Spicy Seasoning

Adobo can be used for fish, meat, or poultry. This version, a common seasoning in Puerto Rico, is enough to flavor 1½ pounds of raw fish, poultry, or meat. Because adobos are commonly thought to preserve food, some of us neglect to chill them. Bacteria can thrive in all fish, meat, and poultry, so be sure to refrigerate adobos.
