Soy de Isla Verde Puerto Rico pero vivo en Missouri con mis hijos. Los 3 queremos regresar lo más pronto que podemos. Me encanta tu abuelo. Me hace recordar a mi abuelo que está en el cielo ahora. Lo extraño muchísimo. Me encanta tu canal. Gracias por hacer tus videos. Y me encanta Humacao también. Abrazos desde mis niños y yo. Soy un Papi soltero con 100% custodia de mis hijos. Mis hijos miran tus videos conmigo.
How wonderful to hear!!! Hope you can make it back to the enchanted island very soon. Until then, enjoy these videos and hopefully some delicious food!
Se vé delicioso,me encanta el arrós con gandules soy del Perú.
BUENO ITS HOW MY DAD USE TO MAKE IT STEP BY STEP IN OKLA CITY MUCHO GRAIS GRANDPA. CAN’T WAIT TO MAKE IT FOR CHRISTMAS WITH THE PERNIL. WOW!
Awesome!!!
The rice was made to perfection I make it the same way the only difference is I use achiote oil and it gives the rice a beautiful color and it gives it
Such amazing taste too .... I also use a plantain leave to put on the rice while it’s cooking it’s so good ..My mom who passed way 10 yrs ago
Was such a unbelieved cook.. I follow her love for cooking too , to me there is no other better tasting food then Puerto Rican food ..
It’s my opinion that we make our food with one a main ingredient LOVE that’s why everything taste so good ...
You should make more videós with your grandfather he such a good teacher ...
Well god bless you all ...
FELIZ NAVIDAD Y FELIZ AÑO NUEVO 🎄🎄🎄🎄☃️❄️🧉🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

Just returned to the States from visiting my parents in Puerto Rico. My mom's
arroz con gandules is my special request whenever I fly down to see them. 🇵🇷
Your grandfather's approach is easy to follow. Please thank him for sharing.
Awesome! Has she shared her recipe with you?
Me encantó el video… saludos al abuelo thanks and happy Christmas 🎄

Hi from New Jersey! Abuelo is awesome. I would like to see him do more videos, he’s a great chef and teacher. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed! We'll try to get him on more often.
¡Abuelito! Que dicha de verlo cocinando. ¡Que Dios lo colma de bendiciones!
Gracias!!! Bendiciones para usted también.
Born in NYC, raised in Isabela, love your video, and your grandpa is a awesome chef.
Thank you!!!
Just made this for Thanksgiving!
Pura experiencia!! Dios te bendiga hermoso abuelito!
Gracias!!! Bendiciones 💕
I,m so jazzed that I found Jeff & Jo's Puerto Rican Kitchen! 😋 I'm a Boriqua & sad to say I never took the interest into learning how to cook Puerto Rican food. I regret it so much for not taking the time to learn when my mother was alive.
I’m sorry for your loss but so happy you found us too!
wow, thank you. what a great experience to be able to cook with "dad', wish I had this chance. brings back memories.
It is very special to be able to cook with grandpa.
Love it!!! These are the best videos bringing in your family... I get a warm familiar feeling watching these shows. This is how I make my rice except I use the unhealthy ham 😋 and Sazon rather than tomato sauce. I can eat this any hour. I think this might be my favorite video! ❤️
Awe thank you! Wish I was eating some rice right now!!
Mi pueblo de Humacao, cuidad gris, saludos
Divino!!!
I’m so happy I found your channel. 😍 The rice looks good. Good tips from your grandfather. I recently made arroz con gandules and I put too much water. But at the end it was ok.
Mildred Segarra Glad to hear that it turned out ok for you!
Can't wait to make this. So simple.
But so delicious!
Delish! Natural todo i love it!
Thank you!
I have a question...I guess I could "google" it...How many cups does 2 Lbs. of Long Grain Rice equal? I prefer long grain because when I make Medium Grain, it's a hit and miss with mushiness!
It’s about 4.5 cups.
Muchas gracias por su receta de como cocinar arroz con gadule me gusta mucho
De nada! Gracias por el apoyo!
Your abuelito is adorable! I love it. "You'll be able to eat this with a clean conscience." 😁😂😂 New Year's eve we'll make this and pernil all from the channel.
Always a clean conscience when eating Puerto Rican food 😂😂😀 Good luck with your New Year's eve dinner, it sounds delicious! 😍😍
Your video with your gpa is great. We 've never done turkey instead of our famous pork but first time for everyting this is a must try. Looks sooo good.
Thank you!
♥wooo Dios Bendiga tu Abuelito el mejor Arrocito con Gandules me encantan sus recetas y soy nueva en el canal ♥
M Y R A D A Colón bienvenida al canal!! Espero que lo disfrute mucho!
I want to have dinner in YOUR house. you two and tu abuelo are awesome. really like your videos. I'm PR, but my spanish (speak) is horrible but my spanish (eating) is top notch and cant wait to try these recipes. if you're ever in vegas, let me know...
Yay! Glad you enjoyed the video (and Puerto Rican food 🤣). Good luck with the recipes and hopefully we can make it out to Vegas someday 🤩
Thank u from Chicago..... Happy new year's 2 ur entire family.....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ tradition of family is wonderful
You are welcome! Happy new year to you and your family as well!
I make my rice and pigeon peas the same way and I use smoked turkey instead of pork. I think that’s what you meant when you said turkey ham. It still gives a great flavor. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing! Where do you get your smoked turkey? That sounds delicious, although I think a little different than what we used here: www.walmart.com/ip/Jennie-O-Fully-Cooked-Half-Turkey-Ham-1-5-2-5-lb/44391134
Se ve delicioso 😋
Gracias
Jamon de pavo excelente 👍🏻. Tampoco como cerdo. No uso nada artificial ni preservatidos. Como sustituyo el sazon con achiote. 😊
Awww love himmmm. Cute video and I’m going to def try this recipe 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
I 💕💕 my grandpa too!! Please let us know how it goes for you!
I'm really enjoying your channel! Thanks for all the vegetarian recipes!
Anneke Valles You are welcome!!
It's a good video wish it was in English, looks so good
Hi! We do have the written description in English here: www.jeffandjopr.com/post/arroz-con-gandules
Por favor tienes que hacer un video como hacer salada de Carucho
Gracias!!
Go grandpa!!! Good chef and good teacher. One question, isn't it few rice(2 libras, for 8 people?) -God Bless!
Grandpa is the best! 2 lbs is plenty for us but as abuelo said, if your family is really into rice then you may need more.
Thanks for sharing your delicious recipe for arroz con gandules. I dont eat pork products and from now on, I'm going to use turkey ham.
You are welcome! My family is a big fan of the turkey ham substitution! Have you used anything else in the past to substitute pork?
@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen I always use morning star products for breakfast meats and kosher beef or turkey sausages. Will definately look forward to your new uploads on delicious recipes.
@@jibaritastar8148 awesome! Sounds very similar to what my family uses too. Looks like you are open to vegetarian options too, check out our pastelon ( ua-cam.com/video/bbl-Vffqmus/v-deo.html) and pasteles de yuca (ua-cam.com/video/sstBFOq6hZ0/v-deo.html) videos where we used Beyond Meat instead of real beef. Let us know what you think!
@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen I sure will. Thanks for link!
Aww..Que bellos los dos! Que regalo!
Puedo sustituir el sazon pues no uso nada con msg?
Si! También tenemos un video donde te enseñamos a hacer el sazón sin msg: www.jeffandjopr.com/post/sazon-without-the-artificial-ingredients
My grandpa is Ramon Cruz from Aguadilla
That’s awesome!!! Same name!
Good stuff!! I would love to know where you found that caldero. It's so hard to find a good one in the state I live at. Thank you for the wonderful channel, Jeff and Jo. :)
This is my grandpas old caldero. Agree that it is hard to find the good ones nowadays.
Mi corazon...
Podrias decirme donde consiguo el caldero? Any link?
Ay! Ese caldero es viejísimo de abuelo. Ahora los calderos que se consiguen son los Imusa. La calidad no es igual pero resuelven.
Para el arroz uso la lata de gandules como medida?
No, usa una taza de medir.
Bendicion abuelito, Muy buena receta. Espero el anuncio de tu canal !!!
Brenda Fernandez Gracias!!
Tienen la de arroz con dulce?
No, tenemos tembleque pero no arroz con dulce.
making this right now, this minute. only thing i wish you did was give time points when you fade out an in to the next step. how long did you let the Peas stew for before you put in the rice and same for other points in the video. otherwise, its very well appreciated. Looking good so far.
Thanks so much for the suggestion, we'll think about adding those in the future. As for the timing of stewing the peas, since they are already cooked it doesn't take long. Depending on how hot your stove is, it's probably about 2-3 minutes. Good luck!
Me gustaria saber si Don Ramon alguna vez a usado gandules congelados que no tienen preservativos.
Si! El los ha usado también. Dejalos descongelar en la nevera y despues lo sacas de la nevera como 4 horas.
This episode was fantastic! Grandpa is a natural and it's so cool to see how cooking and the culture is so deeply engrained in your family! Love IT! This recipe looks absolutely fantastic and I was thrilled to see the red sofrito which I imagine is like the hulks red cousin in flavor! Very interesting insight about the layers of flavor for the fresh cut onion and peppers to be added prior to the sofrito. Learned alot from this episode. Thanks very much!
C Lo thank you so much for your support!!
¡Gracias abuelo! Y para los vegetarianos, hay alguna opción para sustituir el jamón o no tenemos salvación? 😅
MargaritaVioleta pues claro! A mi me gustan mucho los veggie hot dogs, le dan buen sabor al arroz. Pero si no, muchas veces lo he hecho sin jamón.
Do you make pasteles?
We have recipes for them here in the channel
How many cups in 2lbs of rice? What kind of rice did you used?
We used jasmine rice. It is approximately, 4.5 cups but we would strongly suggest weighing it.
Is there a cookbook yet 👀
Haha, not yet. But we gotta start working on that 😉😉
What size is your caldero?
That’s a very hard question so sorry - we don’t really know the answer (this is our “medium” caldero)
Do you have this recipe in English? Wish I could understand!
Hi Teri, we have the translation in our blog - www.jeffandjopr.com/post/arroz-con-gandules
@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen excellent! thank you ever so!!
Helllo id like to know if that’s around 6 or 7 cups of rice please
( the 2 pounds of rice )
Thx
Arigna Watersreaser hi there! It’s actually 5 cups of rice. About 2 1/2 cups of rice per pound.
Está usando el arroz pullita o el grano mediano?
El uso grano largo. Arroz Jasmine.
Abuelo usó el Jasmine.
Hi! Did you used long rice or medium rice?
Mildred Segarra Grandpa used jasmine rice here.
Jeff and Jo's Puerto Rican Kitchen, Thanks! I usually use GOYA medium.
We often use Goya medium grain rice too but grandpa prefers jasmine rice
Muy poco arroz psra ocho personas para seis yo echo tres libras
Is it 5 cups of rice and only 3 of water? 24 oz seem too little?
Can anyone confirm?
Hi Lilly! Confirmed! You are adding the sofrito and tomato sauce also so there is more liquid than just the water.
@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen thank you! Also, I freeze my sofrito in ice cubes. How many would I need to use?? Lol. Thank you for your help. Can’t wait to make it. Looks delicious!
You are welcome!! Umm I’m not sure. Can you put about 5 cubes in the microwave (defrost mode) and measure 1 cup that way?
The flavor of this rice is delicious! However, the proportion of rice to water in this recipe did not work for me. I used 5 cups of long grain rice and 24 oz of water as stated in the recipe. After the 30 minutes and the mixing the rice was undercooked. I had to add more water and cover the pot tightly with foil in order for it to cook through. From start to finish this pot of rice cooked for 2 hours! But it was absolutely delicious. I think the type of rice matters and the size of your pot. I will definitely try it again with more water!
Thanks Bianca. You are correct that the type of rice and pot matters. 2 hours its a really long time but so happy that it finally worked out. The flavor is certainly delicious! I miss my grandpa's rice!!
Can you halve this recipe?
Yes, you can definitely halve the recipe; you'll just need to use a smaller pot too, in order to keep the volume-to-surface area ratio similar.
Please tell me, what kind of rice? Thanks
Of course! We were using jasmine rice in this video. I've used other brands of medium grain rice before and had similar outcomes. If you use a different variety however (e.g., medium grain or long grain rice) you will need to adjust the rice to water ratio, because they tend to cook differently. Enjoy!
**EDIT**
Jeff and Jo's Puerto Rican Kitchen thanks!! I just found your video with Jeff and the 10 myths. There’s a certain taste I’ve tried desperately to find in rice dishes. I’ve tasted only twice that I can remember. My Puerto Rican friend made it when I was young and a lady at work 2+ years ago. I’m hoping the sofrito is it.
@@jovitalong1844 If it was a type of yellow rice, then definitely likely coming from the sofrito. You can check out our video on sofrito here: ua-cam.com/video/8sHPb6heV-0/v-deo.html. Other potential reasons for a unique taste could be the sazon, which is very common in Puerto Rican rice. (For example, www.goya.com/en/products/seasonings/sazon). Hope that helps!
Jovita, sorry one correction. Yomarie's grandpa used jasmine rice in this video--we normally use medium grain, which is why I got confused.
Jeff and Jo's Puerto Rican Kitchen thanks!! I lived in Aguadilla when I was 2, 50+ years ago. Now in North Carolina. I heard you mention NC earlier in one video. Thanks for all your help! 😊
The water to rice portion is not correct. 2 pounds of rice is about 5 2/3 cups. 24 oz is only 3 cups of water. You would need at least 5 1/2 cups of water minimum regardless of rice long or medium.
I think 2lbs of rice is closer to 4.5 cups but in any case, there is liquid here coming from other sources not just the water.
El jamon va pimero oiste. Esa cantidad de arroz lleva mas gandules y otra cosa no se bota el aguita ahi hay mucho sabor.
Gracias por ver el video!
Too many bad words.
Go grandpa!!! Good chef and good teacher. One question, isn't it few rice(2 libras, for 8 people?) -God Bless!
Haha, I guess it depends on how hungry people are 🤣🤣 If you are just having rice and beans with a salad, probably not enough. But if you are also serving pasteles and some pernil, probably a good amount--but again, just depends on how hungry you are.
