I'm ashamed to admit, I don't know how to make Puerto Rican dishes so I recruited my friend Rebeca Nieves Huffman to teach me how to make Puerto Rican arroz con gandules just in time for Christmas.
🤪Special appearances from my entire family.
😂My husband was the cameraman and sus chef.
🇵🇷Arroz con gandules by Rebeca Nieves Huffman
-3 tablespoons of olive oil
-2 large spoonfuls of Sofrito
-1 tablespoon of Sazon
-6 oz of Tomato sauce -2 cups of medium grain rice -2 cups of water (you can also use chicken
stock or broth)
-1 tbsp of Salt
-1 teaspoon of Oregano
-Pitted green olives to taste (personal preference here. I use about 1/4 cup)
-1 can of gandules (they are also called pigeon peas), drained and rinsed
Instructions
-Add your oil and sofrito and let cook for 1 minute. Then add tomato sauce and mix. Add the sazon, olives, rice, and water then give it a couple stirs to incorporate all ingredients. Then add the gandules.
-On the same medium heat let the mixture come to a boil and evaporate the vast majority of the liquid. Then cover the pot, lower your heat to low, and let it cook covered and uninterrupted for 20 minutes.
-Uncover and gently fluff up the rice with a couple of gentle stirs of the spoon (don’t too aggressive mixing or your gandules will break and turn into refried beans texture!).
-Enjoy!

My husband is Puerto Rican and I had to learn this dish 3 1/2 yrs ago because it’s like the staple dish in every Puerto Rican household.. I am a white girl but I learned quick when his sister taught me how to make this lol
I'm not Puerto Rican but my husband is and I certainly mastered the art of cooking Puerto Rican food..your love makes that food come out amazing.I' m proud of you girl I know you will be great at it. I have faith in you. Enjoy !..
Thank you so much. Let's see if I dare try to learn something else.
After 30 years I just started to learn how to cook Puerto Rican food 😂😂😂
I'm 46, estoy mas tarde que tu. But better late than never.
Making rice takes practice. Definitely use only one packet of Sazon add salt to taste. I am Mexican married to a Puerto Rican and I am officially the PR rice maker for all parties.
Oh I love that!! A ti te toca el arroz.
I was married to a puertorican for 20 years and I did all the cooking . I learned how to make everything. Alcapurrias, arroz, pasteles, tembleque, flan, etc. You name it .
@@sylviahawley6180 That's awesome. Best take away from the marriage? ;)
@@AnaBelavalTV yes after that I was with another puertorican man and he was shocked that I am Mexican and could cook all his foods 🤣
@@sylviahawley6180 That's great. Feliz Navidad!
Soy Mexicano, and i love my wife's puerto rican rice. My favorite is arroz con habichuela.
I love this video and hearing you two talk. It made me so happy to see you two interact, like being home. Thank you for the blessing 🙏🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yesss i love this!! You should have more guests on your channel. You have great chemistry
She was a great guest. Check out my Wednesday Whine videos for more interviews.
Little tip to make any rice, let the rice boil uncover (like Rebeca said) in medium heat, when the water evaporate and get to rice level cover up and lower the heat to the minimum. Let the rice finish and do not stir, stir and stir. When you stir the rice, you let the heat escape, only stir at beginning to combine well the ingredients.
Yes, I kept it shut for 20 minutes. No looksies.
Two words -
Glass lidded pot
I love my rice pan. I never have the urge to look.
One of my best purchases
We don't use sazon or oregano. We still make fresh achiote for color and alway fresh sofito. Looks good, good job!
That's how I make mine just like you...
Ana, you're legitimately funny. Thanks for the awesomeness.
Thank you so much!
I love puerto rico food
Love it ana!
Oh my God this was soooo fun to watch! 😂 Love the both of you ❤️
Rebeca is the best! Thanks for watching.
I so enjoyed this! Your enthusiasm is contagious.
Oh thank you!
My mother ALWAYS made her own sofrito, to the point that I didn’t even know it was sold in stores until I was in college. I was shocked! 😄
nothing better than the seasoning of the mother... my mother cooked delicious but she is no longer here.. I miss her so much....
Sorry to hear that. I hope you can make some of her recipes even though I know they won't taste like hers.
I just learned how to make arroz con gandules for the 1st time this Thanksgiving! It came out great on my 1st try because I only made 2 cups of rice! 😂😂😂
You rock!
These are the steps I use to make my arroz con gandules, too. I used to boil my rice without frying it a little. I realize it cooks quicker when the rice is fried and the cold water that gets added to the rice is boiling hot. That's, the first step I do is boil cold water for the rice. Be careful adding the boiling hot water to the rice, it could splatter a little. But, overall, I love the sound it makes being added to the rice.
Good for you Ana ! Nothing better then cooking our food for our family. I haven’t met anyone that didn’t like Puerto Rican arroz con gandules. 🇵🇷🙏🏼
Me neither. It's the best comfort food ever.
Happy it came out good
Me too.😄

Just so you know, there is fluid ounces (fl oz) that referes to volume & ounce (oz) that referes to weight.
I make my own sofrito and on one of my trips to PR my sister gave me a few bottles of that sofrito and his garlic as well. It was delicious. I was born and raised in Chicago lived in an apt bldg front of Humboldt Park. Now I live in Tampa,Florida. Saludos a las 2.
I went to Chicago. I loved Humboldt park I felt like I was in puertorico.
I make my own sofrito too....always!
You are better than me. LOL
Yes Humbodlt park in the house!❤️🙌🏾
It being your first time definitely made this a lot less intimidating, thank you! My boyfriend walked over to the kitchen to hug and kiss me after serving him this lol! At 34 I have begun the process of cooking good arroz con gandules 🤙
I think my next challenge is wither pastelon or sancocho.
Damn girl since i saw you throw in so much salt i knew it was going to be Salado. I prefer to add 2 packets of sazon and reduce the salt.
Never to late to learn something new. Soon you be having more recipes to add on to your book for Amelia. I learned around the age 12 but by eye only en la cocina con mami. Today i have thought my 3 adult kids and 4 yr grandson who loves to cook. His favorite arroz con cornbeef
I'm determined to do that.
@@AnaBelavalTV i dont know if you seen Tropical Cake Pop on facebook but she just an arroz con gandules with masa de guineo and calabaza i have to go back and find it
Your video’s are funny 🤣😂😂 I’m only 7 minutes in 🤣🤣😂😂
Thank you! I am no cook, let’s just say that.😂
Had fun watching ladies ! No hacieron el achiote! 😂 pero sofrito great. Looked yummy and edible. Happy noche buena y Feliz Navidad. Bendiciónes!!! La big olla Classic !😊 Awilda Seda NJ
Edible? Muchacha, I almost ate the whole thing by myself. The sazon had achiote by the way. Bendiciones para ti tambien y Feliz Navidad.
My Mom uses Chef Piñeiro's sofrito. It's good!
Soooo good.
Jajaja acabo de encontrar esta pagina mi novia es Hawaiiana y le enseño estos vídeos pa aprender... pero tu cara de asustada me encanta ... jaja es arroz todo va salir bien solo confía en tus ancestros y todo sale bien
Eso mismo, I channeled our ancestors y me salio de show. Buena suerte a la novia. Yo voy a ella.
Shout out to "Armitage Produce" the Puerto Rican go to.
My go to always.
Armitage Produce the best in Chicago!!.. And Central Park Produce!!.. My favorite places from back in the days!
@@sonig4149 DA BEST!
You will definitely notice the difference when you use the right caldero. Also, when you make it with pork, yum. I was taught to boil my water in a different pot then add the boiling water. Just curious if anyone else does it. Both my mom (Moca) and my mother in law (Santurce) did it. I know everyone makes it different. I was taught without tomato sauce. I did it one time and my kids didn't like it. So I stick to no tomato sauce. I have watched many videos and your rice looked good 👍.
Dito Ana !!!! crazy vegan Puerto Ricans are gonna come after you for using that Sazon lol 😂 necesita aChote
Es casi vegan, entonces.😁
Whaaaaaat
You are so funny! I love you! Girl if I make my own Sofrito at home so can you, don't buy it make it fresh and freeze it! Much love!
Estamos en las mismas Ana. I'm very ambitiously trying to make EVERYTHING this year.
A falta de la cocina de Mami, toca.
2020 Is About Making New Traditions.
PRecisely.
Can it be made without olives? Love Rebeca!
Yes, of course! My son doesn’t like the olives so I either put a very small amount or not add them at all
Your next food should be mofongo or pasteles! 😋
If I were to use achote oil instead of sazon, would I use a tablespoon?
Love this dish. I had a very good Friend who is a New York Puerto Rican and she taught me how to make this dish. We use one envelope of sazon and we add adobo to it also. It could be too much sazon that's making it taste salty.
Puerto Rican neighbors who cook are the best. ;)
@@AnaBelavalTV you're ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!! I just LOVE your culture 🥰
Newyorican lol that's what they are called.
@@sylviahawley6180 Not if they live in Chicago. LOL
@@AnaBelavalTV that would be chicarican 🤣
Ana, I'm in Chicago, a donde consigo sofrito?Cause they dont have that at Marianos. lol
Where is Armitage produce?
Armitage Produce for sure.
De que parte de Chicago eres? Yo vivo en Logan Square
West Lakeview.
Sabrás que me enseñaron que el arroz se mezcla con tenedor para que no se amogolle y literalmente me dio un patatús cada vez que lo revolviste con la cuchara!! Lo voy a intentar pero con jamón por lo menos!!
Now that you mention it, I make my white rice and mix it with a fork. Never a spoon. LOL
My mom don't Rinse the Rice either!!
What happen to the jamon or salchichon
We made it without because in Rebeca’s house they don’t eat pork.
Confession time, my American wife makes better arroz con gandulez than this jibaro nacido en Caguas, PR.
Buuuuuttt I still make better pernil so I call it even 😁
Saludos desde Cleveland!
Great channel 🇵🇷❤️
I love it! Good for you. Merry Christmas!
I never drain can of gandules
You was supposed to put jamon y salchichon for arroz con gandules
We said in the video that we skipped the jamon to make it vegan friendly.
Y mucha practica🤣
Oh I see I didn't see the whole video..
@@elbamedina1910 No te preocupes. I am putting bacon next time.
@@yolandamontalvo3557 Asi mismo es.
What’s “ sofrito”?
This video is for someone who knows Spanish. and English since you mixed both in the explanation. Also if one doesn’t have “sofrito” in one’s grocery store you didn’t talk about “ sofrito” what to do if there’s a supplement you can use.
You can make sofrito from scratch because it's basically green peppers, garlic, and a few more spices. You can google the recipe. The friend you see in this video has a recipe on her UA-cam and Tik Tok. I always buy mine already made.Sofrito is the basic ingredients for a lot of Puerto Rican dishes.
You kinda did put a lot of salt
Ni yo!!! Mami es Argentina y no cocina comida criolla Boricua
Aqui voy poco a poco. LOL
I knew that was going to be salty smh
LOL
Well done but the olives gotta go.
