- Learn to Make Authentic Puerto Rican Arroz con Gandules. This recipe is sure to have all your guest or family wanting more. In this recipe Im using Pork and cooking Ham. But you can make it without. Just make sure to add a little more salt. All questions or comments are welcomed. Buen Provecho
None of my Rican exes, brothers or dad ever cooked. I admire when PRican men cook. It's amazing because I never experienced it. That's why I like watching the videos.
+Carmen Nieves Awe thank you . I love to cook as well as do almost everything. You should never limit yourself to what you can do . Being a woman or man. Thank you once again for watching! Please visit our website www.thefreakinricanrestaurant.com
Carmen Nieves. So true but times are changing: today a lot of men not only cook but clean and take care of their own children.
@@jamesjacocks6221 Single Puerto Rican gang.
The Freakin Rican Restaurant Love this recipe. I make it every year for my family in the holidays and they love it. I wanna know how do you reheat the arroz con Gandules? I put in an aluminum pan after I cook it.
Carmen Nieves yea but he’s basically a woman, you probably dated hetero men.
Hi. Just wanted you to know that I had this dish at a friends home who's Puerto Rican. His mom made the dish and it was fabulous. I've asked for the recipe for a couple of weeks and I never got it from her. Saw your video and made it exactly the way you did. Even down to the making a hill at the end. Let me just say that it was 50 times better then my friends Mom's dish. I made it for a Cleveland browns football party today and it was the hit of all the dishes. Thank you so much. Maybe you can help with the browns winning a game now.
Go Dawg Pound🤗
Ngl if you slandered my my moms arroz like this on the internet, fades gettin run
Cleveland Brown?
I lived in Chicago right next to Puerto Ricans family they would make this dish every day I would beg for a bowl they used a sausage but I don’t know what kind I saw this recipe and it’s been like 50 yrs but I’m
Ready to make it now
My grandma made the mountain with the rice and i kept that tradition. Thanks for making me smile❤
This recipe is PERFECT!! My boyfriend is Puerto Rican and he thought it was exquisite. A few recommendations for people like me who enjoy a good shortcut:
Gandules - if you are using canned gandules, there's no need to heat them up beforehand or add extra water. Just pour one can in at the same time the chef in the video adds his gandules (including the water that's in the can) and you'll be fine.
Sofrito - I used the pre-made tomato based sofrito by Goya and it turned out great. I also still added the tomato sauce as directed in this recipe.
Banana leaves - I wasn't able to find these, and it came out just fine without
WARNING: If you use canned gandules and/or store-bought sofrito like I did, you will need to decrease the amount of salt you use!
Thank you for posting this recipe!
Bottled sofrito is nasty! Do yourself a favor and make your own!
So nice to see the traditions being kept. Too many of the younger generations that weren't born on the island don't know how to make authentic Boricua food. Gracias for teaching them lol. Bendiciones.
+Jeannette Rodriguez Thank you for watching. Its a good feeling to do this and people actually watch it and give positive feedback. Thank you . I love you for following us. !
Jeannette Rodriguez I was not born on the island but my tia always taught me as a child and now I teach my half puertorican children the tradition like u said it should be kept 🙏😘
I thought the same thing. Lol
I'm in my 50's and my mother is the last of the Mohican's when it comes to the traditional foods. If my sister and I and maybe for a few of my cousin's don't pass it onward our traditional Puerto Rican foods die with us. It's so sad.
Denise Cardona you should definitely pass it on it’s good to pass on traditions
I used Banana leaves for the first time in my rice. It turned out better than ever. Thank you for that tip.
I love your style of cooking.
My mom never showed me how to make arroz con gandules nd now I know how thanks to you ☺
Your recipes are on point thank you so much
I'm part Mexican & Idk if it is just older Mexicans don't like to share their recipes,but I found the same kind of behavior with PR women with their recipes also. I've had to learn how to cook without their damn recipes. I can cook both Mexican & PR food. I really like your recipes. Thank you for sharing your recipes. I'm sure my family will enjoy your recipes.
Senovia3728 it’s an honor to share recipes! Why die with them?
Italian women are the same, And I’m both RC and Italian.. crazy cuz I never learned from anyone how to cook RC food, I went all by how it taste for years.. now that I watch on TH-cam, I’m shocked at well I’ve done.. 💃.. now I can fine tune.. love your recipes Freaking Rican..
I really want to learn how to make Pasteles with pork and olives
The thing I found it’s all in your energy and feelings and that is where the magic comes from. Three people can follow same exact recipe and they won’t taste the same. Don’t be afraid to share because it’s all in the love.
We been colonized and stolen from all thru history, not everyone is in a rush to share their culture like that
I went shopping and I'm Puerto Rican but I never felt so happy shopping food that's on your recipes. My mom would be upset but truth is I just felt so happy my refrigerator is full of food I haven't made in a very long time with new ingredients thanks to you 😍💋
Great recipe! This is how I am use to it on the Island. The banana leaves are key.......making it today......thank you for sharing.
Loved this video!! I could almost smell the finished rice! Thanks from a PR kid from NYC now living out my retirement in Dallas, Texas.
Recipe:
16 oz gandulez (pigeon peas)
1/3 cup canola oil
Quarter pound salted pork
Quarter pound of cooking ham
2 tablespoons of sofrito
One envolope of sazon
1/2 teaspoon or oregano
1/2 teaspoon of cumin
1 1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper
1/4 cup of tomato sauce
3 cups of rice
3 cups of water
2-3 bay leaves
1/4 cup sliced spanish olives
Thank you
The salt is 1 1/2 tablespoons not teaspoon. But thank you!!!
Thank you!
@@hazelbotedapgonzalez6172 that a lot of salt maybe he said it wrong
I don’t even use salt since the salt pork and ham already salty
Mom made the mountain. I guess more arroz and less pegao. I also do mountains when eating a pint of ice cream. I know, can't stop. Thanks for las clases de cocinar.
This right here, this recipe, is the national championship food of Puerto Rico! Awesomeness! I rocked it perfectly the first time. Now I need some pernil and tostones and maduros and some beans and some pasteles............ ;) This rice is a meal all on its own and is fabulous. Thank you again and God bless.
You are awesome! Im a 65 year old puerto rican grandma who makes all the traditional dishes that my kids and grandchildren enjoy! You are definitely true to our unique traditional cooking! My sofrito is exactly like yours! God bless you! Sigue adelante!
Excellent video and recipe!!! gracias!!

Made the best arroz con pollo today thanks to you! I also warmed up the pasteles I bought from you last week and made a salad.The best damn Sunday dinner ever! I love your pasteles. They're made the way I love. The way my best friend's abuela from P.R. used to make them. Wish you the very best and can't wait for the restaurant opening. Much love.

I love the authenticity of this video. Looks so delicious I can almost smell it through the phone. 💜💜💜
You remind me of my nephew soo much. My type of channel. Love how relatable it is down to the broom resting by the window in back. Takes me back to my childhood in NYC 🗽 with mom, my titi and abuela. I’m going to use your tips to make my rice tomorrow for my friendsgiving luncheon at work, ty freakin Rican
When my grandma used to call it salt poke 😂 on another note it’s amazing how other people tell you to use something different in your family recipe! FOH 😂 i love this channel and love watching you cook poppy keep up the good work tho you see Atlanta on my profile I’m from Brooklyn!!

Best arroz con gondules recipe on TH-cam!! Perfect texture and flavor
I made this several weeks ago and my fiance loved it so much that I now make it every Sunday! Thank you so much for the great recipe! I love that you shared your Mother's little trick for rice by making a "mountain" ! Rice comes out perfect everytime and the banana leaves just really give that special flavor to me!!
I tried your Puerto Rican Arroz Con Gandules recipe and it came out Freakin Delicious!! I also made your recipe for Sofrito. Thank you for sharing. I look forward to trying some of your other recipes.
Freaking Rican I want to thank you soooo much. for this years (2019) Thanksgiving meal, I made your version of arroz con gandules and pernil, and let me tell you it was amazing! Everyone kept coming back for more. This was my first time making these dishes and it made me feel wonderful. I could not stop talking about your channel and I reccomend them to watch and subscribe to my sister and friends.👏👏👍👍👍
These are the 2 I plan to make as well
Love how you cook.
The best recipe!! My rice always comes out sticky and this is the first time it doesn’t! Thank you!! So delicious
Just discovered your channel and followed your directions for roast pork. My kitchen smells wonderful. My husband is from Puerto Rico and lives in Canada with me. My MIL taught me how to make rice and beans, same ingredients, except different method. I am enjoying your cooking technique for the Rice & Beans, however, I am using Pink Beans. I do not have banana leaves but will be searching for some soon. Looking forward to your next video. Sandie
Awesome recipe!! Just a heads up bro, get rid of that cutting board, it dulls your knife with every pass you make, that's why it looks like your knives struggle to cut through things. Wood or plastic...is the only way to go.
BUT, marble is easier to sterilize
The Traveler That’s why you replace the cutting board very so often. The marble on is beautiful but it does mess up you knives. This recipe is AWESOME!
I followed your instruction on youtube my PR Arroz Con Gandules is ABSOLUTLEY FANTASTIC!! Thank you so much!! YOU ROCK MY FREAKIN PUERTO RICAN RICAN CHEF!!
Thank you for inviting me into kitchen and sharing this amazing Puerto Rican rice recipe!!! I always wanted to learn how to make it and let me just say I nailed it my husband and boys loved it!!!!
Since my father could not always find banana leaves, he would use half of a damp paper bag instead to cover the rice. Same concept just an easy solution when you are without. Thank you for the recipe, I look forward to making it myself.
+Odaris Brunk How are you ? Im glad you enjoyed the recipe. Yes we must be creative at times..lol My reason for the banana leaves is the rich flavor it gives the rice. I love you for watching. Thank You
+Shekira Rivera How are you? Im glad you enjoyed the video . Please view the others they're just as good.. I love you for following!
When you can't find banana leaves you can boil a green plantain in water and use it without the platano to cook the rice. My mom did that.
you can find it in the frozen section, especially in Asian store
I like your style, quick concise and easy. Keep up the good Freaking Rican cooking!
Thank you so much Joe. Where are you from?
Reason for washing the rice
Acabo de prepararlo y me quedó riquísimo, 👌a mi esposo le encanta este arroz. Gracias por tu receta. Saludos desde México.
Dios mio eso se ve espectacular!!!
made this for my pr boyfriend and he was in heaven, he said it tasted just like his mom's

The Freakin Rican Restaurant - What temp did you cook the rice on and for a total of how many minutes altogether???
lol I would just go put music on run to my room and eat,sing it's so good
he did 15 and then 20
thank you so very much. this is my first time making arroz con gandules. I'm from Colombia, so I didn't have a clue of how to make it.
+Lorena Gonzalez Omg colombia how I love your pan de bono amongst other things.. Que viva Colombia! So you made the recipe? I love you for following! Check us out on fb. facebook.com/thefreakinricanrestaurant
+The Freakin Rican Restaurant. it came out super good!! thanks again. and yes pan de bono are delicious.
THANK YOU FOR THIS RECIPE!! I FOLLOWED THE RECIPE BUT OMITTED THE SALT PORK AND HAM AND IT CAM E OUT AMAZING. I MADE THE MISTAKE OF ADDING ONLY HALF A CUP OF WATER TO GANDULES BUT NO DAMAGE DONE. I SERVED THIS WITH A PERNIL AND MY DAUGHTER AND I LOVED IT. WE BOTH AGREED IT WAS THE BEST RICE I EVER MADE. I AM NOW COOKING LIKE A FREAKIN RICAN - BUEN PROVECHO!!
I enjoy watching your channel.. I’m Puerto Rican and totally relate to the memories of moms cooking
(You’re smile says it all!). I love to cook all sorts of styles of food... but PR cooking is in my heart!
Thanks for sharing.
PR Rice is the best rice! And I speak with a level of authority as I'm Norwegian!
Norwegians eat fish. Nothing but fish. :(
LOL
😂😂😂
I love fish.
😂 have you tried to make it?
I believe ya. I was looking up which nations ate the most fish a few days ago thinking it was Japan. You guys were #1 fish eaters worldwide. Japan came in 3rd.
Tembleque next. Shout out from Brooklyn.
Loved the step by step instructions. Looks delicious.
You are a tipical Puerto Rican cook,'i love it.
Dude, omg! when you made that little mound with the rice it reminded me sooo much of the Moms, she always did that with her rice too, now you schooled me on the banana leaves with the rice, i bet the banana leaves be killin' the arroz con gandules with Sabor Mmmm! it looks good. I'm a try it your way the next time i make arroz con gandules. BORICUA SIEMPRE!!
That looks freakin Rican slammmin!! Lol.. love your channel I look forward to seeing more yummy vids.
+Maribel Torres How are you ? It really is slammin. Any and everyone you have over will fall in love and not stop talking about your cooking.. Let me know when you try it.. buen provecho. I love you for following!
I made it and I give it 5 stars. Fluffy and so tasty. Thank you for sharing your video.
I love the way your rice looks, just the way I like it.
Love your channel in the future can you list the ingredients..
I usually heat my light olive oil with cumin seeds then sauté
my chopped colorful peppers and onions and garlic then add my sofrito sauté that adding dry oregano and Badía sazón no msg. I add my gandules cook that then in my rice cooker I pour my gandules with the water and sauté sofrito and add the rice mix well. Taste for salt. I don't add tomato sauce. Then cover rice cooker with glass lid let cook till dry. I chop fine cilantro and add to dry rice mix well and cover again let cook in rice cooker. That's how I cook my rice/ gandules kosher style!
love her! GOD BLESS HER!!!
I recently made this and it was awesome!! Thank you so much for sharing 😊
Can't forget the olives!!
Good one, I almost forgot the olives too!
Efrain Velazquez 😂🤣
Hi can you do a receipe for fried Chuletas,and also breaded Chuletas. Men never come out good thank u!
I love the way you explain things. Food looks good as always.
This looks fabulous! I've only had this once and I loved it. Definitely going to try and make this. Thanks for sharing!
Do you ever do the rice so you get the pegao on the bottom? My most like part!!! And you did eat one of the olives!!!! This makes me want to cook right now!!
whats pegao?
karla jetson the burnt part on the bottom of the pan.
Faith Derek oh yeah its good :) I love it
The pegao is the best part! My mom and I always split it.

I was just about to ask you do u wash the rice because I'm PR and it's like a sin in my family if you don't wash the rice...lol
The mountain thing helps the rice cook evenly. Only thing is you missing the right pot... But looks yummy :-)
+Adelita Rivera hahahaha that's funny :)
@ArtistAIRivera on IG
😂
+Adelita Rivera In some tropical Islands you need to wash the rice that if you getting it local cause it has all kinds of stuff in it, but if you are in the States there no need to wash the rice, matter of fact! if you wash the rice you washing off the vitamins and nutrients.
+robert castello I know when you wash it you washing away the nutrients but to me the rice taste dif if you don't. I don't need to be getting any nutrients from my rice I get them from other foods.
Looks absolutely delicious ! I'm actually at the grocery store watching this and grabbing all of the ingredients ! I'll be making this as a side for dinner tonight ! I know my boyfriend, daughter and I will enjoy this very much. Thankyou
Nice work. Looks delicious. Thank you so much. Can't wait to try.
Is there somewhere that I can go to see a written recipe?
Have you tried making it with achiote oil.
I used about a 1/3 cup achiote oil that I made and I also added 1/2 tablespoon of tumeric powder and 1 packet of Goya Sazon/ azafran ( saffron)! Not sure if it’s the correct way but it has a great flavor and beautiful color without being crazy salty! :)
That looks amazing. All the retired Cuban restaurants here in Key West use to serve rice like that back in the day. Thanks for the video.
Thank you Carmen! You are a blessing! I made your rice and it was delicious!!! I hope you continue adding more videos.
How come you're not making this in a CALDERO???? Just curious .....
TELL HIM
Was thinking the same thing. I’m not puertorican and I use a CALDERO
@@orlandovictory I used a paella pan I got from Spain and it came out perfectly. I usually use a caldero but will not in the future for this recipe.
Question what kind of rice do u use ?
I’ve made this recipe twice. Perfect both times! Finally found my go-to recipe. I just lessen the salt to 1 Tbs and used canned gandules.
Thank you Chef Derek for this recipe! Best arroz con gandules I ever made. My family loved it! Mucho sabor gracias!!!
What brand of rice do you use my man?
Goya medium grain
Hi! just wondering, do u use long grain rice? Also, can I use canned gandules? This looks delicious, much better than how I normally cook it!
Jessica Arango you can use canned guandules. I use long grain rice. I am not a fan of medium grain cause the amount of water needed changes and I end up with mushy rice sometimes.
Jessica Arango yes, you can use gandules in can, but the frozen are better
Typically, in this dish medium grain rice is used. However, I have used long as well. But I totally loved the consistency of the medium grain. It taste way better to me..
Thanks for the recipe. It’s delicious!
Made this yesterday and it came out perfect 👌🏾 thank you so much
omg i love you but please get a wood cutting board ! lol
Exactly what i was thinking!
Wow, man, you are ruining a good knife. You might as well go out and get a rock for a cutting board. Get a wooden one.
brook lyn I did. Lol. It's was one of my first videos. Lol thank you so much for watching.
Plastic is what's up to health code for cooking. Wood will harvest bacteria. Plastic you can use bleach on to kill salmonella.
@@danp7463 yep, my thought exactly always plastic cutting board when working with meat.
Awesome content!! Love love your videos!! Your not a pure Puerto Rican if you don't make the mountain! Go Mom!! Thanks you for creating such fabulous videos!! God bless you!! -Christine
I love all of your videos. 🤗❤️
God bless you!
love you recipes thank you !!!
