Today, my mom’s friend Maggie showed me how to make adobo. She is this tiny Filipino woman who is very vivacious and loves to talk.

Below is Maggie’s recipe for Pork Adobo.
•    Garlic
•    Black whole peppercorn
•    Onion, ½ chopped
•    4-6 Bay leaves
•    Pork (we used pork ribs – cut in half)
•    Soy Sauce

Peel and smash the garlic. Place the pepper corns, garlic, chopped onion, and bay leaves at the bottom of the pan you are using to cook the adobo in. Soak/Rinse the pork in warm water for several minutes. Rinse each piece as you place it in the cooking pan. Mix the water and soy sauce to your personal flavor letter. Pour over the contents of the pan. Cover pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, so contents is simmering. Cook until meat is very tender and liquid is reduced.

Maggie said that it can be served with rice, baked or mashed potatoes.

Enjoy. ☺
