COCONUT MILK CHICKEN ADOBO
When I left home, adobo was a dish I could cook off the top of my head. The name was bestowed by Spanish colonizers, referring to the use of vinegar and seasonings to preserve meat, but the stew existed long before their arrival. It is always made with vinegar, and often soy sauce, but there are as many adobo recipes as there are Filipino cooks. In this version, coconut - present in three forms: milk, oil and vinegar - brings silkiness and a hint of elegance. Every ingredient announces itself; none are shy. The braised whole peppercorns pop in your mouth.

Steps:
- In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium-high until shimmering. Add the garlic, whole peppercorns, freshly ground pepper and red-pepper flakes, drop the temperature to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is toasted and softened and mixture is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook over medium-high, undisturbed, until fat starts to render, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the coconut milk, coconut vinegar, soy sauce, bay leaves and 1 cup water, and let the mixture come to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken feels loosened and just about falling off the bone, stirring halfway through, about 1 hour.
- Increase the temperature to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened to a velvety gravy, about 15 minutes. Serve chicken and sauce over rice.
Tips:
- Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken cut into 8 pieces or boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. You can also use a combination of dark and light meat.
- Marinating the chicken: Marinate the chicken in a mixture of coconut milk, spices, and herbs for at least 30 minutes. This will help to infuse the chicken with flavor and make it more tender.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh coconut milk is best, but you can use canned coconut milk in a pinch. Use fresh ginger, garlic, and lemongrass for the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When browning the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Simmer until the chicken is cooked through: Simmer the chicken in the coconut milk mixture until it is cooked through. This will usually take about 20 minutes.
- Serve over rice or noodles: Serve the chicken with rice or noodles. You can also serve it with vegetables or a salad.
