Sade, Pelau is one of my favorite dishes, It's so good! 😊
Thanks so much!! Will definitely give it a try.
You are very welcome! Hope you like it!
This was one of my favorite dishes my mother made for me. She has dimentia now. So I'm trying to cook bajan meals for her. I am cooking this right now. And the flavor is delicious. Thanks
AWWWW! You are so welcome! I am sorry to hear about your mom. It's tough to see your loved one whose life has been changed by dementia. Symptom wish interferes with one's ability to function and think. Hope your mom is able to enjoy the Palau. Have a great day
Good recipe. My Trinidadian cousin adds the rice and let it saute with the meat after it has browned and then add water. Cooking lamb pelau today.
Hi Sonia that sounds great! guess what I'm cooking today, Lamb also but a stew lol. The good thing about pelau is everyone has they own way of making it, the good thing about it is, it always taste great in the end because of all those great flavors coming together.Thanks for watching.
That is good and I am sure it taste good too. Now I am going to try it.❤️❤️💯💯👍🏾
Hi Glenford, it did taste good, very tasty you're going to enjoy it.
This looks beautiful 👍👍👍💕
Hi Akash, Thank you so much 😊 I taste just as good as it looks
Yummy Tina!!! It looks good. I hate my Pelau video; I can't wait to take down some of them; I look so tired, lol; so much was going on at one point but I have learned quite a bit and it gets better with time. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Xo
Very nice indeed the chef simplifies as she teaches
Thank you Marva!
Hi Paulette we grow and learn as time goes by. Those old videos remind you of how far you've come, no need to remove any. In the beginning I had no idea what I was doing now I am more confidence, my old videos now stand as a reminder. I have a long way to go. Thanks for watching. Be bless.
??? Lol. 🤨🤨
Tinaraine You are so right, I guess we’ve all been there. Thanks 🙏 so much!!!
Thanks for these recipes; I plan to try all of them, starting with Pudding and Souse. And please forgive this red-blooded Bajan. My first impression of your kitchen was "what a beautiful woman!" .
Awww! Thank you so much! When you try your recipes please let me know how there come out for you, and thanks for watching.
wow the meat and the vegs alone looks great.
It add such flavor to the meal. Thanks for watching
Chicken Pelau is one of my favorites! I made some earlier today. That's what I use! Unsalted chicken stock
Good morning Thekeyman! Sounds great! I love Pelau and a good chicken stock always amp up the flavor. I am so glad you were able to watch, thank you so much for stopping by. Have a fantastic day.
Barbadian author Austin Clarke devoted a chapter in his book Pigtails n' Breadfruit to Pelau. Mr. Clark wrote, "The Trinidadians invent it ...But we in Barbados perfect it! Nothing is wrong with a little picong! But to add insult to injury he proceeded to provide a "Trinidad" recipe devoid of pigeon peas and coconut milk. Sorry if I was very direct. I appreciate your bubbly personality, cooking videos and your channel.
Hello Lisbet, thank you so much for watching. One thing I know for sure is Bajans know there way around the kitchen. 😍
They say imitation is the greatest form of flattery.
Looks delicious. Gonna try it one day. Your seasoning I love how you put them in the chicken, must taste real nice.💕🇬🇧

Hello I watched the video but I did not comment the same time, was a bit busy with some stuff, but great demo I have never done my peelau like that. Thanks for the fresh perspective, it was clean and simple actually I am about to cook it right now. Fantastic job as usual, keep the good work up.
Thank you Joyann! Everyone have their own way of making it, This way there are so many flavors combine, it makes it very delicious.Let me know how yours comes out.
@@Tinaraine So I did my peelau and it came out great so much so that my hubby wants me to do it again, so I am doing it again for him, he can't stop talking about it lol
You are a very good cook, keep it up.
Thank you so much Ellen!

Here is the video for Bajan seasoning. Hope you like itth-cam.com/video/-6AebtDr3sw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2jalnu5te7N76Khi
Yassssss I does cook with molasses and take it. It's really good to take
a little molasses brings out the flavor
Thank you for this true Bajan version, commentary and all was Bajan to the bone. Love it!. Where do you get your molasses from in Barbados?
Hi Callender, Thank you so much! I don't live in Barbados but I'm sure you may find it in the supermarket. Thank you for watching and have a great night.
Yup dats how we cook we pelau 💕
Hi Tina.👋 I’m new to your channel and love you and your recipes! Thanks for sharing your talents, I look forward to more videos!
Welcome!! Thank you for being here! Stay tune for lots more videos coming soon and thank you for watching.
Pelau looks great , thanks
Thank you Arlene👍for watching!
How do you hold the pot with your bare hands? I am hurting just looking at that. Your pelau looks beautiful and tasty. Will definitely try molasses next time. Keep on cooking delicious recipes. Boston
I had to look back at the video to see what you were talking about😂The pot was not hot at the top, so it was easy for me to hang onto it. Thank you so much for watching.
Think this is more Trinidadian style pelau rather than bajan I dont remember putting peas or coconut milk in a bajan pelau I try some Trini pelau when i was over in New York and that was so nice
I guess you have not tried much Bajan Pelau, I had this at a picnic in Barbados a few years ago and it was so good.😋
This is a "Trinidad style Pelau" but the usual way of making it is to add the seasoned chicken to fresh browning (caramelize the sugar in pot to a rich dark brown colour). There is no curry in traditional Pelau. The addition of chicken stock is a good way to enhace the flavour profile. I am Trinidadian and make no excuses for being a Pelau Police.
Wow! You cook so much like me.
Oh really, that mean you food is good 😀
Hi Tina...First time on your show.. I like all your demos and will definitely try your way from now on. .thank you for sharing all the delicious recipes.
Thank you so much and Welcome to the tinaraine family .
How do you manage to hold a hot pot without a pot holdet?
This looks good. I have to try it this way. Grenadians cook this dish different
Good morning ☀️ Bernadette! We all have our own little spin on the way we make our dishes. As long as it taste good that’s all that matters. When you give it a try let me know how you like it. Have a beautiful day
Good morning ☀️ Bernadette! We tend to add or own little spin to our dishes. Let me know how you like it after you have given it a tried Have a beautiful day
Hi Tina ,with all that good seasoning I know this dish taste good, be careful not to burn your tongue, when you taste your food
Burn my tongue! you're right I need to be careful. With pelau everything is added together making that dish deliciousssss. Thanks for watching, Have a good evening
yummy, that has to be good.
Good morning Loraine! It had a lot of great ingredients inside that made it very delicious 😋
Great! Where do you find Browning, I can't see any in CT.
Sometimes you will find it in Walmart, or the Spanish supermarket look for the international section.
Cooked it today. 🇧🇧
Awwwww! that's great hope you liked it and hanks for giving it a try.
This dish goes well with colesloe.
Yes it does! I'll be making that very soon. Thanks for watching
😊
I am about to try it your way.Thanks!
Hi Angela, Hope you enjoy, let me know how you like it.
@@Tinaraine it was sooo good.I think I was doing mine the wrong way.
Very good pelau. The only thing that isn't Bajan is the coconut milk. We never did this but Bajans have been doing it recently
Let the meat marinate overnight or at least 3 hours and it will taste better
Yes that does work, Marinating is always best
I made this recipe on the weekend and it was just amazing. Keep up the great work Tinaraine!
Hi Wayne so glad to hear your recipe came out great, thanks for giving it a try
@@Tinaraine I was reading a Barbados Cookbook on this recipe and it also suggested adding raisins and olives. So I guess you can try various things with this recipe.
@@wisdomwayne Yes, the good thing about any recipe is you can add your own touch and make it your own. All you need is the basic
Making me some pelau in the morning. Tinaraine style
Don't be surprise if I show up😊 O wait don't know where you live lol!
Tinaraine Pelau already done. Taste good. I’m in Barbad
Barbados
@@corineashby7506 Now seeing this message, I'm glad you enjoyed the the Pelau. Wish I could join you in Barbados.
Your pelue is not B
You Palau is not Bajan style , we don't add peas or coconut milk, but I believe it taste nice
Just like my mum used to cook
Yeahhhh! I'm glad to hear that, The idea is for me to keep Barbados traditional dishes alive

Good morning Vidya, I don’t think I’ve ever been told I have sweet hands before lol, but thank you I love it. Have a bless day

Tried it.was delicious. Have you heard of cutdrops..small square Cakes
Hi JD, So happy you enjoyed the Pelau. I am not familiar with cutdrops, Hope you are having a great day
delicious
Thank you 😋It is a delicious meal in one.
How much rice should I add? 1 cup, 2 cup, etc. I’m making it this week.
Hi Kenrick, that rice is so good you have to cook at lease two cups, and of course that depend on how many people you will be cooking for. To cook two cups of rice, you will need 4 cups of water, if you're using coconut milk measure it with your water to make sure you're adding the correct amount. Thanks for giving the recipe a try, let me know how it comes out
Can you be my Auntie? I love watching your videos. They remind me of watching my Aunties cooking.
Yes I can 😀Thank you so much for watching, and blessings to your Aunties
@@Tinaraine watching you takes me back home.
i like mine wet and buttery
Is the pot not hot? You are holding the pot not the handle 😲
Tough hands
Hi Mgspoty, I'm not sure would have to watch to video again to find out but i'm sure it must have cooled down. Thanks for watching.
What type of pot is that? You have your hand on it and the stove is on
A few people have asked me that question lol, the top of the pot was not hot I can assure you.
Thank you so much!
How much rice did you use
Hi Jinny, I don't remember how much rice I used but when cooking rice its always 2 cups water to 1 cup of rice. you just have to adjust the other ingrediencies to suit
And you are holding the hot pot with your bare hands?
It was not hot.
you made ur own pepper sauce? link
This is the Link to making your own pepper sauce at home, th-cam.com/video/lG5bwADlTPA/w-d-xo.html
Your cooking is great. However even though I follow the recipe I am still not happy with my results.
Hi Yvonne, Sorry to hear that you were not happy with your results. I'm not sure what went wrong, If the rice did not cook correctly, you should check the brand you used. I always use uncle bens it come out the same way for me all the time. Make a few changes and give it another try, see what happens.
She touching that pot with her bare hands..hands must be heat resistant
Haffer. the top of the pot was not hot that's why it was easy to hold onto. I assure you my hands are not heat resistant lol. Thanks for watching
@@Tinaraine lol...
Your hands are on the hot pot😅😊insane lady.
People keep saying that to me, believe me if the pot was hot my had would not be on it lol.
Is there a recipe?
Hi Angela, yes after watching the video, scroll down and you will see the recipe. Thanks for watching.
We bajans don't do measurements, we average the ingredients 😊
There too much seasoning in the bajan Palau.
Hi Janice, you are probably right but it tasted so goooood. 😀Thanks for watching
That's how we bajans cook
The person that is translating need to get the right spelling of the words that is used...please sort it.
Ingrid what word do you believe is misspelled!
Not Bajan palau
Nice
Thanks Gregg!
HERBS not ERBS please
Another ortentic bajan dish.
In Barbados we have our own authentic dishes, what makes our different is the spices we add.
The key is the season and celery
The seasoning and celery brings out the flavor. Thanks for watching have a wonderful weekend
