Great
4:02 Lmao
@f0xmuld3r Get yourself some basmati rice, rince it in cold water. Boil 2 parts water for every one part of rice. (I like to cook my rice in chicken stock in lieu of water.) Add the rice to the boiling water or stock, return to a boil, cover, turn the heat to low, cook for about 18 mins. Simple.
@oleedee NOPE, use FRESH garlic, no matter what you think’s in the vid! Garlic powder & salt have way too much salt in ‘em already, never use that stuff!
@stephenfavell Go ahead & make it then! GREAT stuff & you can take the leftovers to work.
Awesome
this replaced roast boar as my favorite food that ive never actually eaten
ok, honest question. I love to cook and I’ll cook anything once. So how do I ask for Banana Leaves at my local Mexican grocer? Their English as about as good as my Spanish ( meaning not so good)
For all of us in the UK, Pork Butt is actually Pork Shoulder. Get it off the bone from a good quality butchers (please not organic) and you will not regret the extra few quid it costs…I actually found that the end taste of this recipe was a bit too pickled “vinegary” and not “orangey” enough for my taste – had this dish in Wahaca. Will probably use more OJ and less vinegar next time and put sliced oranges over the meat. But this recipe is delicious and as cool as. Hasta Luego dudes.

@f0xmuld3r Now you got me wondering….damn….
this guy can get any girl
those arnt cloves. thats garlic dust right?
I cooked this with every original ingredient, even the 75€ Tequila – was easy to cook but hard to get everything. Did it exactly as he told us to und it was AWESOME!
@f0xmuld3r nah you gotta use pure vinegar so it tastes as good as this question was smart^^
BTW.. I use the coffee grinder for the spices. But for the garlic I buy pre-minced garlic.. saves time and much better than dried garlic powder, IMO.
I make this a few times a year.. family and friends love it. I just made some tonight and this time went with 6 whole Habanero chilis.. seeds and all. It mellows out a bit with the roasting but still packs a punch. Whew!.. good stuff on garlic rice.
@cherrera7
What to cook for my big date???? Eager to impress I headed over to cookingdinnerfortwo (.) com great inspiration to be found there…
@ScorpEUs92 fahrenheit
325 celsius would completely ruin your pork. a slow roast needs lower heat.
@ScorpEUs92 fahrenheit
Gotta say, Rodriguez has got a sexy voice.
325 Fahrenheit or 325 Celcius?
@ThisIsntMyTaco
You need to be told how to make RICE?? LOL.
How does he grind the garlic into a powder or is it garlic powder? If so how much does he use?
