Steps:
- Season pork and chicken with salt and pepper and place in a stock pot. Rub with crushed garlic and torn bay leaf, and coat with vinegar and soy sauce. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Bring meat and marinating liquid to a boil in a cast iron casserole or Dutch oven. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until meat is tender, about 30 minutes. If necessary, add water to prevent sauce from drying out.
- Strain liquid from meat and set aside; discard bay leaves. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the pork and chicken on all sides; reduce heat and stir in remaining 2 cloves of smashed garlic. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Pour in reserved cooking liquid, and continue simmering until sauce is slightly thickened. Serve hot.

EASY FILIPINO PORK OR CHICKEN ADOBO
One of the most popular dishes of the Philippines!!! I'm half Filipino...this is the method both my parents used to cook this yummy meal. I like to add potatoes to the Pork style only. Also note: This is as close to the measurements that I could guesstimate. When I was taught to cook this dish, my parents would just dump in the ingredients. I've done the same since and learned to perfect it on my own. I chose to use some of the ingredients I listed because my belief in traditional diets. Lard, coconut oil and bones (for marrow) give the dish the most authentic flavor you can find. When my grandmother would cook with bones, she'd break them to release as much marrow as possible. I hope you're willing to try it and enjoy it! My family and In-laws can't get enough of it!!!

Steps:
- You may sauté meat prior to making this dish but in this version it is not necessary. If sautéing, heat lard/oil in large frying pan. Add meat. Fry on medium to med/high heat until golden brown. Then follow instructions below --
- Place meat (and bones) in large sauce pan.
- Add just enough water to submerge all of meat & bones.
- Bring to boil. As pan warms up, add vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaf and desired amount of salt and pepper. (Remember soy sauce is already pretty salty.).
- Simmer and cover for about 40 minutes. (or until chicken looks like it's starting to fall off the bone)Stir periodically.
- IF ADDING POTATOES -- simmer for about 20 minutes add cubed potatoes, bring back to boil -- simmer for about 20 more minutes.
- Remove bones prior to serving.
- If sauce is not slightly thickened after 40 minutes, you may use corn starch to do the trick -- however it will lighten up the color of the sauce.
- Serve over steamed Jasmine or Calrose rice (Jasmine is available in a brown rice).
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 meat: For pork adobo, use pork shoulder or pork belly. For chicken adobo, use chicken thighs or drumsticks. These cuts of meat are flavorful and hold up well to the braising process.
- Use a good quality soy sauce: Soy sauce is the key 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 deep, rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the meat: Adobo is a braised dish, so the meat should be cooked until it is tender, but not overcooked. Overcooked meat will be tough and dry.
- Add vegetables to your adobo: Vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers can be added to adobo to make it a more complete meal.
- Serve adobo with rice: Adobo is traditionally served with rice. Rice helps to soak up the delicious sauce and makes a great accompaniment to the meat.
Conclusion:
Adobo is a delicious and versatile Filipino dish that can be made with either pork or chicken. It is a flavorful and savory dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, adobo is sure to please everyone at the table.
