Thank you so much for reminding me of my childhood in the South Bronx in New York City in a vacant lot listening to salsa music and authentic Puerto Rican food in vacant Lots inside the bowels of New York City South Bronx, the Bronx. Thank you JJ both of you
I just would like to say. I have been trying my hand with your help. I have recently moved to West Virginia. And trust me "there no Spanish Eateries to be found. So to you both, I wish the very best. And with your help and guidance and 🙏 . I will learn more about our people. Because if I can learn how to Cook Spanish Food. I will learn more about myself. Much ❤️
Se ven deliciosas yo siempre las he hecho con guineos Y plátanos pero la voy a tratar con yautía se ve muy ricas gracias Deseo ver tus otros videos espero que sean tan delicioso como éstas alcapurrias Muchas gracias
One of my favorite things to get at the chuchifrito place in Washington Heights. That and the meat and cheese empanadillas and bacalaitos. Ah memories.
They look very authentic! Had to subscribe just so I can watch the rest later. So far your recipes are the closest to Puerto Rico I’ve seen, yet in a professional manner. Thank you for all you do! 🇵🇷
@@JeffandJosPuertoRicanKitchen Oh wow. Yes please; I don't know if you guys have done a Pernil with a delicious crunchy skin. That would be Awesome! Oh, and maybe a tasty recipe of some, Coquito.??? There is nothing better than to share some delicious Coquito with family and friends around the holidays. Thank you so much, and please keep sharing your great recipes.
Yummy! Love alcapurrias 😋😋 My grandma did them a little smaller and even sometimes when she didn't have the picadillo she did fill them with corn beef. They were pretty good but I love them more with the picadillo. Thanks Jeff. Looks delicious. Must eat them as soon it comes out from frying it's taste is much better cause letting it sit it would get a little soggy and oily. 😁
That's awesome Mildred! Thanks for sharing! Since you mention it, we really need to do something with corn beef. People keep bringing it up, but it's not something I've cooked a lot with. Guess ill have to experiment ;p
Thanks. Alot. I like the paperplate and also the aluminum idea .i was using a baggie. Loved you idea and your ingredients. I made them with plain green plantains then i made them with plain geen bananas at last i was making them with half banana s and 1 plantain now im gonna try your ingredient s and your method. I think your method is going to win. .thanks again .
Mmm they look so good! Just like my mommas! Brings back memories of PR vacations! My mom does something similar but she uses parchment or wax paper. Either way! Amazing! Thank you!
Thank you I just learned how to cook them I wasn't sure if I should fry them or put them in the oven I'mma tell you about husband Puerto Rican isn't the first time I'm making them
Thank you very much for all of your videos, it has helped me greatly in learning to cook Puerto Rican foods. If possible could you please include tips on freezing many of your recipes. So I can share this great food with friends and family.
Hi Cody! That’s so wonderful to hear! We will try to keep that in mind for future recipes but the freezing will depend on each recipe. Let me know which specific recipes and I can give additional insight. For e.g., for the alcapurrias, you want to freeze them before you fry them and then take them out of the freezer and fry them.
Hi, I don’t think it matters what you freeze them in, you can use a ziploc bag, but the important thing is to make sure that there is wax or parchment paper between each of them so they don’t stick together.
I made Alca's these weekend. They came out GREAT!!! Gonna have to ask my Titi if I can get some leaves sent to me. Been thinking of a silicone mold for them. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
This looks like a great fritter! I heard that crunch! Love the supplementary footage! Looks legit! Looks like you got the technique down. Just need to make 100 more :)
Hi! In a couple of our attempts the Alcapurrias have opened up - which of course is a no-no. My oil is plenty hot (between 310 & 325F) so I think that can be ruled out. This happened the next day after pulling the leftover“masa” and picadillo from the fridge and went straight to cooking. Any help or thoughts are appreciated. Love your show! Hèctor and Niurka
Hi Hector! Sorry to hear about the alcapurrias opening up--definitely gotta see if we can fix that. In my experience, when I've had alcapurrias open up on me while they are frying, it's because the layer of dough surrounding the picadillo gets too thin. This might be happening because there's too much picadillo, or as a result of shaping it. A couple things that you might want to try: (1) use a little bit more dough, (2) don't press the picadillo down too far, or else it will come out the other side. If that still doesn't do the trick, the other thing that might be at fault is that there is too much liquid in the dough (the liquid evaporates as it cooks, and the steam can cause the alcapurria to burst). If that's to blame, you might be able to fix it by adding a little bit of cornstarch to the dough. Hopefully that helps! And let me know if not and we can keep trying to trouble shoot. Best! Jeff
Jeff and Jo's Puerto Rican Kitchen Thanks for your quick response Jeff! Will definitely keep you posted and will keep an eye out for what we’re doing while shaping and avoiding too much picadillo (hard to resist that one 😀). Definitely will watch for too much moisture. I guess the more experience the better we’ll get at it. Thanks again for responding to our questions. Keeping an eye out for your next video! H & N
Will try it I can't belief I'm watching at 5 am already watched 4 of your recipes 😜😜😱😱🤤🤤😴😴this is my favorite dish. I actually love the yuca ones with shredded stewed beef can u do a video pls? Gracias

After you make the Maza, should you put it in the fridge overnight or for a few hours to let it settle or should I assemble the alcappudias and fridge it and if so for how long?
Love the paper plate technique!! Thank you for sharing. Just curious, instead of yautia, could one use yucca? Where I am yautia is very hard to come by
I haven't tried it, but think it's probably possible. The only trick will be getting them to keep their shape while they are freezing. The dough is really soft, but maybe if you wrap it in parchment paper or something? Would love to hear how it turns out if you try it.
I love these whenever I went to Puerto Rico. The ones with crab are to die for.
Oh yes! So good. Gotta go out to los kioskos de pinones 😃😃

Love the paper plate technique!! Thank you for sharing. Just curious, instead of yautia, could one use yucca? Where I am yautia is very hard to come by
It would have a different consistency. You can try the ones that are just yuca. www.jeffandjopr.com/post/alcapurrias-de-yuca
Excellent video! What kind of food processor do you have?
Looks delectable 😋
Nothing like a good alcapurria after a long day on the beach!
Any suggestions on an easier way to prep/ clean the green bananas?
That’s a tough one and one of the main reason why so many people just buy these.
Mongo = limp. great video. The chef in pinonos used yucca instead of platano. Have you tried them that way? Thanks for all your recipes.
You are welcome! We actually just released a new recipe this week for alcapurrias de yuca. Check it out!! ua-cam.com/video/qM8TqUv2jOo/v-deo.html
También se puede cortar un galón plástico de leche y hacer un buen molde..para mi es lo mejor,porque el plástico desliza muy facilmente..
Great idea!!
Tk u i spend alot of $$$ not knowing how to nake them. now i can make my own.
Quisiera saber cuanto es el tiempo para freir las alcapurrias ,que no vallan a quedarme crudas por dentro. ?
Como 8 minutos cuando se echan a freír frescas ☺️

Can you make and freeze for frying later?
I haven't tried it, but think it's probably possible. The only trick will be getting them to keep their shape while they are freezing. The dough is really soft, but maybe if you wrap it in parchment paper or something? Would love to hear how it turns out if you try it.
@@susangazaway2892 make sure you drain any liquid it holds when freezing the masa. Yes you can freeze it.
Delicious, ty
Thank you!
Excellent 💯
Can you freeze them after you shape them to fry them later?
Sure can!! When you are going to fry them after freeze them just let them thaw a bit to make sure that it gets cooked all the way through.
What happened to them? All these videos are old. Awesome cook
We are on a little break. Work and our little one are taking all of our time!
