Thank you kenny for the play by play. It is definitly useful and helpful to actually see somebody do it instead of following a recipe. The only thing that I wish you were said in your videos is how long do you cook the grandules in the pot and the arroz afterwards.

Gracias Kenny! I liked the videos, arroz con gandules is my all time favorite comfort food. But I never saw you put in the gandules?!? Also compadre, I think it comes out better if you boil the oil with the achiote, then strain it. I love all the cultural references, it was like being back in PR!

Introduction to Puerto Rican Arroz Con Gandules
Hey everybody in Expert Village. I'm Kenny Morrero with Expert Village. I'm here just to kind of share a little bit about my culture, a little bit about my background. My family's from Puerto Rico. We're all from the islands, although I'm a New York Rican. It's alright though. It's still in the heart. My father was a chef in Puerto Rico. I’m a graduate from college by the way. Good thing for all you college people out there. Good going. Also as a college survivor, what I've learned is to eat in your save a little bit more money. That's why I've inherited some of my father and my mother's skills for purposes of survival. So here we go. The dish that I'm going to be preparing for you is actually one of my personal favorites. It's arroz con gandules mezclado con picantes y chuletas picadito bien chiquitito. For anyone that doesn't understand Spanish out there. There really is no proper way to say arroz con gandules in English, so you're just going to have to figure it out. Arroz con gandules picado con tanito de chuletas.
