The amount of anxiety when he used his freshly chilli-ed gloves to play with his glasses 📈📈📈📈
😅
this man put wax on his tongue i honestly think he wouldn't care
Thank you!! All I could think about was how his temples would be burning later
I make it a point to always rub my eyes after handling hot peppers...old habits.
Easy, don’t use gloves and just wash your hands and you avoid that kind of stuff :)
Caribbean food is by far the most underrated cuisine. Amazing, unique flavours
Agreed! I guess they can’t handle all that flavor 😜
Yeah has a combination of African, East Indian and Chinese flavours
@@hulton-sama9344 and if you’re from Guyana, the food is also influenced by the native Amerindians. Caribbean food is slept on, more people need to try it!
Lived in the States my whole life but am happy to be born into a Caribbean family. The food never disapoints
Yep such a great mix of West African, Native Caribbean, Chinese and Indian 💯
"These are a little hard to find."
Man there was a period where I could not find ANY habaneros but scotch bonnets were in easy supply...
Largely depends on region. In Australia it's very very hard to find Scotch Bonnets but habaneros are abundant
@@Asmodeusi hes in new york, we can find them here
@@Apryll. yeah, though even here, it depends on the neighborhood. Every square mile of Brooklyn is a different country. I could get scotch bonnets in my old hood, now all I see is jalapeño and habenero! 😅
They're the same pepper, unless you know you're getting jamaican bonnets or mexican habaneros. Any flavor differences to note come from soil and water differences not the peppers themselves.
@@raafaelhoffman9487 😅👍 That makes so much sense!
One thing I love about Babby is that he always approaches international/ethnic dishes with the utmost respect and reverence. He does his hw to say the very least
Unless it’s Italian.
@@themageofcontext7071 Italians are precisely impossible to please.
@@themageofcontext7071 Italians, at least when it comes to food, are the parents who yell at their kid for getting 98% on a test.
The chicken tikka he made wasn't that great, but his later episodes where he got Floyd to teach him were a big upgrade
@@keerywindle1932 I mean that's pretty much my point lol
Jamaican here, I definitely approve (although if you guys want to get pigeon peas for your rice and peas, try to find a Caribbean grocery store if you live in an area that has plenty of West Indians).
He lives in Manhattan ny so im sure he can find one
Walmart should have pidgeon peas, goya brand
I don’t think they’re as difficult to find as he makes it seem. I’ve seen Goya at Walmart and Target in the states.
don't know about other places but here in west FL pigeon peas can be found at pretty much every grocery store, so can scotch bonnets
@@therumjumbies4482 I have a pigeon tree in the backyard, as well as 8 baby plants sprouting near my hog plum tree.
To celebrate Spirited Away’s 20th anniversary, wouldn’t it be cool to try and tackle making the feast No Face eats 🤩🤩🤩
YES
Yes
100%
Absolutely
Absolutely
As a Jamaican native, it makes me gush that you made a traditional Jamaican meal. If she were still alive, my grandma would be proud. Seriously, you pretty much just made my childhood dinner plate! Thank you Babish!
Give me a high 5
*slap*
took a year but i gotchu @@drysoup3017
This wasn’t bad. I’ve never used soy sauce, we normally used browning.
Also, Callaloo would have made the plate more authentic.
Folks should probably know that the scotch bonnet in the rice is not allowed to burst, it’s just for the flavor- take it out before serving.
Learn that the hard way.
I wish he had made hardo bread to go with it. Seeing that bread is his thing
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
I was just about to mention browning.
A true da!
Not gonna lie, kinda hurt my brain when he was talking about lime juice, then made the motion of squeezing the limes over everything, but scallions came out xD
The lime isn’t traditional
@@laurak7575 when you think about it though, it makes sense
Yeahhhh, you don't see that everyday lol
I wonder if he washed the chicken
I thought the same. super trippy
"Scotch bonnets are spicy so make sure you wear your gloves, eye protection and a helmet"
5 seconds later...
"I forgot my scotch bonnets. Ill just grab them"
Scotch bonnets werent hot enough then. Haha
Not pictured: He immediately died.
No real Jamaican is going to say that
As a Jamaican it warms my heart to see Babish tackle our cuisine. Well done Andrew.
In Jamaica there are many individuals of Chinese descent so I can see where recipe #2 comes from. Combining both recipies - as you have - results in the more common flavor profile you will find. I would suggest giving that rice and peas another try - I'm not Jamaican but it looks a bit friendly.
The British Empire sure came up with left field mashups.
Looks like they are the descendants of indentured - often kidnapped - laborers.
friendly?
No. Soy sauce is completely inauthentic.
Remind that Jamaican ginger has more heat but any ginger works
Your grammar even sounds Jamaican so I'm gonna trust your judgement and find some Jamaican ginger 😂🤙
Thank you 😍
I must give this recipe a try...
let's do it! whoops, wrong channel.
@@TheSlavChef guga pls
@@PunzL hai evribadi
The plantains weren’t done traditionally. I’m begging you to try and wait until they’re sweet! The sugar carmelizes and it’s a totally different experience. Also the rice was very wet it’s traditionally not. He did a great job on the chicken but the others not so much most videos banish is killing it so I will not act like I just don’t like him as a Jamaican I’m just saying what the food back home is more like.
DONT ITS WRONG
As a Jamaican who’s been watching this show for years, this is pretty cool lol
As a Florida resident whom lives near, Jamaican, Cuban, Creole, South American and Central American cooking culture I was intrigued on how Babish was gonna tackle this.
Who*
@@greyngreyer5 I said what I said, I don’t care if it isn’t grammatically correct in the slightest. Life is too short to nitpick on grammar 24/7
@@SoratheWonderful Seems long enough for you to write a reply that took longer than it would take to edit that comment but okay.
I would expect a grill to be named after Ron Swanson and not really Chris Traeger
Going full circle back to the first episode.
The Jamaican in me had to see how you handled this🤣🇯🇲
Right!
did he nail it?
@@TheSlavChef LOOKS like he did but we need the taste as well😏
Mad props to the allspice and the protection from the scotch bonnet 😂
I’m waiting for the fuckery
The rice was a bit mushy but this is the best I've ever seen a non-Jamaican do so kudos!
I never thought I would see Babish make "Tostones" (smashed and fried plantains) I thought I was allergic to them
Must be different enough from Cavendish that he's okay. Hooray!
Yeah, plantains are banana family, but not the same as Cavendish or other banana cultivars.
We call them "Patacones" here in Colombia
I don’t know why he used green plantains when making a jamaican dish. We use ripe plantains and we don’t smash them
Yeah I don’t see him eating them
Goya sells Pigeon Peas, should be easy to find in NY. Go to a bodega or the “international” aisle in any big grocery.
Yeah, any city with a large Caribbean population will have a store that sell them. You can get them at any grocery store in Miami.
I was about to say those are very easy to find in cities with a large ethnic presence.
The fact that I can buy pigeon peas in my tiny (~5000 people) midwestern college town says a lot, though whether it says a lot about the peas or the town I'm not sure.
Exactly also known as Gandules. Definitely should be able to find them in NY
Came to say just this. He lives in NY. Gandules are everywhere.
My man, pigeon peas aren't hard to find. You can often find them named gandules and you can find them in most "Hispanic" shops or areas of supermarkets.
right?! I can find pigeon peas more easily than green plantains lol
Maybe he was looking for pigeon peas instead of gandules
They also sell Pigeon Peas at pretty much every Walmart in America 😂
The fact that he said pigeon peas are hard to find… sir you can find them in every bodega in New York City and in the Hispanic section in American supermarket.
I’m almost certain he didn’t even try…Caribbean products are everywhere…even I was surprised at the variety when I visited!
Hey Babish, could you make the cuisine in "Welcome to the Sticks"?
The only food I've seen there is a "smelly cow cheese", must be delicious just by the smell, but then there's also something called "gu-gu" I think, which may just be big potato chips and that's it, I can't seem to find out what it really is.
I remember watching that in my high school French class! I’d love to see him make something from it.
pigeon peas are pretty easy to come by in the us, just look for gandules, thats what theyre called in spanish and theyre available at all walmarts i believe
Especially easy to find in NYC, but even in my much smaller US city, I see them at the grocery store.
@@O2life frrr, not hard to come by at all
yeah i get them all the time when i make spanish rice. they’re everywhere from local grocery stores to walmart’s
I’m in the sf bay and seen them at Walmart, target and Safeway (our regional chain grocery store)
Being from Jamaica this resonates with me very much.
Rice kinda shakey but everything else look nice
If you really from Jamaica that rice would have you in tears...... Not bad on the chicken thou
Same. Rice not red enough though, but everything else is spot on.
The rice not too bad, I'm sure we can all agree it's better than "Jamaican Rice and Peas" from a certain foreigner 😂😩
@@MegaOneil really curious, how would the rice be right???
Jamaican here, you did pretty well. One main thing to improve on would be the colour of the rice but that's because you used canned peas and the redder colour would come from the fresh ones. But again, overall you did well and I can see you did your research as always to get it as accurate as possible.
unrelated but I want to share this fact, those plantain slices/fries are called Patacones here in Colombia! I'm so glad to see that they're enjoyed by people of other countries too!
In Venezuela we call them tostones.
This is what Ainsley was making when he said "He he boiii"
I wanted Babish to say "Hehe Boiii" so much during this video...
Me too
xd
i'll say that i needed to like this but you're at 69 likes...
Those fried plantains are called "tostones" in Puerto Rico 🤝
Funny. In Brazil we just call them fried banana.
I need a Basic’s on Canning, Jamming and Pickling.
All right, we're jamming.
I’m a Jamaican 🇯🇲 so our moment to shine has come . You did well , really authentic . You pronounced and made the rice and peas semi properly 😭 You got my stamp of approval
It was NOT AUTHENTIC. It's missing a key ingredient: SMOKE
Oh sorry, I didn't see the part where he got to the smoker...
@@spiritualcleanse7115 you could've deleted your comment, but here you are showing how obvious you are
This looks pretty darn close to what I had in Jamaica the only thing I could say is missing would be that the cooks basted the chicken with clarified butter while it was grilling and they served the cornmeal fried dough as a side. That's a meal I won't forget for the rest of my life. I was starving after a day of horseback riding and almost getting drowned in the ocean by said horse. A couple Red Stripes make it perfection.
The cornmeal fried dough is called festival
I'm Puerto Rican, and I would LOVE to see you tackle some traditional dishes like pasteles or especially Pastelon; I think you'd love making it.
Babish the comparisons with the different methods/recipes are awesome! Please keep them coming!
Ainsley Harriott would be proud.
Hot and spicy meat, HEH HEAHHHH BOI
Heh heaaaaaah boiiii
Hehehehe
HÆhə bœý
you pick up your palette knife and then work that into your meat give your meat a g o o d o l r u b
Uh oh- 👀 anticipating this one. Ok watched it and not only did you do it Justice but you served it perfectly with the rice and peas and plantain
. I’d say the hybrid marinade is most like how many Jamaicans do it now. You need an angry auntie criticizing your methods and you’re perfect 😂
Stop lie to that man no way that would fly in Jamaica or any heavy Jamaican community
@@Vagaboy66 it will actually pass although the rice is a bit plucky plucky
@@Vagaboy66 Do people just come to watch these videos to cry and complain? Every single cooking video is filled with people who are absolutely desperate to cry about how wrong it is. Get a life fam.
@@enneidrarose9645 I agree, it would do well. I’d say use par boiled rice next time maybe
@@scladoffle2472 some people care for the authenticity of a culturally significant dish. If you dont like the criticism then move on and get a life
"And of course you will die immediatley..."
Hang on, I gotta try something.
As a proud and true Jamaican, this out a smile pon mi face.
As a Jamaican the only thing I had issues with was the wetness of the rice🙃
Agreed
For sure
Same I was like this is all the right ingredients but it looks wrong🥲
And his pronunciation. Plan-tains. I cringed hearing that.
@@sarahkoji Ikr?
Great! Just missing the SWEET (yellow/black) plantain. Also we tend to not MASH it, but SLICE it long side.
Big up Caribs! 🇻🇮🇦🇬🇹🇹🇯🇲🇧🇧🇰🇳etc. Add your flags 😆
🇬🇾🇬🇾
Yessir only ting is he said planTAIN🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧🇧
🇭🇹🇭🇹
🇬🇩🇬🇩
🇧🇸
This recipe looks absolutely amazing!
This was an excellent video of the food in the grill!
Reminds me of Toronto with all the Jamaican restaurants.
Why would Chris Traeger make a grill? Doesn't sound like him.
For mushrooms and turkey burgers of course!
To truly perfect his patent pending turkey burger.
he got TRAEGERRED.
but let's be real, if Chris Traeger MADE a grill......this would be it
It would LITERALLY be the best grill ever.
easily peel the plantains by cutting off the ends and slit sides lengthwise along the ribs. Cover with water in a microwave-safe bowl. Nuke on high for three minutes. Allow to cool and peel.
I'm still rocking a 20 year old Traeger. Your new one makes me jealous.
This is a great recipe and my friends went crazy for it when I served it to them. I barbecued mine over lump charcoal in my kamado style barbecue. Delicious!
Super yummy dish to make is Leaning Tower of Pisa Honeycakes from Arthur episode, "Dad's Dessert Dilemma"
you always come up with these nice things from Simpsons
RIP Arthur, the show's wrapping up and the final season's going to be aired sometime in 2022.
I've been rewatching the older (better) seasons with my kids and I second this proposal!
Right before he realized he was asking his dad for too much he was about to ask for 4 cakes 6 pies and a sachertorte. I’d like to see Babish make that.
Make Big Smoke's food order from GTA: San Andreas.
"Two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda." Go ahead babish, do the deed!
Yes Please Andrew😁👌
The best part is that there was a UA-camr who even went through and figured out what all the components of the order are. I think his name is warbear
I love it how his basics series has evolved to dishes I've never heard of
Always wanted to know how to make this. Thanks for giving a great recipe.
when this opened with a Treager I was SUPER hoping for that discount code lol.
or else you may get TRAEGGERED.
The founder of Traeger now works for Pit Boss designing smokers for them. I've had one since February and love it, you get more cooking space for the money with more features and the metal is thicker so it holds temps better. went with the Austin XL
Nah, they want you to buy these things full price.
BASICS FOREVER, still has the best intro and soundtracks! The tips are great too though!
bau.
best intro song INDEED!!
Anyone else want White Yardie to react to this just because?🤣 I personally think Babish nailed it. My family's seasoning mix and cooking method is also similar.
My workplace sells these grills. It's always fun to watch people get excited over their new toy.
Told ya on ya gram, the Jamaicans will come.out for this video lol....its noted quite a bit but SWEET plantains, my guy. Take the seeds out of the bonnets and add some Hardo Bread and you set. But on the real, this is a great video. Way to go!
A nice idea to make is the Donut and Cookie Dough S'more from Ducktales episode, "Astro B.O.Y.D."
Or versions of grits from the Ducktales episode, "Launchpad's Civil War".
This man will order a $400 wagyu ribeye, but can’t find a can of gandules/pigeon peas in NY🤣🤣🤣
If you wanna color the traditional mix even better, you can use stuff called browning. It adds alot of color and it doesn't overpower the flavor.
I like how much on screen experimentation you do! Makes me feel better about trying different things when I’m cooking!
He missed out on ginger 🥺🥺🥺
It would’ve helped give it a richer flavor
Am I crazy in thinking anchovies are usually in it too?
@@Marcicus93 nah anchovies usually go better with lamb.
Been wanting to make this ever since I went to Grand Cayman. Thanks Andrew!
Loving this recipe! Reminds me of when i went to Jamaica as a kid.
I just wanted to say about the Pigeon Peas: you can actually find those in the Hispanic Foods aisle of your local supermarket. They're under the Goya brand, and are mostly known by their spanish name: Guandules.
Hope this helps!
Jokes on you, Andy, I've already wanted a Traeger grill. I just can't afford one
Wait for fathers day, or head into the back display area in home Depot, there's almost always a slightly damaged one you can get discounted
@@aidenburnside6380 This sucker is $1,200, I'm sure even a discounted model is going to be out of my price range.
Look at a pit boss as an alternative, a little more reasonably priced but still really high quality, and American made if thats your kinda thing
@@Pheatan Awesome, thanks!
@@MichaelAlthauser Just to add onto this, I actually assemble, sell, and deliver Traegers for a living. They're nice, but not worth the price imo. Also, don't buy the "special" or "limited" versions in roadshows or from costco, they're inferior versions. Pitboss is a solid "cheap" version. DO NOT BUY GREEN MOUNTAIN GRILLS.
Maybe you can make the Ultimate Pizza from The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron episode, "Sleepless in Retroville"
"Peanut butter and clams and hot fudge"
Or what about Jimmy's Candy from Krunch Time?
And to the top you go
Am I the only one who watches babish when I sleep? Not cause the videos are boring or anything his voice is just soothing 🤣🤣
I was just commenting about that version of frying plantains just yesterday on another video from a different channel. The fry/smash/fry version is top notch. A Cuban immigrant taught me at the Dorothy Day house we used to volunteer at. He also taught me the boiling the can of sweetened condensed milk to make dulce de leche. Just always make sure the can is covered with water, or it could explode, which almost happened to me the one time I tried it at my house.
So this is amazing!! The Jamaican in me was ready to see what you would do with this lol the only thing I probably wouldve changed is the plantain you used, we tend use those green ones in our soups and fry the sweet yellow softer ones with our other dishes. Otherwise really not too bad for a recipe 😊
You don't fry green plantain?
@@matthewdarby9290 we do but it's pretty rare. The sweet is more common to balance out all the spice we eat
@@rondeeshalee8927 true
@@matthewdarby9290 do y'all make green plantain chips? I'm not Jamaican but from a south american country (and not Spanish) and my dad makes them for me. I freaking love those things.
We use small green banana in our broths, and I like to boil ripe plantain. I not a fan of green plantain, too starchy. Super sweet fry plantain with brown sugar and cinnamon thooo! Yum!
Can you make Smothered Porkchops/Chicken Fried Bacon/Chicken Fried Bananas from Everybody Hates Chris episode, "Everybody Hates The Gout"?
Don't forget the salt
One of my all-time favorite shows!
I greatly enjoy my traeger. My preferred wood is their big game blend. Hickory, red and white oak, and rosemary
You also could use grace Browning liquid. Very common in Jamaican cooking.
That chicken looks absolutely mouthwatering, and here I am just stuffing my face with Cheerios on a Thursday morning.
It’s 4pm my guy
Edit: I forgot about the fact that time changes in other countries
nothing wrong with cheerios... but lets be honest this would be much better :,)
You know you live in NY; and yet I have yet to see you tackle any Puerto Rican food...I would love to see you try anything from the Island of Puerto Rico.
My dude couldn't find gandules
Or pastries like "quesitos" (roughly translated to "little cheese".
@@sjgb214 yeah he might want to drive or take a bus/ train to Union City right on the other side of the Lincoln Tunnel 🤔 I'm 100000000000000000000000% sure he will find any Spanish/ Latin America/ Caribbean ingredients he needs 😉
So! Those were tostones fried plantain is usually ripe 😊 We eat green plantain fried (and not smashed) but fried ripe plantains (also no smashed) is what you’d typically see as an accompaniment with most of our meals. Very impressed that you a similar result.
Fun fact about flattening plantains-
You can actually flatten them with the plantain skin you peeled off. Just pretty much sandwich the plantain in between and flatten up. 👍🏻
Coming from Jamaica myself I approve of this master piece of a video.
Awesome idea to see is you making the Super Shaggy Sandwich from Scooby-Doo Where Are You episode, "Hassle in the Castle"
I'm so happy to see Babi making tostones!
Alex, pigeon peas can be found in the hispanic/latin section of most supermarkets under the name "gandules", as they are referred to in Spanish.
You were doing well until the plantains gotta use ones that are ripe so it’s sweet and don’t smash them
Just gave it a quick google and those are called Tostones, Green Plantains Smashed and everything. Maybe your not used to them but this is a thing out there.
Those are called tostones and they are a thousand times better than ripe fried plantains imo, lol.
@@lyexer lol I know but I’m West Indian and we don’t eat it that way we eat it the way as I stated and that’s the way it’s served at most Jamaican restaurants
Yeah ripe plantain is more the traditional side added to meals, but we do enjoy the smashed green plantains too. It's a regular for many of us.
@@na-oe5lu I eat that all the time and both my parents are from Jamaica. I guess it differs depending on where you are from.
"Hehe boi"
I came for the hot and spicy meat. Yeahh Boii
Finally... Someone who's a meme cultured as well.. Lol...
"rub your meat, nice and hot"
Babish is using 6 scotch bonnet peppers! I'm from the Trinidad 🇹🇹 so we eat scorpion pepper here... but even I would never throw that many scotch bonnets in! Either he can really handle spice, or those are terribly weak! The fact that he smelled the mixture and didn't comment on the smell says something though 😅
In place of soy sauce, I use a mixture of fermented black soybeans and black garlic. You can use less so it doesn't overpower the flavor, plus they both lend a lot of complexity that soy sauce alone simply doesn't have. And it gives you that same dark brown color. More allspice will also give you a better color. I've always used a 2:1 ratio (by volume) of whole allspice berries to fresh thyme leaves. I also char the onion and peppers before adding them, which helps with color and flavor.
No fried dumpling/johnny cakes? Heartbroken. Would love to see you tackle goat curry too.
*Curry Goat*
@@makememoan7017 ahhh the great debate
Excellent. Greetings from Scotland. Have a lovely day everyone!!
As a Jamaican living in Jamaica I approve this recipe, had almost exactly this for dinner last Sunday
Puertorrican here. The smashed plantain is called Tostones over here, and they are traditional served alongside rice dishes and universally in carribbean dishes. Mostly alongside pernil and arroz con gandules.
Jamaican here, not bad. 👏🏾👏🏾
Jamaicans Assemble 🇯🇲 if you think Uncle Rogers Critiques are harsh just wait if you get this wrong…..
Son of an expat Jamaican checking in. Gotta say this looked pretty on point.
Jamaicans pronounce plantain as plantin but cant fault Babish for that
@@711unite yea I can't fault him for that that's a cultural thing.
Lol so true, I was a bit nervous for him 🙈 I loved that he did the two variations in the seasoning recipes and then did a combo of both.
Are the tostones smashed style of plantain traditional? Every Jamaican place I’ve ever eaten at had the sweetened, caramelized kind that were not smashed.
Doesn’t it fly in the face of this episode to say it’s basics and then use a super futuristic barbecue grill
Absolutely, but the whole "Basics with Babish" shtick has essentially been sold at this point. I've seen lots of episodes with ingredients or equipment that is far from "basic".
"And then I throw the chicken on my $1,200 pellet grill..."
Fried plantains make an excellent vessel for trying out different hot sauces as well.
I want a Jamaican man to react to this video.
Here in Brooklyn my boyfriend's mom gets Goya pigeon peas all the time.
They're really not that hard to find.
Yeah! In queens they’re pretty easy to find too.
First of all, I really appreciate the accurate subtitles in nearly all of your videos! Especially as someone whose first language isn't English. But in this one specifically, the word "plantains" was changed to "plantations" so many times I started to doubt myself... 😅
Just make sure you start that traeger (or any pellet smoker) with the top open until you get a bright flame or else there’s a risk of fumes from the pre fueled pellets exploding. Excited to make this recipe on my Pit Boss!
You should totally make Gigantamax Curry from Pokemon Sword and Shield video game
That Traeger grill is LITCHERALLY..... one of the coolest looking grills ever.
Seen Babish making tostones, unexpected but it made my day.
I so wish that all the critics would go start their own cooking channel and subject themselves to the armchair chefs, who have nothing better to do than criticize others.
Every cooking channel I watch, there is always people griping about something- people, life is hard enough, quit being so dang negative.
Every person is unique and individual and their interpretation of a traditional recipe might be a bit different- live, love, experiment and broaden your horizons!
Thank you Andrew, for sharing your amazing gift with us!!
With every food 😭 "that's not how you actually make it" says the people who eat their steak burnt
