Since it's one of my favorite dish, I've tried so many times to cook it but never was I successful and because of those failures, I never attempted to try cooking adobo again. Well, that is until this evening. My husband, who was a million miles away from home has insisted (through yahoo messenger) for me to try his adobo recipe, Adobo Ilonggo style. I was a little hesitant at first but he said it would be easy and that I could do it. So with my husband's recipe which I got while we were chatting on YM, I went to the kitchen and started cooking my adobo. I was nervous and excited at the same time while preparing the dish for I don't know what's gonna happen. Will it be another failed attempt in making the most popular dish in the land? But lo and behold...
my adobo was a success! Dear husband was so proud.
Here are the ingredients for the adobo recipe:
- 1/2 kilo pork
- vinegar
- 1 head of garlic, crushed
- 1 medium sized onion, sliced
- atsuete/annatto seeds soaked in 1 cup of hot water
- cooking oil
- salt
- Maggi magic sarap
Directions:
- In a frying pan, saute garlic and onions in oil.
- Add the pork. Cook until brown.
- Add vinegar.
- Strain atsuete/annatto water and add it to the pan.
- Season with salt and magic sarap
- Bring to a boil
- When the liquid has dried up, add 2 tbsp of cooking oil. Mix well
- Serve
