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.

PHILIPPINE PORK ADOBO -CROCKPOT
I was new to Filipino Adobo and tried this easy version. The vinegar & soy taste are entirely different than south of the border adobo. I used meaty country style pork ribs - NOT baby back ribs. Bone in pork shoulder or even a sliced pork butt work work well. Adapted from a recipe by Life's Ambrosia.

Steps:
- 1. Line crockpot with liner bag or lightly spray with cooking spray. Place slices of onions in bottom of crockpot. I do this to help prevent the meat from sticking to the liner.
- 2. Lightly season both sides of the pork with salt and ground pepper. Place on top of onions.
- 3. Spread the garlic, peppercorns, bay leaves evenly over the pork. Pour in the soy sauce and vinegar.
- 4. Cover and set on high. Check at approx 4 hours. The pork was very tender at that point without falling completely apart.
- 5. Serve atop cooked rice. Garnish with green onions, cilantro. I also sprinkled with crushed red pepper flakes.
SLOW COOKER ADOBO PORK
This makes a lot of juicy, extremely flavorful and tender pork for tacos. One of DH's faves! He likes his pretty spicy, so if you don't, you might start with less cayenne and work your way up. NOTE: You may wish to check your pork after about 4 hours on high or 6 hours on low as some reviewers have reported that their pork was done sooner.

Steps:
- Trim fat from tenderloin; cut pork into chunks. Place onions then pork in a 4- or 5-quart slow cooker. In a medium bowl, stir together tomato sauce, water, sazon, chipotle peppers, garlic, salt, cumin, coriander, cayenne, and pepper; pour over pork in cooker. Add bay leaf.
- Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours or high-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours. After looking at reviews, you may wish to check meat earlier as some have said theirs was done far sooner. See NOTE in description :).
- Remove pork from cooker. Using two forks, shred pork. Reserve half of the pork (about 3 cups) and 2 cups of the sauce; store as directed below. Mix the remaining pork with 1/2 cup of the sauce. Discard any remaining sauce.
- Serve with your choice of taco shells and toppings. We use fresh salsa, pepperjack cheese, sour cream, and jalapenos on soft flour tortillas. Makes 4 servings and reserves.
- To store reserves: Place shredded pork and sauce in separate airtight containers. Seal and chill for up to 3 days. (Or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator overnight before using.).

FILIPINO CROCK POT ADOBO
I'm a busy Filipino and don't have time to watch my adobo simmer OR I forget to defrost the pork butt. So I just throw everything in a crock pot set at high (even my pork butt frozen!!).

Steps:
- Combine all ingredients except potatoes into crock pot. Set on high and cook for 4 hours. Add potatoes and cook for an hour more. You can shred the pork in the crock pot. I pull the pork out and cut into chunks and add it back into the adobo.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, brown the pork in hot oil before adding it to the slow cooker.
- Use a variety of soy sauces for a more complex flavor. Light soy sauce will give you a lighter color, while dark soy sauce will give you a darker color and a stronger flavor.
- Add a spoonful of brown sugar or honey to the slow cooker for a slightly sweet flavor.
- Garnish the adobo with green onions, cilantro, or fried garlic before serving.
- Serve the adobo with rice, noodles, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
This is slow-cooker Filipino Pork Adobo is an easy and delicious way to make a classic Filipino dish. The pork is tender and juicy, and the sauce is flavorful and rich. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. Serve it with rice, noodles, or vegetables for a complete meal.
