FILIPINO ADOBO (PORK OR CHICKEN) WITH SLOW COOKER VARIATION
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.

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.

MOM'S FILIPINO CHICKEN ADOBO
My mother is Filipino, and I have been cooking or helping cook this dish since I've been old enough to reach the counter. I looked at some of the other recipes and mine is significantly different so I'm going to post it. This recipe is great for pretty much any pallet since it's not as tart as some other recipes. I also think the cinammon sticks are a necessity.

Steps:
- Place the liquid ingredients in a pot, starting with about half the amount of sugar. Taste and adjust the seasonings, the vinegar flavor will lessen during cooking, but if it is too sweet or too tart it's easier to adjust the sugar now than trying to adjust the other flavors at the end of the cooking to your preference.
- Add the cinnamon stick, peppercorns, garlic, bay leaves and chicken. If you don't want the seasonings in the final dish you can wrap them up in cheesecloth, but usually they're all left loose. Pack the chicken fairly tightly in the pot and if the chicken is not covered in liquid add water, often I add about 2 cups of water. The water can also help make the flavor less intense if the vinegar is too strong.
- Simmer on medium low for about 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through. I often leave it until the chicken is pretty much falling off the bones. Add water if you would like to thin out the sauce during cooking. This can also be done in a slow cooker that you start in the morning and leave on low for 6 hours. The meat will fall off the bone, but that just makes it easier to get at it all!
- Serve over rice with the sauce. One other addition I have made, though not traditional I believe is red pepper flakes (about 1 tsp) to the seasonings.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Cut of Chicken: For a flavorful and tender adobo, use bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces like thighs or drumsticks. These cuts hold up better during the long cooking process and provide a richer flavor.
- Marinate the Chicken: Marinating the chicken in the adobo sauce before cooking helps infuse it with flavor. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight for even deeper flavor.
- Use Quality Ingredients: The quality of your ingredients plays a significant role in the final dish. Use fresh garlic, ginger, and onions, and choose a good quality soy sauce and vinegar.
- Adjust the Spices: Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic, ginger, black peppercorns, and bay leaves to suit your taste preferences. You can also add a touch of chili flakes or red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Cook on Low and Slow: Low and slow cooking allows the flavors to meld and develop, resulting in a more flavorful and tender chicken adobo. Cook the chicken on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.
- Thicken the Sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can make a cornstarch slurry by mixing equal parts cornstarch and water. Add the slurry to the cooking pot towards the end of the cooking time and stir until the sauce thickens.
Conclusion:
Slow-cooker Filipino-style chicken adobo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for busy weeknights or potlucks. With its tender chicken, flavorful sauce, and versatile side dish options, this dish is sure to be a hit. So gather your ingredients, set your slow cooker, and enjoy a taste of the Philippines in the comfort of your own home!
