YELLOW CHICKEN ADOBO



Yellow Chicken Adobo image

Though widely accepted as the national dish of the Philippines, no two adobos are the same. This one calls for an unapologetic amount of turmeric, which has a somewhat bitter, definitely earthy flavor, and those deep, dark notes are backed up by charred coconut. This recipe is from Bad Saint, one of Bon Appétit's Hot 10, America's Best New Restaurants 2016.

10 dried bay leaves
2 tablespoons black peppercorns
2 tablespoons ground turmeric
1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 head of cauliflower, broken into small florets
1/4 kabocha squash, cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
1 small white onion, chopped
2 medium shallots, chopped
6 large garlic cloves, chopped
1 (3-inch) piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 (13.5-ounce) cans unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup sugarcane vinegar or distilled white vinegar, divided
4 chicken legs, drumsticks and thighs, separated
3 tablespoons (or more) honey
Unsalted, roasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas), thinly sliced Fresno chiles, and sliced scallion (for serving)
Special Equipment
A layer of cheesecloth

Steps:

  • Place bay leaves and peppercorns in center of cheesecloth and tie closed with kitchen twine; set sachet aside. Toast turmeric in a dry small skillet over medium-low heat, stirring often, just until fragrant (be careful not to let it brown), about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Cook coconut in same skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until burnt (not browned: burnt), about 3 minutes. Grind in a spice mill or with a mortar and pestle or finely chop. Transfer to another plate.
  • Heat oven to 375°F. Toss cauliflower and squash on a large rimmed baking sheet with 1 Tbsp. oil to coat; season with salt and pepper. Roast vegetables, tossing occasionally, until browned and tender, 30-40 minutes.
  • Heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Add onion, shallots, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring often, until golden brown and very fragrant, 8-10 minutes. Add red pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in toasted turmeric, coconut milk, and 3/4 cup vinegar. Bring to a boil and cook until liquid is reduced by about one-third, 20-30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare a grill for medium-high heat (or heat a grill pan over medium-high). Season chicken with salt and pepper and grill, turning occasionally, just until skin is charred (chicken will not be cooked through at this point), 8-10 minutes.
  • Add chicken and reserved sachet to turmeric sauce. Cook, partially covered, until chicken is tender, 60-80 minutes. Stir honey and remaining 1/4 cup vinegar in a small bowl until honey is dissolved; add to braise, then add roasted cauliflower and squash. Taste and season with more salt or honey as needed.
  • Divide adobo among bowls and top with burnt coconut, pumpkin seeds, chiles, and scallion.
  • Do Ahead:
  • Adobo can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat gently before serving.

COCONUT MILK CHICKEN ADOBO



Coconut Milk Chicken Adobo image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons coconut oil
15 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns, plus 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
4 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken drumsticks and thighs
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 cup coconut vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
8 fresh bay leaves
Cooked rice, for serving

Steps:

Chicken Adobo with Filipino Fried Rice and Charred Japanese Eggplant image

Classic Filipino garlic fried rice and chicken adobo make a perfect pair. The fried rice is a great accompaniment to many other dishes, including eggs for breakfast. The charred eggplant is a riff on ensaladang talong (roasted eggplant salad).

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 teaspoons whole black peppercorns
5 tablespoons canola oil
1 pound bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs and drumsticks
Kosher salt
1 yellow onion, sliced
3/4 cup soy sauce
3/4 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons palm sugar
8 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
4 fresh bay leaves
2 scallions, sliced on a bias
1/2 cup white vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 fresh bay leaf
2 Japanese eggplants, halved lengthwise and flesh scored
Extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 yellow onion, diced
2 Roma tomatoes, diced
1/4 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon annatto powder
1 1/2 cups cooked jasmine rice, preferably day-old rice

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Heat a large, high-sided pan over medium-high heat. Add the black peppercorns and toast for 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant, shaking the pan to evenly distribute. Transfer to a spice grinder and grind. Add 3 tablespoons of the canola oil to the pan and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering. Pat the chicken dry and season liberally with kosher salt. Reduce the heat to medium. Place the chicken into the pan skin-side down and sear without moving the chicken until the skin pulls away from the bottom of the pan and begins to brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook until browned on the other side, another 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan. Discard the excess cooking oil and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of canola oil to the pan.
  • Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 5 minutes. Add the soy sauce, vinegar, palm sugar, garlic, bay leaves, ground black pepper and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and add the chicken back to the pan. Cover and cook until an instant-read thermometer registers 160 degrees F when inserted into the center of the chicken, 15 minutes. Remove the chicken and allow to rest. Continue to cook the sauce, uncovered, until thickened and reduced, 5 minutes.
  • For the charred eggplant: Add the white vinegar, sugar and bay leaf to a small saucepan. Heat over medium high and bring to a simmer for 2 minutes. Stir to dissolve the sugar, then turn off the heat and set aside.
  • Preheat a grill pan to high heat. Brush the inside of the Japanese eggplants with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Place the eggplants on the grill pan, flesh-side down, and grill until slightly charred and there are grill marks on the underside, 3 to 4 minutes. Flip, then grill another 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the eggplants to a cutting board and slice on the bias into 2-inch pieces. Add the eggplant to a bowl with the onions and tomatoes. Pour the pickling liquid over the vegetables and toss to combine.
  • For the fried rice: Heat the canola oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and swirl the pan to melt. Add the garlic and annatto powder and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and the garlic starts to lightly brown, 2 minutes. Add the cooked rice and toss to combine, making sure the rice is fully coated with the garlic and annatto mixture. Cook the rice, stirring occasionally, until it starts to get crispy, 5 minutes.
  • To serve, place a chicken leg and thigh onto each plate, spoon the sauce around the chicken and garnish with the sliced scallions. Serve with the fried rice and charred pickled eggplant. Drizzle the eggplant with a little olive oil.

Tips:

- To make the best adobo, use a whole chicken that has been cut into pieces. This will ensure that the chicken is evenly coated in the marinade and that the meat is tender and juicy. - For a more flavorful adobo, use a combination of soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and black pepper. You can also add other spices, such as bay leaves, oregano, or cumin, to taste. - Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the flavors of the marinade to penetrate the chicken and make it more flavorful. - When cooking the chicken, be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. - Serve the chicken with rice, vegetables, and a side of adobo sauce.

Conclusion:

Adobo is a delicious and easy-to-make Filipino dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its tangy, savory, and slightly sweet flavor, adobo is sure to be a hit with everyone at your table.
