- .RH MOD.RECIPES-SOURCE CHICKEN-ADOBO M "30 Mar 85" 1986
- .RZ "CHICKEN ADOBO" "Filipino chicken with garlic"
- Adobo is the national dish of the Philippines. Most warm-weather countries
- have through the centuries developed recipes that preserve food while
- flavoring it. This dish is different than many because of its strong
- component of vinegar. It is at once sour, salty, and drenched in garlic.
- .IH "Serves 4"
- .IG "2 lb" "chicken pieces," "1 kg"
- cut up or whole
- .IG "1" "head of garlic,"
- coarsely chopped (yes, an entire head!)
- .IG "4 Tbsp" "soy sauce" "50 ml"
- (or more to taste)
- .IG "1 tsp" "ground black pepper" "5 ml"
- .IG "2 cups" "water" "500 ml"
- .IG "\(12 cup" "vinegar" "250 ml"
- (rice vinegar or white wine vinegar work best)
- .IG "2" "bay leaves"
- .IG "2 Tbsp" "cooking oil" "25 ml"
- .PH
- .SK 1
- Put vinegar, bay leaves, pepper, soy sauce, and water in a saucepan.
- Cover and cook slowly about 15 minutes.
- .SK 2
- Meanwhile, heat the cooking oil in a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan.
- Peel the garlic, break the cloves into chunks, and brown them over
- medium-low heat (about 5 minutes).
- .SK 3
- Add the chicken to the frypan and brown it over medium-high heat (about 5
- minutes).
- .SK 4
- Add the broth to the frypan and simmer, partly covered, until the chicken is
- done (about 30 minutes). Do not let it come to a boil.
- .SK 5
- Remove the bay leaves and serve over rice. This dish is too strongly
- flavored to go well with wine; try serving it with beer.
- .NX
- You can substitute pork for the chicken, or mix the two. In the Philippines
- it is the custom to marinate the meat for two days rather before simmering;
- with the top-grade meats that are universally available in our grocery
- stores, that is not necessary (though it does deepen and enrich the flavor).
- To marinate the chicken, mix in the broth and 3 of the garlic cloves
- after step 1, then put the chicken in a glass dish and pour the marinade
- over it.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 1 hour.
- .I Precision:
- approximate measurement OK.
