Time 2h

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons neutral oil, like grapeseed or canola
2 to 3 pounds boneless pork butt or shoulder
Salt and pepper to taste
10 shallots, peeled and left whole
1 or 2 small chilies, stemmed, seeded and minced, or dried chilies, or to taste

Juice of a lime, or more to taste

Steps:

  • Put oil in a large deep skillet or casserole that can later be covered; turn heat to medium-high. Brown pork on all sides, turning as necessary, and adjusting heat so the meat browns but does not burn. This will take about 20 minutes. Season it with a little salt and pepper.

Cook, turning occasionally, for at least 90 minutes, or until the pork is tender; add additional coconut milk if mixture dries out.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h40m

Yield 16 cups

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup lime juice
1 cup orange juice
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1/3 cup minced garlic
1 minced jalapeno or serrano pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound skinless boneless chicken breast (or fish), cut into 1-inch cubes
Kosher salt
1 pound red or Yukon potatoes, chopped
1/4 cup vegetable or peanut oil
1 cup chopped red onions
8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
4 ounces carrots, split lengthwise and sliced
5 scallions, sliced on the bias
5 cups chicken stock

One 14-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk
1/4 cup brown sugar, plus more if needed
1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
Sea salt and lime tortilla chips, for serving
Freshly chopped cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • For the chicken: In a large bowl, stir together the lime juice, orange juice, cilantro, garlic and chile peppers along with a pinch of salt and some pepper (you are basically making a ceviche mixture). Add the chicken and stir together. Cover and refrigerate.
  • For the stew: Bring a pot of water to a simmer and add salt. Simmer the potatoes until tender, 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In a 6- to 8-quart stainless steel pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the onions, mushrooms, carrots and scallions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and browning slightly. Add 2 1/2 cups chicken stock, the lime juice and the potatoes and bring to a boil. Boil vigorously 5 minutes, then lower to a simmer and add the chicken ceviche mixture, the tomatoes, coconut milk, brown sugar, curry powder and the remaining 2 1/2 cups chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Taste and adjust with additional salt and pepper as needed. You may add more brown sugar, 1 teaspoon at a time, to deepen the flavor or knock down any acidity, but don't go too far!

COCONUT MILK CHICKEN ADOBO



Coconut Milk Chicken Adobo image

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.

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons coconut oil
15 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns, plus 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks and thighs
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 cup coconut vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
8 fresh bay leaves
Cooked rice, for serving

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.
