What kind of rice did she use??
Hell yeah Keke!! I'm making this for my girl tonight, I hope she likes it 🤞 you're awesome ♥
I married a guy who grew up in southeastern MA in a Portuguese/Cape Verde home. He has longed for his mother’s jag ever since I met him. (She passed away before we met). Being from an Irish/Polish home, I was really bad at any attempts to make a good jag. I have to say, after following your video EXACTLY- he sat down, took a mouthful, and I saw the eyebrows go up, a smile, and a big ‘mmmmm’. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Ty Kiki I really appreciate your info…Amen
Jagacida is made with xerem flour not rice
That looks more like arrozada
My grandmother, Nha Maninha, use to do it with congo beans and xarem.
My mom was born in 1945 in new Bedford ma. She made this for me and my 5 older siblings all the time growing up. I made it for my kids tonight. She wasn't a fan of the beans. We make it with pea. Her trick was. She added the pea juice to the rice water.
Yummyyy thanks!!xoxo
