  • My 7 tips for making perfect chicken pelau every time. Chris De La Rosa of CaribbeanPot.com shares his top tips for making chicken pelau as it's done in the southern Caribbean, especially Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Grenada, Dominica, Antigua, St Kitts and Guyana. Sometimes also called cookup rice, pelau is a tasty one pot dish with rice and usually a meat (Chicken in this case), with pigeon peas, carrots, seasoned with Caribbean herbs and spices, before being simmered in coconut milk.
    Here's a vegetarian version recipe of pelau:

    I have never had this dish but I will definitely make it, really love one pot cooking save a lot of time for me I like brown rice than white and has brown rice takes longer to cook I would soak my rice overnight as well as the chicken and when buying tin beans or peas i would buy them in water.

  • @SweetTea742
    @SweetTea742 8 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    Great tips Chris, especially the fresh coconut milk and the staple Golden Ray. One thing I would like to mention is adding a whole Scotch Bonnet Pepper to the pot for the last five minutes of cooking. Not to let it burst... Just that piquant flavour :)

    • @annmarieb987
      @annmarieb987 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you are going on a "Conference" I assume that its for business, so your company should pay for a nice hotel in a safe area, don't know much about "motels" in Trinidad, but the Hilton, Hyatt and Radisson are great options.

    His cooking is just great! I have one thing in which I beg to differ. The type of rice. Trinis always make a big mistake here. He used WHITE parboiled rice. When white rice is parboiled (in the husk) it ends up brown looking. Now on the other hand we have BROWN rice. This is a different entity. It takes 1 hour to cook in a pot but 15 minutes in the pressure cooker. BROWN rice is recommended for DIABETICS. Only a small portion can be eaten at a time. It fills extremely fast. I am DIABETIC so I know. So my fellow Utubers. Call the thing by the proper name. Upon discovery of Diabetes is me..my doctor recommended BROWN rice. It is not at all PARBOILED. I even find grains with husk or the daddy in it. If Barbarians should follow the tips of chef Chris they would be horribly disappointed....rice wise. Parboiled rice gets its brown colour from being scaled or steamed in its brown husk. Love to you chef Chris and to all Utubers.

  • @62halee
    @62halee 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    Most newbies struggle with getting the right salt balance in a pelau.
    Most times the salt is too less because the saltiness is absorbed by the starchy rice.
    Make sure to add some extra salt before turning and covering pot. The liquid should be somewhat more salty than less.The dab of salted butter might not always be quite enough. Just saying......
    PS..... after covering the pot.....turn the fire down to a bare minimum to prevent the bottom from burning. Do not reopen to check after the pot is covered. The internal steam is required for cooking.
    Good Luck! :)

    Awesome video ! Thank you! Chris you make it look easy. Oh gosh out of all the back home recipes this one scares me the most. My rices comes out to soft and burns on the bottom of the pot. Is there a way I could add already half cooked rice separately to the pot?If so, when would I add the rice to the pot?
    Any suggestions?

    You hit it in the head. I use grind seasoning, shredded pumpkin, ginger and no butter. When using can peas throw away the water it makes the rice sticky. Love your drying down the meat. Your a boss. I use less water and a lower fire. Keep up the good work.

    I always had trouble with the texture, but my neighbor who caters Trini food in California USA, clued me in. Put it in the oven after you add the rice and liquid. Perfect every time. Pumpkin instead of carrots, can't get Golden Ray, so a piece of smoked meat. YES!!! Keep it coming Chris!!
