Filipino Recipes – Chicken and Pork Adobo – Pinoy Food
Being one of the favorite foods of the Filipinos, the adobo has several variations. The pork with chicken marinade is a recipe that is always present in the weekly menus of families since it is a combination of two of the meats most loved by the pinoy palate. It also works to the benefit of moms who are confused between pork marinade and chicken marinade because there is no longer a need to choose between the two. In my case, my husband loves the pork adobo while my son always orders the chicken adobo. To satisfy both of you, I always end up cooking chicken and pork marinade.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds chicken breasts (boneless, skinless, and cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 1 1/4 pounds pork loin roast (boneless and cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 2 garlic cloves (crushed)
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 2 bay leaves (broken)
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns (coarsely ground)
- 1 cup white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (optional)
- 3 tablespoons of salt
Cooking instructions:
- Use salt and pepper to season chicken and pork. Then put all the meat in a soup pot. Add the broken bay leaf and crushed garlic. Cover with white vinegar and soy sauce. Cover the pot and place it in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours or overnight to marinate.
- Cook over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer until meat is tender when tested with a fork, usually about 1 1/2 hours. To prevent drying out, add a small amount of water if necessary.
- Remove meat from cooking liquid. Return the liquid to the pot and bring to a simmer.
- Over medium-high heat, cook meat in vegetable oil while stirring. Continue cooking until all sides of the meat are browned. In the last 3 minutes of cooking, add the remaining crushed garlic.
- Add all the meats to the boiling liquid and cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Serve hot with plain white rice.
