Adobo is considered as the Philippines national dish. As the name suggested, this is one of the many Spanish-inspired inclusions in the Filipino cuisine. There are many variations to the technique and ingredients employed in the preparation of this dish but the common ground to all is the subtle sourness of vinegar and the aroma...

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lb boneless chicken thigh
1/2 c white vinegar
1/2 c onion, chopped
5 Tbsp soy sauce
1 tsp black peppercorns, coarsely crushed
4 bay leaves
2 1/2 Tbsp sugar
1 c water
1/2 tsp garlic, minced
1/2 c fresh mushrooms, sliced
salt to taste
cilantro, chopped, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse chicken under cold water and pat dry. Cut into 1/2 inch thick pieces. Place aside in a thick pot.
  • 2. Make a marinade of vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, garlic, peppercorns, bay leaf, and 1/4 cup of the water and add this to the chicken in the pot. Let sit for about 1/2 hour stirring occasionally.
  • 3. Meanwhile, saute the onions in about 1 Tbsp. of oil until translucent and fragrant then put aside.
  • 4. Bring the pot of chicken and marinade to a boil and lower the heat. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes then add the mushrooms and remaining water.
  • 5. Once again bring to a boil and season with salt if necessary.
  • 6. Garnish with cilantro and serve with hot rice.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use a whole chicken cut into pieces or boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a quicker cooking time.
  • Brown the chicken: Browning the chicken before stewing adds flavor and color to the dish.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Potatoes, carrots, celery, onions, and bell peppers are all classic stew vegetables, but you can also add other favorites like zucchini, green beans, or corn.
  • Add some acidity: A splash of vinegar, lemon juice, or white wine can help to brighten up the stew and balance out the richness of the chicken and vegetables.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. A bay leaf or two can also add a nice flavor.
  • Simmer gently: Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for at least 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • Serve with crusty bread or rice: A simple side of crusty bread or rice is the perfect way to soak up all the delicious stew juices.
