CHICKEN ADOBO WITH COCONUT MILK (ADOBO SA GATA)
In the Philippines, adobo is both a beloved cooking technique and a tangy marinated and braised meat dish. It'sakin to the French coq au vin, but with a flavor all its own. You can use different types of meat or fish, but chicken is a favorite. Serve with steamed or fried rice.

Steps:
- Whisk together vinegar, soy sauce, coffee, and brown sugar in a bowl until sugar is dissolved.
- Heat coconut oil in an 8-quart Dutch oven over high heat. Working in batches, add chicken, skin sides down first, and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate.
- Drain all but 2 tablespoons drippings from Dutch oven and return to heat. Add chopped garlic and fry until light brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove to a small bowl, leaving drippings in the pot. Add shallots and minced garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until shallots are translucent and garlic has browned, about 5 minutes.
- Put peppercorns and bay leaves in a square of cheesecloth tied with kitchen string. Add browned chicken quarters, vinegar mixture, and spice bundle to Dutch oven. Bring to a boil; boil for 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add shiitake and oyster mushrooms, coconut cream, and turmeric. Cover and simmer until chicken is tender, 15 to 20 minutes more.
- Cut leg quarters in half at joint or pull meat from bones and shred. Remove spice bundle and skim fat from sauce. Return chicken to the sauce. Sprinkle with green onions and the fried garlic.

COCONUT MILK CHICKEN ADOBO
When I left home, adobo was a dish I could cook off the top of my head. The name was bestowed by Spanish colonizers, referring to the use of vinegar and seasonings to preserve meat, but the stew existed long before their arrival. It is always made with vinegar, and often soy sauce, but there are as many adobo recipes as there are Filipino cooks. In this version, coconut - present in three forms: milk, oil and vinegar - brings silkiness and a hint of elegance. Every ingredient announces itself; none are shy. The braised whole peppercorns pop in your mouth.

Steps:
- In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium-high until shimmering. Add the garlic, whole peppercorns, freshly ground pepper and red-pepper flakes, drop the temperature to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is toasted and softened and mixture is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook over medium-high, undisturbed, until fat starts to render, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the coconut milk, coconut vinegar, soy sauce, bay leaves and 1 cup water, and let the mixture come to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken feels loosened and just about falling off the bone, stirring halfway through, about 1 hour.
- Increase the temperature to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened to a velvety gravy, about 15 minutes. Serve chicken and sauce over rice.
CHICKEN ADOBO IN COCONUT MILK
This is another recipe from "The Philippine Cookbook". I made this recently for my husbands Filipino birthday dinner. I used cubed boneless skinless chicken breasts. I just cooked it in the pot until the sauce was reduced. I didn't bother with the broiler. I also used white vinegar as I don't care for apple cider vinegar. It was great! I might try it in the crockpot next time.

FILIPINO BEEF ADOBO WITH COCONUT MILK
This is from "The Philippine Cookbook". It's a great tasting recipe. My favorite. I think the recipes that use coconut milk have Indonesian influence due to their proximity. This recipe can also be made with pork or chicken.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork. Pork shoulder (also known as pork butt) is the best cut of pork for adobo with coconut milk. It's a tough cut of meat, but it becomes incredibly tender when cooked slowly in a flavorful sauce.
- Marinate the pork overnight. This allows the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the meat, resulting in a more flavorful dish.
- Use a large pot. Adobo with coconut milk is a hearty dish, so you'll need a large pot to accommodate all of the ingredients.
- Cook the adobo over low heat. This will allow the flavors to develop and the meat to become tender.
- Serve the adobo with rice. Rice is the traditional accompaniment to adobo, and it's a great way to soak up the flavorful sauce.
Conclusion:
Adobo with coconut milk is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of pork, coconut milk, and spices creates a flavorful and satisfying dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to cook pork, give adobo with coconut milk a try. You won't be disappointed!
