My version of chicken adobo
Hi guys!!! I was craving chicken adobo, so I made this "Chopped" style - by finding ingredients with what I had already. My son got sick with cold, so we were pretty much stuck indoors for the past two days. I did some cooking and baking. :) I will be posting another recipe soon!!!
Anywho this is what I was working with.
Recipe:
4 large organic chicken drumsticks
- 1 tbsp of olive oil
- 6 pieces of raw garlic chopped or sliced (to your liking- I opted for thick slices because I love big chunks of garlic)
- 1 small onion sliced1 green pepper diced ( added that optional touch)
- ¼ cup rice wine vinegar (used what I had, you can use distilled white)
- 1/3 cup of calamansi soy sauce (toyomansi brand - you can use any type of soy sauce, this is just a soy sauce that is mixed with a lemon/lime flavor, loved that extra kick)
- 1/3 cup of water
- 1 tsp of black pepper
- Sprinkles of fresh rosemary ( I added that touch)
- 3 small bay leaves
Added garlic to oil olive in a medium pot, medium heat, let it simmer for a min or two. Then added the drumsticks, let it brown. Then added water, soy sauce, vinegar, rosemary, bay leaves, pepper, onions, and green pepper. Put a lid on it, and let it simmer for 45 mins. By the time is up, you will have this home cooked aroma of goodness!! Oh my goodness, my mouth is watering lol.
Easy recipe guys, and you can always add your touch based upon your liking. Sometimes I like to add red potato to make it more hearty, or use another protein instead of chicken. I will be back for more!
XOXO - Mel.
