you know my beans should be nice and tender now just gonna give that a quick stir so we're on to tip number four no tip number four is a combination of two things first one being no matter what type of rice that you're using I'm using long green brown rice parboil it is important that you wash that rice yes wash that right so you're gonna rinse it until the water runs clear now the reason why you're doing that it will help well first of all to get rid of all of that grit and it will help this rice that when it clump together it's gonna be gritty and will be starchy and the second tip I'm gonna put some more liquid in here too to cook that rice the second part of that tip of tip number four is once this comes up to a boil remember to solve this accordingly once it comes up to a boil leave it stirred and leave it alone put the lid on there and leave it alone allow it to do its thing so that is tip number four wash it if you using white rice if you using brown rice whatever rice you're using wash it and once it comes to a boil leave cover it and leave it alone just want to quickly show you guys something where this is leading into step five now by said to leave that alone right so what I've done now I've it took the fully off it is completely off but this is sort of a clay pot that I'm cooking this rice and peas in so it's still retaining some of that heat take the heat off put the lid back on there and let that sit for a good 15 minutes next step and that is tip number five we're gonna take a fork and we're gonna flick that rice to get it nice and Shelly so basically tip number five for the ultimate to make rice and peas get a fork it's been done no for about 15 10 15 minutes you're just gonna take a fork and that's gonna fluff that up and it's just gonna as my mom would say it would be you the rice nice or the Jamaicans would say make the rice nice and Shelly remember now this is when you're gonna remove those stems from the time if you had done the other route and floated that scotch bonnet pepper in here this is when you would remove it the pimento berries that we started off with you can remove those at the same time as well nobody wants to get that in there rice and peas Chris you're even fuck'em my 5 tips for the ultimate jamaican rice and peas or peas and rice enjoy [Music]
