Ingredients
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 kg pork butt (cut into large chunks)
- 1/4 cup Filipino soy sauce
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 1 carrot (chopped)
- 1 tick celery (chopped)
- 4 garlic cloves (chopped)
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tsp whole black peppercorns
- 1/2 cup Filipino vinegar
- 1 tsp salt
Garnishes
- 1/2 onion (thinly sliced)
- 3 tbsp white wine vinegar
Instructions
- In a large casserole pan (with a lid), heat the oil over a medium/high heat until hot.
- Add the pork in small batches and fry until browned. Repeat with all the pork then set aside in a bowl.
- To the pan, add the onion, celery, carrot, garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns and fry for 2-3 minutes to soften.
- Return the pork and juices to the pan along with the soy sauce, vinegar and salt. Bring to a boil and then add around 400ml water. Bring this to a boil then reduce the heat too low. Pop on the lid and simmer gently for 1 1/2 - 2 hours until the pork is tender - stirring occasionally.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove as much pork as you can to a waiting bowl and then using a stick blender, blend the vegetables into the liquid to make a sauce. Return the pork, and you're done.
- While the Adobo cooks, mix the onion and vinegar together to make the garnish. Refrigerate until needed.
- Serve with boiled rice. Scatter over the pickled onions and sprinkle a little fresh coriander if you have any just before serving.
