This recipe brings a delightful twist to the classic adobo, combining tender chicken and pork with a rich, savory sauce.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of oil.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding ingredients to prevent sticking.
Sauté the chopped onion, diced tomatoes, minced garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns until the onions are translucent.
Stir constantly to avoid burning the garlic.
Add the pork pieces and cook until lightly browned on all sides.
Cut the pork into even pieces for uniform cooking.
Pour in the vinegar and soy sauce, then bring the mixture to a boil.
Do not stir immediately after adding vinegar to allow the acidity to mellow.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 20 minutes.
Check occasionally to ensure the liquid doesn't evaporate completely.
Add the chicken pieces and layer the remaining onion slices on top.
Ensure the chicken is submerged in the sauce for even cooking.
Continue to simmer until the chicken is fully cooked and tender, about 20 minutes.
Adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce or pepper if needed.
Serve the adobo hot with steamed rice and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions for a pop of color.
