When it comes to dishes and appetite, both my mom and my dad cooks the best meals around, especially when it comes to adobo, menudo, barbecue, afritada, sinigang, pinatisan, inasal, kawali and a lot more. Today, we will be cooking one of the Filipinos' sought after dish, the adobo.
Of course, mom will not permit to expose her top secret recipes online so I managed to take a look at some basic recipes for mixed adobo (chicken and pork). Do follow these easy steps to impress your lover and make him/ her look for you more! As the saying goes, the only way to a person's heart is through his/ her stomach.
The following ingredients, which makes six servings, can be bought in any market!
Ingredients:
1 lb. chicken
1 lb. pork
2 tbsp. minced garlic
1/2 c. boiling water
3 bay leaves
6 tbsp. vinegar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
6 peppercorns
1/4 cup soy sauce
Procedure:
1. Cut the chicken and the pork into sizes that you desire. Don't cut too big and too small chunks. The average size would be about the size of a circle formed when you touch the tip of your index finger using your thumb.
2. In a skillet, combine chicken, pork, garlic, bay leaves, vinegar, soy sauce, salt and peppercorns.
3. Let the mixture stand for 10 minutes. You may marinade it if you want.
4. Boil the mixture. Use average flame intensity.
5. Cover and allow to simmer until water is evaporated, about 1 hour. The fragrant smell will signal that you're on the right track.
6. Then, take the mixture out of the skillet and transfer it to a basin for garnishing. Voila! Your adobo is now ready to be served for dinner.
