Instructions
-
Marinate the Meat: In a large bowl, combine the chicken and pork with vinegar, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic, bay leaf, soy sauce, and peppercorns. Ensure the meat is well-coated in the marinade.
-
Boil and Simmer: Transfer the marinated meat mixture to a pot and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes or until the meat is almost tender.
-
Adjust the Consistency: If the mixture appears dry during simmering, add about 1/2 cup of water to prevent it from sticking to the pot and to maintain the desired consistency.
-
Continue Simmering: Cover the pot and continue simmering the meat mixture until it is completely tender and infused with all the flavors, about 40-45 minutes more. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking and flavor distribution.
-
Sauté Garlic: In a separate pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the remaining minced garlic and sauté until golden brown and fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
-
Fry the Meat: Once the garlic is browned, add the marinated meat to the pan. Fry the meat pieces until they are beautifully browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Add Adobo Sauce: Pour the remaining adobo sauce from the pot into the pan with the browned meat. Stir well to coat the meat evenly with the flavorful sauce.
-
Final Simmer: Allow the meat and sauce to simmer together for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the Yummy Chicken Pork Adobo to a serving platter and garnish with some freshly chopped green onions or cilantro for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot with steamed rice and your favorite side dishes.
