    None of my Rican exes, brothers or dad ever cooked. I admire when PRican men cook. It's amazing because I never experienced it. That's why I like watching the videos.

    This recipe is PERFECT!! My boyfriend is Puerto Rican and he thought it was exquisite. A few recommendations for people like me who enjoy a good shortcut:
    Gandules - if you are using canned gandules, there's no need to heat them up beforehand or add extra water. Just pour one can in at the same time the chef in the video adds his gandules (including the water that's in the can) and you'll be fine.
    Sofrito - I used the pre-made tomato based sofrito by Goya and it turned out great. I also still added the tomato sauce as directed in this recipe.
    Banana leaves - I wasn't able to find these, and it came out just fine without

    WARNING: If you use canned gandules and/or store-bought sofrito like I did, you will need to decrease the amount of salt you use!
    Thank you for posting this recipe!

    Hi. Just wanted you to know that I had this dish at a friends home who's Puerto Rican. His mom made the dish and it was fabulous. I've asked for the recipe for a couple of weeks and I never got it from her. Saw your video and made it exactly the way you did. Even down to the making a hill at the end. Let me just say that it was 50 times better then my friends Mom's dish. I made it for a Cleveland browns football party today and it was the hit of all the dishes. Thank you so much. Maybe you can help with the browns winning a game now.

    In the early 1990s, I went to school with a lady who made this dish for an eating meeting function. It was one of the best flavored rice dishes I had ever tasted. I spoke about this dish many times. No one I asked had an idea of the name, much less a recipe. I found your video (2017) and made it. Delicious! This was better than how I remembered the original tasting.

      If I'm not mistaken, he accidentally said one portion of salt in one part of the video, and another portion later in the video. I agree...it was too much salt (ask me how I know😅) I love this recipe, bit put the brakes on the salt. Thanks Freakin' Rican, for this recipe!

    Awesome recipe!! Just a heads up bro, get rid of that cutting board, it dulls your knife with every pass you make, that's why it looks like your knives struggle to cut through things. Wood or plastic...is the only way to go.

    I usually heat my light olive oil with cumin seeds then sauté
    my chopped colorful peppers and onions and garlic then add my sofrito sauté that adding dry oregano and Badía sazón no msg. I add my gandules cook that then in my rice cooker I pour my gandules with the water and sauté sofrito and add the rice mix well. Taste for salt. I don't add tomato sauce. Then cover rice cooker with glass lid let cook till dry. I chop fine cilantro and add to dry rice mix well and cover again let cook in rice cooker. That's how I cook my rice/ gandules kosher style!

      Jessica Arango you can use canned guandules. I use long grain rice. I am not a fan of medium grain cause the amount of water needed changes and I end up with mushy rice sometimes.
