Are you looking for a perfect dish to serve as a family? Certainly Pinoy marinade could be an ideal choice! Recognized as the national dish of the Philippines, adobo is a true Pinoy favorite consisting of marinated meat stewed in a sauce of vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, bay leaf, and black peppercorns. Chicken, pork or combinations of both are the most used meats. Fish and other shellfish could also be good alternatives to experiment with.

There are several ways to cook the marinade. Not surprisingly, this Filipino dish has gone through a lot of experimentation and mixing, creating a variety of unique recipes. The marinade can be cooked dry or wet. Some people deep-fry their marinades for crispy edges, while others prefer to serve them with their original sauce. Some recipes even include coconut milk for added flavor. Orange juice and lime juice are also incorporated, as well as a dash of brown sugar to create a more distinctive flavor. Flour and cornstarch are thickening agents that you can put in your marinade. But whatever style of cooking you’re going to apply, the tenderness of the meat is a primary concern.

To ensure a succulent flavor, this recipe could perfectly be cooked in a slow cooker. Experience how the meat falls off the bone when you eat it, unbelievably delicious, perfect for a delicious meal before the end of the day. You can also relish the slightly thick sauce that is really spicy. Simply place the beef chunks in the slow cooker and combine all the ingredients in a separate mixing bowl. Then, pour the mixture over the meat and cook on low heat for about 6 to 8 hours. Or better yet, marinate the meat overnight before cooking so that the flavor is easily absorbed into the meat fibers. If you want to reduce the amount of sauce in your marinade, you can reserve the meat and heat the sauce on the stove. Finally, serve your delicious marinade with steamed white rice. What a great meal!

Whether you opt to have it for breakfast, as a main dish for lunch, or as the star of your dinner, the marinade is greatly enjoyed by everyone. Without a doubt, in all parts of the country, adobo is a familiar dish with many faces. It’s a comfort food that captures the Pinoy’s appetite.

This indigenous cuisine has grown enormously over time. From being a favorite dish in every Filipino household, it is now a beloved staple in most restaurants and other food bistros across the country. Be it high class restaurants or just your simple carenderia across the street serves his own delicious adobo recipe. It’s relatively easy to make and won’t cost you much as the ingredients can be bought on hand.
