- Learn how to make a classic salted pigtail pelau, a delightful one-pot dish, with simple step by step instructions from Chris De La Rosa of CaribbeanPot.com Since we've already done the chicken, vegetarian and beef versions of Pelau, I thought it was time for the salted pigtails version. Not just a #tasty one pot dish, but it's also gluten free as well.
You'll Need...
1 1/2 lbs salted pigtials (cut 1 inch pieces)
1 large carrot (diced)
3 stalks celery (chopped)
1 medium onion (chopped)
1 whole scotch bonnet pepper (don't break)
1 tablespoon Caribbean Green seasoning
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon tomato ketchup
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 large tomato (cubed)
1 tablespoon veg oil
1- 1 1/2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 can pigeon peas (about 1 1/4 cups)
2 cups parboil long grain (brown) rice
1 1/2 cups coconut milk
1 1/2 cups water
4-5 sprigs thyme
2 tablespoon chopped parsley
If doing this dish gluten free be sure to go through the entire list of ingredients to make sure they meet with your specific gluten free dietary needs.

Love me some pelau. Any version!
Making this dish today
do you really chop that fast? I'm impressed! 😊
Looking nice and grainy. That is how pelau supposed to be!
Explain please how/what entails a "Gluten free" pelau as you mentioned?
Chris u cool 😊👍 quick question for you...could I do a pigs tail beef and shrimp Pelau? Also could this be done in a rice cooker?
Damn, can I buy a plate. Wish you were near, I'd pay weekly!!!!!
I have both salted pigtail and salted beef in my pot 😋
you don't change your water and boil it again?
I would use turkey tails. Looks delicious
can you show me how to make souse trini style
What an absolutely delicious-looking dish! New subbie here and I totally want to make this for myself👩🏾🍳, but I have questions🤔. Where can I get the "Caribbean Green seasoning"? Also, im only 1 person, how can I condense this recipe for just me and some leftovers for later in the week?
Mmmmmmmm! I love me some pigtail. But I haven't had it in years 😭
I feel your pain and literally took a road trip just to go buy some 3 weeks ago haven't had any in almost 5 years
@@applew1987 Haha! I might do the same! Or catch a flight to Trinidad from the UK.... either way 🤷🏽♀️ lol
real Trini food
good talk
Do I cook it on medium high heat?
How do u make it in a instant pot or rice cooker
nice
I don't eat pork but that look great
Are pigtails already cooked through before you start the browning process of the pelau
Regarding the pigtail, Is there any particular reason why in this video, you boil out the salt for 30mins, but in another video (with the callalloo & rice) the pigtail was boiled for an hour, and then another 15mins after dumping out the water. That timeframe is a vast difference, and I'm too scared to taste it for salt (like you can with saltfish) because its pork.
I'm now confused as to how long I should boil the pigtail for 😕
Chris you ever do the pelau with salted beef
Yes u can but u will need to boild the beef 1st
Is pelua and cookup the same thing
Did you use light brown or dark brown sugar?
Brown sugar
9:59 💀💀💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣 you are so silly!
How would I need to adjust if I wanted to make this with goat?
Giggra what a good idea ! Lol i have never heard fo a goat pelau. Thank you for this comment
You won't boil the meat first. Instead you will season it and sear it off. He boiled the tails because they were salted.
How can I obtain your cookbook?
Did your accent change?
Anyways,great job on your videos
Hi Chris, i will stick to the Vegi version. Thanks for sharing this.
7:18 Yuh doh ha tuh dis de dry coconuts like dat 😂
there's no pelau without pigtail and coconut milk
susiq1121 to each his own, but coconut milk make any vegetarian dish " finger licking good ".
Can you please show me how to make sloppy joes? Thank you!!!
Chris yuh forget the pumpkin in the pelau
why u never taste your food on camera.. after you finish cook
Caribbean Food is too hot to taste right after cooking....haha
we not missing out on anything, we vegetarians are doing just fine. i know you mean well. you should try a chunks chow mein and chunks pelau.
No.
That's more a Jamaican season rice than a trini pelau I'm just saying but hey look good
dwl...how?
Team wet! ok...aright😂
This looks amazing!
