Wow, I am really shocked at all the hateful, disrespectful comments. Recipes have variations, he mentioned he is doing a Caribbean version, so he is using other ingredients. The man is sharing his knowledge, he is an older person, have respect. Move on to other videos, but don't insult people for sharing a recipe.
Nicely done! I grew up eating this. I need to learn to make it so I'm gland I found your channel. The yellow rice I make it exactly like yours and we call it "arroz con nada" but the sofrito gives it a tremendous flavor. Thanks for sharing your recipe. WEPA!
Awesome recipe! By the way, if you can’t find culantro in your area, cut off the stems from your cilantro, tie them with a piece of twine, ala bouquet garni, and cook them in the stock. Use the cilantro leaves in the final stages of cooking.
Maduros is a favourite of our too! Like um very ripe but not black. Of course I’ve not found much difference in flavour. Yellow or black they are perfectly sweet.
Between the 2 Cuban "mamis" (friends' mothers) & one Puerto Rican "mami" who introduced me to Cuban and Puerto Rican cuisine, not ONE of them ever used Cilantro in their ropa vieja, arroz con pollo or guisos. How come? They came from (originally) Matanzas & Habana in Cuba and Guayanabo in Puerto Rico so they cooked the "real thing" but neither of them ever used cilantro.
Well the title of the video does not say Cuban Rosa Veja. It just says Ropa Veja maybe that’s why....mind you I fast forward thou lots of parts of the video. But I would normally make it with cilantro too because In PR cooking it’s part of the sofrito. Is culantro part of a authentic Ropa Veja?
Who gives a fuck, every Cuban I know uses it and It's used throughout Cuba. Watkins i guess that would be the dumbass ghetto Watkins. This old guy is a class act and he knows his shit.
In Puerto Rico we call "Recao" to the long leaf Cilantro, you saw those long green leaves, it has a more pungent flavor than the cilantro you know wich comes in a bunch, the cilantro you know has smaller leaves and looks like parsley. We use both to make our sofrito.
laughing watching this guy first off I am 59 years old today I have never seen my mother or any relative making any kind of Cuban food using first off "Celery" second using worcestershire sauce third Cilantro so having said this this guy and meathead! sofrito is easy Pepper, Garlic, Oregano, Parsley, Onion, Tomato, Salt, vegetable oil I like to add olives and I use Olive oil instead of vegetable oil. My mom house was never with out onions green olives tomatoes garlic green peppers she could make a meal in 30 minutes with nothing. worcestershire sauce really?

OMG...why did I not know you had gotten your own channel?!!! So glad I stumbled on it...que rico!!!!!
Maduros is a favourite of our too! Like um very ripe but not black. Of course I’ve not found much difference in flavour. Yellow or black they are perfectly sweet.
Beautiful dish! Great plating!
Love this video. Please make more :)
Yeah I always sneeze when I’m making cubano. Must be the pepper.
I was taught to fry plantains 1x. Take them out. Mash each one, refry again ..take out..enjoy. Everyone cooks different.
Those that you make are called Tostones. I like those as well as plátanos fritos.
@@barbc38 yup Tostones..
i havent seen you taste anything...but looks delicious
This looks great. Bummed there hasn't been a video in a couple years and only 3 total. :(
Great job, Great 1st video. Can't wait to see the rest!!
Make sure you customize your TH-cam channel for a nice custom look.
Delicious
THE MEAT DOES NOT LOOK SHREDDED BUT BIG CHUNKS INSTEAD... STILL A NICE DISH.
What is that other green you are using next to the cilantro? I can't make out the pronouncation. Thanks
nice
It would be nice to remove the music and enjoy just his voice.
Did you add spices and vegetable items as well to the stew? In the beginning
Senor Chef Rodrigues where's all the rest of the videos?
what's the name of the green leaf he chops up after the cilantro?
+ncgallagher ------that was 2 bunches of cilantro
Recao
Its a 4yr old vid..where r u?

Phyllis Watkins If they used a prepared sofrito or recaito from a jar or can then then cilantro is in there
Cubans dont typically use cilantro in their cooking.

Maybe "he" likes cilantro. If you don't like cilantro omit it. Not all chefs use the exact same ingredients for a recipe. Happy cooking!

When does he add the Worcestershire sauce?
what vegetable is "krekau" mentioned at :41 seconds in
barrel1808 it's "recado " or recao in slang. Basically a mixture of veggies like cilantro, peppers, celery, garlic, onions etc
I believe it's culantro in English. It adds to the taste but not absolutely necessary if u can't find it.
it is culantro.. tastes like cilantro but richer
Looks like epazote

You should have at least told us measurements for how many you were cooking for....other than that looks good
You make rope vieja just like me and I'm cuban, everything looks delicious but, the music is a bit annoying when your talking!😊
Where are the VEGGIES?
Can't hear the direction over the bad music
Turmeric??? Ropa vieja??? Wtf???
Adobo ? Cilantro? No, no, no, no!

I suffer watching this. Yellow rices? Yes indeed but not arroz Amarillo Cuban nor puertorican nor Dominican but just yellow rice.
Spanishhhhhhhhhhhhh pleases.ssshit..No entender nada....eso ser una receta important....yo querer espanol.

You're wrong. Msg isn't bad, like you think. Science has proven that wrong.
God Bless Goya Saizon
He said cumin ewwwwww

For Cuban rice, it's just easy to use the Vigo brand. Everything is already there.
