Aida's Kitchen®

Добавлен 7 дек 2013
My name is Aida Lugo McAllister and I created this channel so that you can experience the cuisine of the Caribbean - especially Puerto Rican cookery. I had the opportunity to live in Puerto Rico as well as traveling to the neighboring islands, including South America and Dominican Republic. In most of my cooking videos, I provide an introduction to a slice of food history, gardening, useful kitchen gadgets and tools, time-saving ideas and helpful food preparation tips. Some of my recipes are a healthier version of the Puerto Rican cuisine - baked alcapurrias, steamed pasteles, no salt added to our chicken fricassée, baked plantains, etc.
Jibarito (Plantain Steak Sandwich)
The jibarito is flattened plantain slices that are fried and used as the bread portion. The sandwich is then layered with mayonnaise, cheese, beef steaks, tomatoes and lettuce. With the passing of time, other ingredients have been added or altered to the sandwich.

Arroz Chino (Chinese Rice)
Просмотров 5713 месяца назад
Puerto Rico has a small Chinese population. As a result, we prepare a lot of Chinese rice in Puerto Rico. My cousin would often make Chinese Fried Rice with bacon and use the bacon grease to fry the rice and vegetables. It was delicious! I had the opportunity to visit a Chinese restaurant last summer in Puerto Rico. With my leftover cooked white rice, I decided to prepare this dish similar to m...

Air Fried Tostones
Просмотров 9065 месяцев назад
Tostones (double fried green plantains) are prepared with green plantains and fried twice. The first fry is to cook the plantains and the second fry is to create an outer crispy texture. The purpose of air frying is to enjoy food items that are crunchy and moist while using minimal oil. Since tostones are fried twice, why not lower your fat intake and calories with air frying the tostones. If y...

I have to try them, they look delicious! 😊
Hola Olga, They are very delicious and easy to make!
Very nice ❤
Hola, Thank you very much!
We made be related I am so from Humacao and I have a cousin who lives near you her name is Elvira
Hola Anibal, My mother is Almodovar, and Elvira is my first cousin. I visited my family (the Almodovar's) last year in Humacao. It's nice to hear from family. Thank you for watching my cooking videos! Que Dios te bendiga!
I’m making that for sure. ❤
Hola Ana, It is very delicious. I try to place the steak while still warm on top of cheese to melt the cheese a little.
Hi Aida, I would like to get the healthy adobo. Thank you. 😊
Hola Ana, I found the healthy adobo online. I recommend to search online for Healthy Rican, which is the brand name.
@@AidasKitchen great I will. Continue the course to excellence.
Hola Ana, Thank you! Enjoy your week!
Thank you for this video! It's so simple, but I was failing to make it how I love it when I eat oatmeal in PR because I was using the wrong type of oats!
Hola Adriana, I am glad you are able to now make your creamy oatmeal like in Puerto Rico. This is why I like to provide detail information about my food items.
How do you remove the hull? The hull is very tough
Hola Shelley, The pigeon peas develop in pea pods. Each pod contains an average of 4 to 5 peas. The pod is opened with your fingers, which is demonstrated in the video. There is no outer shell to be removed from the peas itself. Visit aidaskitchenboricua.com for more detail visual instructions.
Can I say I absolutely appreciate the slow speak lol I constantly have to rewind the videos and it bums me out!
Hola! Thank you! Glad you enjoyed watching my cooking video! Have a great weekend!
Thank you for sharing your video. I am trying to grow some culantro and so far it looks like I may have some seeds already sprouting.
Hola Nick, That is great news! Culantro is an herb that is not easy to grow like cilantro (it's cousin). However, when it does grow, it is a beautiful long aromatic leave.
Great idea😊
Gracias!
Great recipe, and great way to cook it. Yummy! Gladys
Hola Gladys, It is delicious! Henry cooks the meat in a pot with barbecue sauce once it is shredded. He puts the BBQ meat in small containers and stores in freezer. If we are too busy to cook dinner, we have delicious BBQ sandwiches on a bun.
Thank you do it now.
Hola Ana Maria, You are welcome! It is great to have fresh cooked gandules!
@@AidasKitchen I made some and they came out delicious when they are prepare fresh.
Hola Ana Maria, Yes, absolutely and glad to hear! There is nothing like cooking with fresh produce.
You where born to do this, lovely voice, nice speed on recording, very well explained. Perfect English & Spanish👏👏👏 will let you know how it turns out😊
Hola Angie, Thank you so much for your lovely comments. Glad you enjoyed my cooking video! Buen Provecho!
I love your videos!
Hi Laurie, Thank you so much! I enjoy producing the cooking videos.
❤PINCHOS! Great step by step video. Can’t wait to make this
Hola Stella, Thank you! They are normally charcoal grilled but I only have a gas grill. If you have a gas grill, try to maintain the temperature between 360°F to 375°F. The gas grill has a tendency to increase the temperature automatically when you close the lid. I had to lower the temperature gauge several times. I grilled the chicken skewers in two separate batches. However, if you decide to grill them all, the amount of time will differ so check them periodically on the grill. Enjoy!
@@AidasKitchen Thank you for the advise! we have a gas grill. Sending love ❤️. Have a great rest of your night
Hi Stella, I just posted the visual step by step instructions with recipe on my food blogging website if you are interested. Visit: www.aidaskitchenboricua.com
@@AidasKitchen Thanks! I signed up too
😂😂😂the mom letter😂😂❤❤
Hola Wanda, When I prepare the "Ponche de Malta," I always think of my mother - fond memories! Glad you enjoyed my personal story.
Gosh these look so good. I can imagine them with fresh peaches inside.
Hola Laurie, The dough is so flaky that they can be stuffed with a variety of fruits, meats and seafood!
excellent
Hola, Thank you very much!
Looks good Aida!
Hola Mike, Thank you. They are delicious because the dough is so flaky!
I tried getting the Piccadilla recipe but for some reason I was blocked please.fix this issue so I may proceed with your recipe thank you
Hola Gillian, I was able to click on the link from another computer and get access to the recipe. I will check into it tomorrow. However, you can also get access by going directly to my website (aidaskitchenboricua.com) and click on the recipe tab. It is listed under the title meat filling. You can also find the meat filling (picadillo) video on my RUclips channel as well.

Hola Emilia, Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed the video!
sancocho 😋👍🏽
Hola, I love this Sancocho!
normally make them the authentic way will try it baked next time 👍🏽
Hola, I also make and keep individually wrapped pasteles in the freezer. This is an alternative method to serve pasteles without spending time wrapping and tying them in plantain leaves - a much easier way of preparing pasteles without changing the texture and flavor.
@@AidasKitchen Oh this a great idea I knew it was another way to make them that takes less time to prepare . Thanks for sharing this method appreciate it bendiciones 🙏🏽💗
these are good can be made sweet or not sweet
Hola, You are correct! The fried breads can be prepared with sugar or no sugar. Enjoy your weekend.
@@AidasKitchen same to you

She has such a BEAUTIFUL accent 😱🥰 I’m also a foreigner and could listen to her ALL day long ❣️ I would love for her to know I’ve watched this video SEVERAL times to make my black beans because it’s a pleasure to me to hear her explaining how to do it❤
Hola Paola, Thank you so much for enjoying my cooking videos and listening to my instructions. Your lovely comments are so appreciated because many people don't understand all the steps necessary to make a video especially when you do everything by yourself. I am the chef, videographer, and editor. Have a beautiful weekend!

Do you have to add eggs to the rice , I don't like eggs
Hola Agnes, No, You don't have to add the eggs to the rice. You can increase or decrease the quantity of the ingredients to suit your taste and also add other ingredients like chunks of chicken or pork not listed in this recipe.
@@AidasKitchen thank you
Thank you for sharing this video!
Hola Katrina! You are most welcome! Have a great weekend!
What do you do with them steamed? Do you mash them, serve them in chunks, do you add butter and spices? I’m a total beginner with this food.
Hola, This dish is usually served with Stewed Salt Cod (aidaskitchenboricua.com/stewed-salt-cod/), Salt Cod Salad (aidaskitchenboricua.com/salt-cod-salad/), or Stewed Codfish with Eggplant (aidaskitchenboricua.com/stewed-codfish-with-puerto-rican-eggplant/). You can use regular eggplant if you don't have Puerto Rican eggplant. Many times, I just pour olive oil over the cooked root vegetables with slices of avocados.
I have been looking for such a thorough direction for making pigon peas,...THANK YOU. I can't wait to try this..😊😋❤❤❤
Hola Teyes, You are welcome! I feel cooking videos should entail close up demonstrations and detail instructions especially for those individuals that are learning to cook. Visit my website (aidaskitchenboricua.com) for more visual step by step instructions as well. Enjoy your weekend!
I'd love to try this without the ham. It looks delicious. By the way, I love your new hairstyle.
Hi Laurie, Yes, this dish could be prepared for vegans or vegetarians if you omit the ham. Thank you, Laurie, for liking my new hairstyle.
Can’t wait to try it!!!
Hola Nikole, We made it yesterday and it is almost gone. It was delicious!
Habla en español !!!!!
Hola, Tengo varios videos donde estoy hablando en español. Por ejemplo: el video de sandwichitos de mezcla, etc.
Love this
Hola Evelyn, Thank you. I love black beans especially black bean soup. I also have a cooking video on how to prepare black bean soup. Enjoy your weekend.
I remember growing up in the Bronx NYC when I was very young my girlfriends had birthday parties and they always made the rice and peas and pork I still love it all these years later I am making this for my 62 Birthday .thank you Aida
Hola Deborah, Such fond memories with our popular rice at your girlfriends' birthday parties. I hope this dish turns out great for your 62nd Birthday! Enjoy!
Se ve delicioso. Recuerdo cuando lo compraba de un carrito que lo vendian en la plaza de Camuy. Gracias por el video. Muy instructivo. Acabo de comprar una maquina y lo voy a intentar exactamente como usted lo hizo.
Hola Rafael, De nada. Dios quiera que le salga riquísimo. El helado de coco me da muchos recuerdos de mi juventud en Puerto Rico.
Question 🙋♀️ I will be planting my seeds just as you mentioned in the video but I just want to know how long does it usually take to grow? We are in April and I’m in ohio so summer is coming soon.
Hola, Depending on the condition of the seeds, it may take three weeks or just over a month for the seeds to start to germinate. If I see that there are no growth within a month, I usually plant new seeds in pots. When I initially plant the seeds in January, I plant the seeds in at least 10 pots because some will grow and some will not.
I 💘 when you say "Que Rico". You explain the recipe so well. Thank you for sharing your videos!!🙋♀️
Hola Diane, Thank you for watching my cooking videos! It is much appreciated. Que Dios te bendiga!
Cooking this tonight. For some reason, clicking the link to your site gives me a block message. As in I'm blocked from access.
It has to be a setting on your computer that is restricting access to my site. My website and RUclips channel are public social platforms. I just went to another computer and checked on the link to my website on RUclips and it took me directly to my site. I also googled my website and RUclips channel online and was given access.
Love your voice and this recipe! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Bendiciones!
Hola Veros, Thank you so much. Glad that you enjoyed watching this video. Bendiciones to you too!
Hola ho😅w can I get the seeds .I'm in Florida.Please let me know by text.
Hola Daisy, I purchased the culantro (recao) seeds online from AgroGardens in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico. I don't have your information to send you a text.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hola Angelina, One of my favorite meals especially when consumed with codfish and avocado.
Brilliant 👏
Muy bueno el video pero yo hamas usaria Vienna sausage. Salchichas Carmelas son las que deberias de usar. Se consiguen donde quieras. Gracias por el video.
Hola, Gracias por recomendar otra clase de salchichas para utilizar. Que tenga un buen día.
So much easier!
Hola, Yes, it is and with the same texture and flavor as our traditional pasteles.
Do you put the seeds in the sun for it to germinate?
Hola Sally, No, I place the planter away from the sun in a shady area on my back deck. Direct sun will not allow the seeds to germinate.
OMG AIDA THE FOOD LOOKS AMAZING , HOW HAVE YOU BEEN?
Hola, Me and my husband are doing great. Thank you for enjoying my cooking video.
