FILIPINO ADOBO (PORK OR CHICKEN) WITH SLOW COOKER VARIATION



Filipino Adobo (Pork or Chicken) With Slow Cooker Variation image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 -4 lbs pork (cut in 2-inch cubes) or 3 -4 lbs chicken (cut into serving pieces)
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
2 -3 bay leaves, crumbled
2 teaspoons peppercorns (whole)

3/4 teaspoon ground pepper
2 teaspoons salt (optional, I do not put it in, it is what the original cook uses)

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.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h40m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

2 cups white-wine vinegar
2 cups low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
2 heads garlic, cloves separated, smashed and peeled
12 bay leaves
4 pounds chicken wings, split at the joint, wingtips removed and discarded
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion
1 1/2 teaspoons minced peeled ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 jalapeno, stemmed, seeded and minced
1 1/2 teaspoons tomato paste
2 very ripe bananas, mashed until smooth (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup white wine vinegar
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark rum (optional)
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons thinly sliced flat-leaf parsley leaves

Steps:

  • Combine the vinegar, soy sauce, pepper and smashed garlic in a blender and puree until smooth. Pour the mixture into a 12-inch wide, 2 1/4-inch deep nonstick skillet, stir in the bay leaves and submerge the wings in the marinade. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and up to 6 hours.
  • Meanwhile, make the Banana Ketchup: Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the ginger, turmeric, allspice, garlic and jalapeno and cook, stirring until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring until lightly caramelized, about 1 minute. Add the mashed bananas, vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce and rum, if using, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Scrape the sauce into a bowl, press a sheet of plastic wrap against the surface and let cool. You should have about 1 cup.
  • Remove the skillet from the refrigerator and place over high heat. Once the marinade begins to bubble, cook the wings, gently moving them around and flipping occasionally, until cooked through, about 25 minutes. Use tongs to transfer the chicken wings to a bowl and set aside. Stir the onion into the sauce and continue cooking over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is reduced to a glaze and the onions are soft, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour the glaze and onions over the chicken wings and stir to coat evenly.
  • Transfer the wings to a serving platter and top with parsley. Serve with banana ketchup on the side.

EASY FILIPINO PORK OR CHICKEN ADOBO



Easy Filipino Pork or Chicken Adobo image

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!!!

Categories     Pork

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 -3 lbs pork (cubed, save bones) or 6 -8 chicken drumsticks
water (enough to submerge all meat)
4 garlic cloves (mashed)
1/2 cup soy sauce (estimated)
1/2 cup white vinegar (estimated)
salt & pepper (to taste)
1 bay leaf
1 -2 tablespoon lard (if sauteing) or 1 -2 tablespoon coconut oil (if sauteing)
3 medium red potatoes (optional) or 3 medium yukon gold potatoes, cubed (optional)

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).

Steps:

  • 1. In medium heat and pot, sautee chicken, ginger, and garlic in oil. Lower the heat and cover the pot and simmer for 5 minutes or until the chicken juice out. Do not add water unless it gets a little dry. You may use about 1/2 cup of chicken broth instead.

AUTHENTIC FILIPINO CHICKEN ADOBO



Authentic Filipino Chicken Adobo image

My father was stationed in the Phillipines for a few years when I was young. My mom hated the heat. In fact, this recipe was one of the few things she actually loved about the place! Our 'house-girl' taught us the joy of chicken adobo, and we taught her the joy of pancakes. VEGETARIAN'S NOTE: I now substitute tofu for the chicken, cutting the tofu into chunks and letting it soak in the liquid ingredients (other than water) and with the garlic and onion for some time before I start cooking so it absorbs the flavor a little more like chicken. Still an absolute favorite for my family!

FILIPINO CHICKEN ADOBO



Filipino Chicken Adobo image

My sister-in-law is Filipino and made this dish one night for dinner for me. I fell in love! The meat just falls off the bone when you eat it! I have tweaked this recipe a bit to my liking and now you can enjoy it too!

Provided by Leah Stacey

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 9

3-4 lb chicken wings and drummets thawed
1 1/2 c vinegar
1 1/2 c soy sauce
1/2 c water
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
6 Tbsp brown sugar
8 clove garlic, chopped
1/4 tsp ground ginger
5 bay leaves

Steps:

  • 1. In a large pot combine all the ingredients. Bring to a boil and lower the heat to a simmer (med low) for about 45 min.
  • 2. Take the lid off the pot and let simmer for about 15 minutes longer. Serve over rice (Calrose is my favorite!)

Tips:

  • For a more authentically Filipino adobo taste, use a combination of soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaves, peppercorns, and garlic. Adjust the amount of each ingredient according to your personal preference.
  • The best cuts of chicken for adobo are bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks. These cuts will stay moist and flavorful during the cooking process.
  • If you're using a slow cooker, cook the chicken on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
  • To make the adobo sauce thicker, remove the chicken from the pot and bring the sauce to a simmer. Cook the sauce for 10-15 minutes, or until it has reduced by about half.
  • Adobo chicken can be served with a variety of side dishes, such as rice, noodles, or vegetables. It can also be used as a filling for tacos, burritos, or empanadas.
  • For best results, marinate the chicken in the adobo sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • If you prefer a sweeter adobo, add 1-2 tablespoons of brown sugar or honey to the sauce.
  • If you want a spicier adobo, add 1-2 teaspoons of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the sauce.

Conclusion:

Adobo chicken is a delicious and versatile Filipino dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you prefer a classic adobo or a more modern version with a twist, there is an adobo chicken recipe out there for everyone.
