ok, it's been a while since we had filipino food in this house. so today i decided to make adobo a very popular filipino dish and it's the kids and mr. L's favorite. unfortunantly, in times past it's always been a FAIL...it never comes out like my moms or as the kids would say "it's doesn't taste as good as lola's". today i found a recipe online and thought i would give it a try. well, i have to admit, i thought it was pretty good if i had to say so myself and i was right because the kids had seconds and mr. L even said this tastes just like your moms : ). scored! i found the magic recipe! so if any of you are interested, here's the recipe:
ingredients:
1 pound of pork cut into bite sized cubes
1/2 cup of white vinegar
1 head garlic, finely chopped (i put an extra few cloves)
3 pcs. of bay leaves
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 cup water
1 teaspoon peppercorn
how to make it:
with a little oil brown pork in a heavy skillet
ad vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaves, peppercorn and water.
bring to a boil, simmer for 20 minutes
when the juice is absorbed just add another cup of water.
cover and let simmer until pork becomes tender.
serve over rice.
bon appetit!

My dad makes the best adobo but I'll have to give this a try since they won't be visiting until November. That's a long time to wait.
