FILIPINO ADOBO - A love Affair

If there is one other thing that we Filipinos are known for, aside from the fact that we can be found in almost every part of the world, is our love affair with a dish called ADOBO. The word adobo have already became synonymous to Filipino.

Adobo is a dish that every Filipino love, infact every Filipino who loves to cook have their own (secret) adobo recipe, some even says that there are 101 ways to prepare/cook the dish and they were not exaggerating I, myself believed there could be more. Actually I've been collecting and testing(and tasting) different kind of adobo recipe for quite some time now.

The dish mainly is a melange of different flavors for the taste buds, a fine blend of sour, salty,sweet and spice. Almost all types of foods can be cooked in this particular way of cooking, meats like pork, beef or chicken are the most common types, although other kind of meats (even exotic ones) and seafoods can also be as good.

Among my favorite variation of the dish is the C.P.A. or Chicken/Pork Adobo in fact, I'm going to share this recipe in my next post, so that those who haven't tried the dish may try this. But before I give the recipe I just want give this pointer, cooking adobo is not an exact science, its all about gut feel, the amount of ingredient and spices may vary according to your taste. Some like it sour, some like it more on the sweet side and some like it spicy. Like I said, its all about guts.
