Pinoy’s Adobo Delight
Are you looking for a perfect dish to serve for the family? Certainly, the Pinoy adobo could be an ideal choice! Recognized as the Philippines’ national dish, adobo is an authentic Pinoy favorite that involves marinated meat stewed in a sauce of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaf and black peppercorns. Chicken, pork, or combinations of both, are the most common meats used. Fish and other seafood could also be good alternatives to experiment with.
There are various ways in cooking adobo. It is not surprising that this Filipino dish has gone a lot of experiments and mixes, creating an array of unique recipes. Adobo can be cooked dry or moist. Some people fry their adobos for crisp edges, while others prefer to serve it with its original sauce. Some recipes even include coconut milk for added flavor. Orange juice and lime juices are also incorporated, as well as a pinch of brown sugar to create a more distinctive taste. Flour and cornstarch are the thickening agents you can put in your adobo. But whatever style of cooking you are going to apply, the tenderness of the meat is a prime concern.
To assure a succulent taste, this recipe could be perfectly cooked in the best slow cooker. Experience how the meat falls off the bones when you eat it, incredibly delicious – just right for a luscious meal before the day ends. You can also savor the slightly thickened sauce that is really tangy. Simply place the pieces of meat in the slow cooker and combine all the ingredients in a separate mixing bowl. Then, pour the mixture over the meat and cook on low for about 6 to 8 hours. Or better yet, marinate the meat overnight before cooking so that the flavor will be readily absorbed in the meat fibers. If you want to reduce the amount of sauce in your adobo, you can set aside the meat and heat the sauce over stove. Finally, serve your delectable adobo with steamed white rice. What a great meal!
Whether you opt to have it on breakfast, as a main dish for lunch, or the star of your dinner feast, adobo is significantly enjoyed by everyone. No doubt, in all parts of the country, adobo is a known dish with lots of faces. It is a comforting food that captures the Pinoys’ appetite.
This indigenous cuisine has grown tremendously over time. From being a favorite dish in every Filipino home, it is now a much-loved viand in most restaurants and other food bistros all over the country. Either high-class restaurants or just your simple carenderia across the street serves their own delightful adobo recipe. It’s relatively easy to prepare and won’t cost you much, since the ingredients can be bought at hand.
