Pork Adobo has got to be the most popular dish in PI.  My sister, Cynthia, makes the yummiest adobo if you’re gonna ask me (I’m not that biased you know!).  Anyways, I got the pork belly in the Asian market and I know they’re just perfect for adobo.  I got the recipe from the food network.  I fried the pork belly first because that’s how I want my adobo done.  I pan fried, braised, fried it again!  It needs patience but I really think it’s worth it.  There’s something about the super tender but crispy pork belly adobo, comfort food:)

Here’s the recipe! If you check food network it’s “Filipino chicken adobo” and instead of chicken I used pork belly.

• 4-5 lbs.  pork belly
• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 1/2 cup soy sauce
• 4 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 tsp. black peppercorns
• 3 bay leaves

Directions

I got this recipe from my new food network book, and this was really easy to make, just perfect for busy night at home. My husband likes Indian food and I don’t.  The 2 dishes that I only really eat whenever we go out and eat at an Indian place are chicken tandoori and chicken tika masala.  So when I got the book I really wanted to try this for my Indian food loving hubby and we really liked the result.  We’ll definitely make this again!
