Adobo

Last evening Karen cooked for us delicious adobo, thus reminding me of the long-forgotten (by me) Filipino national dish. It was really good. Gostoso, mesmo.

I am now trying to remember its recipe. First you cook onion and garlic (chopped or whatever) with soy sauce and vinegar. In this sauce you cook either chicken or pork until the meat is tender. Finish it with a tablespoon-full of paprika for color. This is it. Karen put some coliander to give it a green accent. Peace.

I used to use the adobo mix they sold at the Asian grocery store. This was when I lived in Tucson. But there is no need to use the mix anymore. I can make it any time, any day, with very little effort, and some cooking time. Satisfaction guaranteed.
