LOVE ;)

One summer, I was in Boston and I've met a really lovely family: Adrienne, Andrew and Sammy. I've learnt a lot with them. Adrienne loves cooking and I love it too, so imagine... fun ;)

She gave me some recipes, she used the slow-cooker... I want to share a recipe she gave me: Chicken Adobo. Try it! so tasty!

"Total Time: 15 mins, plus 4 hrs cooking time | Makes: 4 to 6 servings

The ingredients that go into a Filipino adobo, and their proportions, depend on where you’re from or how your mother or grandmother made it—it’s a source of heated debate—but at the dish’s core, it’s really meat or seafood that’s braised in a vinegary sauce. This easy, mild version cooks onions, chicken, soy sauce, and vinegar in a slow cooker, and takes advantage of bone-in chicken thighs’ extra flavor from the bones. The onions absorb the savory sauce, and all that’s needed to complete the meal is a pile of steamed rice to soak everything up.

INGREDIENTS

• 4 medium yellow onions, halved and thinly sliced
• 4 medium garlic cloves, smashed and peeled
• 1 (5-inch) piece fresh ginger, cut into 1-inch pieces
• 1 bay leaf
• 3 pounds bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
• 3/4 cup soy sauce
• 1/4 cup rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Steamed rice, for serving.

1. Place the onions, garlic, ginger, and bay leaf in an even layer in the slow cooker.
2. Remove and discard the skin from the chicken. Arrange the chicken in an even layer on top of the onion mixture.
3. Whisk the soy sauce, vinegar, sugar, and pepper together in a medium bowl and pour it over the chicken.
4. Cover and cook until the chicken is cooked through and falling off the bone, about 4 to 5 hours on high or low. Remove and discard the ginger pieces and bay leaf. Serve with steamed rice.

This post goes with all my love to Adrienne, Andrew and Samicito ;);)

ENJOY YOUR MEAL!
