Cook your pork and chicken adobo as usual, and pour in diluted sweetened peanut butter during the last few minutes of cooking. The result is a rich and subtly sweet stew with all the sour-salty-garlicky-peppery goodness of traditional Filipino adobo.
In this adobo and egg rice bowl recipe, chicken wings are deep fried before braising in adobo sauce. The texture is fantastic. The chicken wings absorb the flavors of the sauce better too.
A modern way to serve Filipino chicken adobo. Pounded chicken thigh fillets were marinated in adobo sauce, twice fried, laid on lightly toasted pan de sal halves smeared with liver pâté then topped with fried quail eggs, crispy fried garlic and finely sliced scallions.
Save yourself the trouble of waiting overnight while your adobo sits in the fridge to allow the flavors to blend and deepen. Cooking adobo in the slow cooker delivers the same results at a much shorter time.
