The Spicy Food Lover's Bible: The Ultimate Guide to Buying, Growing, Storing and Using the Key Ingredients That Give Food Spice
Published by Stewart, Tabori & Chang
Adobos can be found throughout the areas where the Spanish had an influence. The definition of an adobo can be confusing, as it can refer to three distinct recipes. Adobo, the national dish of the Philippines, is braised chicken, pork, or fish cooked in coconut milk with garlic, vinegar, and soy sauce. In Mexico, adobo refers to a sauce or seasoning paste made with vinegar, chiles, and herbs, such as chipotle chiles en adobo. Here we are referring to the third type of adobo, the Puerto Rican seasoning composed of dry ingredients, which is often mixed with fruit juice and used as a marinade.
