Port Adobo

Pork Adobo Recipe

1 lb Pork Loin - cut into chunks *
1 Head Garlic
1/4 c dark Soy Sauce (Datu Puti is best, to my experience)
1 ts Black Pepper(freshly ground)
1/2 c White Vinegar (Again, Datu Puti is very good)
1 tb Vegetable Oil
Some pineapple (optional)

Place the pork in a medium-size pot together with the garlic soy sauce pepper and vinegar and let stand for 2 hours.
Cook slowly in the same pot until the pork is tender (about 30 minutes).
Transfer pieces of garlic to a seperate pan and fry in hot oil until brown.
Add the pork pieces to the garlic and the fry until brown then Drain.
Add the broth to the fried pork and garlic and simmer for 10 minutes.
After 8-10 minutes, add some pineapple, if you like. It gives the adobo a bit sweeter taste
You could also use pieces of chicken instead of pork for a nice variation, or add some pineapple pieces to make it all a bit sweeter.


* You can also do this with chicken. The recipe will stay the same.
