FILIPINO ADOBO (PORK OR CHICKEN) WITH SLOW COOKER VARIATION
For about 20 years this recipe was just a lovely memory. When DH was in grad school one of his professors invited the entire class and their families to enjoy a Filipino meal prepared by his wife, Priscilla. She fed about 50 of us seated on the floor in front of long rolls of paper! 20 years later, that professor is no longer at this school but my husband and his son-in-law now teach here. Rachel, Priscilla's daughter, shared her Mom's recipe with me. She has added slow cooker instructions to fit her busy lifestyle but it is still the same great flavor that her mom prepared for us over 20 years ago. Thanks Priscilla and Rachel!! **NOTES** - Cooking time 2 hours stove or 6 hours slow cooker. - Slow Cookers vary in cooking times - adjust according to your appliance. - Freezer instructions courtesy of Erindipity.

Steps:
- Note: The original recipe just called for vinegar. I use Apple Cider Vinegar - just use what you have. Some reviewers have used rice vinegar and been pleased. Rice vinegar seems to have a touch of sweetness. Do what pleases you - experiment and have fun in the kitchen.
- Stove top instructions.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a large pot. (The women who shared the recipe with me put the spices into the pot freely. Reviewer Felina suggested tying the spices into a cheesecloth to so that you get the flavor but don't bite into the peppercorns while you eat the dish - a stainless tea ball works too. Do whichever please you).
- Allow everything sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
- Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low; simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours (leave lid slightly ajar).
- Remove lid and cook 10 minutes more.
- Serve with rice.
- Slow Cooker instructions.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a slow cooker. (The women who shared the recipe with me put the spices into the pot freely. Reviewer Felina suggested tying the spices into a cheesecloth to so that you get the flavor but don't bite into the peppercorns while you eat the dish - a stainless tea ball works too. Do whichever please you).
- Allow meat to sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
- Cook on high for 3 hours or on low for 6 hours until pork or chicken is done (time depends on your slow cooker).
- Serve with rice.
- (Freezer instructions courtesy of Erindipity).
- To freeze: Combine all ingredients in a ziptop bag. Freeze.
- To serve: Thaw overnight in the refridgerator. Allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes; cook as directed.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of pork. Pork shoulder or pork belly are the best cuts for adobo, as they have a good amount of fat that will render out during cooking and keep the meat moist.
- Marinate the pork overnight. This will help the flavors of the adobo sauce to penetrate the meat and make it more flavorful.
- Use a good quality soy sauce. The soy sauce is one of the key ingredients in adobo, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is dark and flavorful.
- Don't overcook the pork. Pork adobo is best when it is cooked until it is tender, but not overcooked. Overcooked pork will be dry and tough.
- Serve adobo with rice. Adobo is typically served with rice, which is the perfect way to soak up all of the delicious sauce.
Conclusion:
Pork adobo is a delicious and easy-to-make Filipino dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its simple ingredients and bold flavors, adobo is sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give pork adobo a try. You won't be disappointed!
