Best 2 Chicken Pork Adobo Philippines Recipes

Adobo, a beloved Filipino dish, is a delightful symphony of flavors that has captivated taste buds for generations. This culinary treasure is a delectable union of chicken and pork, lovingly simmered in a savory blend of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and bay leaves. The result is a tender and succulent duo, infused with a harmonious balance of tangy, salty, and aromatic notes.

The adobo journey begins with the chicken and pork, marinated in a fragrant mixture of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, bay leaves, and black peppercorns. Patience is key as the marinade works its magic, allowing the flavors to penetrate deep into the meat, promising an explosión of taste in every bite.

Once the marinade has done its work, the transformation begins. The marinated chicken and pork are gently placed in a pot, where they are lovingly embraced by a simmering broth infused with the marinade's tantalizing flavors. As the pot simmers, the aroma of adobo fills the air, a symphony of savory scents that beckons from the kitchen.

The alchemy of adobo continues as the chicken and pork surrender to the tender embrace of the broth, absorbing its rich flavors and releasing their own essence in a harmonious exchange. The result is a culinary masterpiece, where the chicken and pork emerge as tender and succulent, adorned with a glistening glaze that hints at the delectable flavors within.

Accompanying the adobo are three additional recipes that elevate the dining experience. The first is a refreshing cucumber salad, a delightful counterpoint to the richness of the adobo. The second is a vibrant tomato salsa, adding a burst of freshness and acidity to each bite. And lastly, a simple yet flavorful steamed rice, the perfect canvas to showcase the adobo's exquisite flavors.

Together, these recipes form a complete and satisfying meal, a testament to the versatility and boundless appeal of adobo. Whether enjoyed as a family feast or a casual weeknight dinner, adobo is a culinary journey that promises to leave a lasting impression on your taste buds.

FILIPINO ADOBO (PORK OR CHICKEN) WITH SLOW COOKER VARIATION

Filipino Adobo (Pork or Chicken) With Slow Cooker Variation image

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.

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.

Use a good quality soy sauce: The soy sauce is the main flavoring ingredient in adobo, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a soy sauce that is naturally brewed and has a rich, savory flavor.
Don't overcook the meat: Adobo is a relatively quick-cooking dish, so it's important to not overcook the meat. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry.
Serve adobo with rice: Adobo is traditionally served with rice. The rice helps to soak up the delicious sauce.
