Since we”ve been going overboard with our creative food projects, we thought that we”d use Sundays to give all of us a breather and mellow down a bit.
To start things off, we”ll have the Philippines” record-holder for most overused home-cooked meal, Pork Adobo.
Like picking your online casino gambling nose, there”s an infinite number of ways to cook and prepare adobo. In our case, what”s special in our version is that there”s a caramelization process before cooking that brings out a sweet, smoky flavor while also taking a few minutes to simmer until it reaches a beautiful, rich and syrup-like consistency.
