Come back! :)

[norman1bc]

omg god this dont seem like the real deal but Im not puerto rican so I wouldnt know but it seems good for me... love your attitude so much fun 80) any time you make your food happy it comes out better..

[ThePickledTheif]

Mm..

You use meat? It seems like a lot of people do but everyone in my family use uses olives and nothing else really.

[Nadine91273]

This is doesn't seem horrible but it's not the real deal. There is no way that tastes better than mines. I'm just sayin'

[PrincessDiana161]

@Nadine91273 I'm sure it doesn't...jus sayin :)

[Nadine91273]

@PrincessDiana161 Well that was sweet of you. You must be a cool person to make that comment to someone who was being kinda bitchy. Cheers to you!

[oweevega]

I really like this video.

[virtudes2486]

ARROZ CON GUANDULES , SPANISH FOOD , WHERE SHE GETS THAT FROM . ARROZ CON GUANDULES DOMINICAN - CARRIBEAN FOOD

[MartyMcFly700]

where the hell is the Sofrito?!!! that's not real arroz con gandules :(

[JessSantos]

@MartyMcFly700 some people make their own sofrito.. I used this recipe it came out really good!

[ticky468]

i've watched this vid like 100 times just to listen to her talk she seems so warm and inviting lol #random

[medellinnica]

i love arroz con gandules, it's so delicious.... i'm enjoying ur video ur so funny guys....

[wooooromeo]

you're really entertaining.

[morenia20]

I have hooked up all my friends with this dish. My Russian, Chinese, polish, Americans, Belorussians, and Indians friends love love my rice. She has it right except for something. She didn't add recao, or for those who live here, cilantro. The magic of this dish is the sofrito, and without cilantro is lil bland. Personally is my favorite dish, can eat this everyday all day.

[Diabolik771]

Saison is MSG

[XxKuRoTsUbAsAxX]

@Diabolik771 Well we all have to die sooner or later. =/

[joannitabonita]

Thank you for the suggestion:) I favorited the vid & am going to recommend it!

[joannitabonita]

I want to make this... i wanna use half a tablespoon of recaito ... do u suggest it?

[PrincessDiana161]

@joannitabonita sure...make it your own and add the things you like (((hug)))

Sazon is
