There are many ways of cooking our favorite dish-the Adobo. Let me share with you the best Adobo recipe I have tried and tasted so far.
But first here is a tip to make your kitchen odor-free. Be kind to your neighbors, let them smell the aroma of your adobo by cooking outside, in the patio. If this is not possible, boil some water and add in some cloves. The cloves will absorb the unwanted smell of garlic and vinegar inside your kitchen. If your husband is sensitive to this smell dare to cook inside your house. I promise you, you will either be kicked out or nobody will visit you anymore... anyway, the clove mix will save on house cleaning.
Ingredients:
* ½ pound chicken * ½ pound pork * 1 head garlic, crushed * 1 cup thinly sliced onions * 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper * 1 piece bay leaf * 1 teaspoon salt * ¼ cup soy sauce * ½ cup white vinegar * 1 tablespoon Virgin Coconut Oil
Procedure:
In a cooking pan, marinate the chicken and the pork in vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic and bay leaf for 30 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Do not add water (do not use aluminum pan or aluminum frying pan).
Remove the chicken from the marinade. Boil the pork in the mix then simmer for 15 minutes. Add the chicken and simmer for another 15 minutes or until tender.
Remove the bay leaf.
In another frying pan, caramelize the sliced onions. Remove the sauce from the pork and chicken mix. Add the VCO and fry until brown then add the onions.
Now, if you don't have VCO, forget everything... order some pizza.
You found some oil? Ok, olive oil will do. Sauté the mix and add the sauce. Simmer for 2 minutes... presto, you have the best Adobo.
