You make everything the way my mom does. I come to your channel to get the measurements cuz a trini mom will just say; put some of this, and some of this, and some of that, ...🤣 I’m like mom how much is some??😩. Ole school trini moms don’t use measuring spoons/cups, she said you just feel it in your spirit when it’s enough 🤷🏽♀️🤣
So true and she was correct our great cooking is felt in your bones. We trini cooks are our own greatest critics. We know when our food is great and when its not😄🙏🏾we can truly just feel it. I'm Loving yuh mom.
Hi Natasha.. i love love red beans/pink beans peleau also, i would always choose that over the traditional pigeon peas. People just need to try new things instead of criticizing that its not "traditional"
Ppl can't help but criticize, it makes them forget their own insecurities and sometimes it's all they know. You can tell the ppl who grew up in a nurturing, loving environment and those who didn't. I was taught if yuh have nothing good to say say nothing. You don't need to hurt ppl or cause strife but that was back in a world where we cared about others.
I am having fun trying all your recipes& I must say they have all turned out great, I made this for an outing, my in laws were pleasantly surprised lol 😂
My mother used to add black eyed peas eveytime she made it and I remember as a child growing up that was the meal she made when we used to go to the beach with family and friends. My mother has passed on 9 years now. Then I used to help my father make pelau and sometimes he used to make it on his own. He also passed on. I miss my parents home cooked meals. I visit your channel here and look at the videos for guidance on things I don't know 💞. I use pumpkin in my pelau
i have the same debate in my house all the time redbeans or pigeon peas. that looks great. can i ask for a fish choka recipe pls. thanks again for the time you spend entertaining us. have a nice day
I am a new subscriber to your channel and I thoroughly looking at your cooking videos. I have also learned a lot new recipes and techniques in cooking. I enjoy making your recipes. Keep up the great work.
Why are people so petty? You can use the peas you like, a person may not like pigeon peas but like black beans or kidney beans, nothing is wrong with that. Heck! If you don't like peas nor beans leave them out.
I tried this today, followed everything but the Golden Ray as we don't have that hear in London, UK. It came out good, thank you. Although I always see you brown sugar in your videos this is an area I fail to be successful in no matter how many times I try now. The sugar just turns hard like toffee apple and sticks to the bottom of the pot instead of the chicken, I have no idea where I'm going wrong but it's annoying now and I feel to give up. Any tips or ideas on what the issue could be?
That used to happen to me too. Keep an eye on it. Turn up the heat and when one part melt and dark brown, turn the pot and repeat the process. I have bad luck when I don’t use oil, I use a bit of oil.
Hello Natasha, I am a Yankee and did not catch the thing you put in that you said it was golden something. can you tell me please? and.what was the green seasoning? perhaps we call it something else. I want to try this recipe. great video
Kathleen Smith it's a butter called golden Ray if you cannot find it use regular butter, here is the recipe for the green seasoning th-cam.com/video/S7nGHn00H8U/w-d-xo.html
I will go for the pigeon peas. Nice recipe. You may want to recommend substitute ingredients for the benefit of you non-trini viewers. As an example, what would you use in place of 'golden Ray' or 'badanya' (sorry about the spelling.) Although I'm Trini by birth, I've never heard chado beni called by that name, until I asked you.
+june parr ok no problem, you can use cilantro or flat leaf Italian parsley in place of the bandanya[ shandon beni] and for the golden ray a piece of salted butter although it wont give the same flavor.
darling looks delicious and you could use kidney bean or whatever kind of beans you like darling its your choice ok, ty darling and good night!!😀😀😀😀💖💜💞💋💋
I have different versions of this on my channel as I try to alter the ingredients to suit an individual needs and diet. Feel free to add what you will like.

This is my favorite pelau !!! Just chicken and red beans I’m about to make this now even though I’m not feeling well

I just need to ask if you must have coconut milk to cook it as I’ve seen people do it without
U can put any kind of peas in pelau n it still taste great.

@@vanessapierre7810 thank you very much for the response. I've never tried with oil. I'll do that next time, thanks again.
You didn't add measurement for coconut milk and peas to the description box
At 6:59, what sauce was that you added and how do you make it?
That's not a sauce it's the water from marinating the chicken with addational water.
Thanks Natasha 💯
Lovely recipe 😋

I need a tiny spatula just like yours!
I only like chciken pelau with red beans if I’m using pork of pigtails I use the other beans
Hi Natasha, what kind of brown sugar you using here?

Trini Cooking with Natasha WOW . Thank you so much for answering. one more question. How can I make it with frozen pigeon peas
Kathleen Smith welcome, sure you can.
Trini Cooking with Natasha ok, now I just don't know when to add them. I assume I allow them to thaw. I'm so sorry for being a pain in the butt
Kathleen Smith 15 mins before it's finished cooking, yes the it cost and rinse out with tap water.
How much sugar did you add to brown the chicken?
liaciaria sorry 2tbsp
Great video
Hi how much coconut milk ? Did you used 1 can ?
Yes 1 can you can use up to 2 cans.
Trini Cooking with Natasha

Very Nice!!! 👍👍
I messed up. I was to hasty in adding the water instead of setting it to the side lol. What is the total cooking time by the way?
45 mins.
Nice
I didn’t see oil in the pot.
Jessica Samuel I do not use oil to stew.

where's the link for the salad?
Lystra Samuel th-cam.com/video/Ftc7rzAEqGo/w-d-xo.html
please show a pigtail pelau recipe, thanks!
liaciaria ok
I will go for the pigeon peas. Nice recipe. You may want to recommend substitute ingredients for the benefit of you non-trini viewers. As an example, what would you use in place of 'golden Ray' or 'badanya' (sorry about the spelling.) Although I'm Trini by birth, I've never heard chado beni called by that name, until I asked you.
+june parr ok no problem, you can use cilantro or flat leaf Italian parsley in place of the bandanya[ shandon beni] and for the golden ray a piece of salted butter although it wont give the same flavor.
u dont boil rice before adding to pelau
No you don't
could you show a turkey neck recipe too
th-cam.com/video/9Afs3Ty5qO8/w-d-xo.html

I have different versions of this on my channel as I try to alter the ingredients to suit an individual needs and diet. Feel free to add what you will like.
