My sister who is based in San Francisco shares this adobo recipe with a twist of Jalapeno chiles. I love it.
1 cup organic apple cider vinegar (preferably aged in wood)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
3 small bay leaves
1 or 2 large jalapeno chiles, left whole
1 side of baby back ribs (about 2 pounds), cut up into individual or 2-rib portions
2 teaspoons rock salt
6 garlic cloves, peeled
2 teaspoons Tellicherry peppercorns
Steamed rice, for serving
I tried out this simple eggplant omelet recipe from Kristine Keefer, public relations coordinator for the French Laundry in Yountville, California.
Kristine Keefer, public relations coordinator for the French Laundry in Yountville, left her native Philippines after college to attend the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. This omelet can be enjoyed with the accompanying recipes for mango salad and garlic fried rice for a complete meal for breakfast, lunch or dinner. I am pretty sure overseas Filipinos will love these recipes.
Ingredients
2 Japanese eggplant (the narrower the better, as they will cook faster)
Vegetable oil or extra virgin olive oil, as needed
1 medium onion, cut in small dice
10 ounces ground pork
1 large plum tomato, cut in small dice
1 tablespoon fish sauce (Keefer prefers the Thai brand Tiparos)
4 medium eggs
Salt and pepper, to taste
This is an easy recipe and a special favorite. It reminds me of kaldereta somehow without the pickle relish. My sister, Lorna captured this recipe from one of those Philippine TV cooking shows in the late 1970’s.
1 kilo pork (pigue or lomo), cut into serving pieces
1 onion, sliced
3 cloves garlic, crushed
2 bell peppers, red and green, sliced
2 medium potatoes, quartered
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 cup pickle relish
1 can liver spread
1 can tomato sauce
1. Mix all the ingredients, according to the sequence indicated above, in a heavy saucepan or Dutch Oven — except for the tomato sauce.
2. Simmer and cook over moderate heat until the pork is done.
3. Add the tomato sauce. Simmer for a few more minutes.
4. Best served hot!
American wrestler and model Travis Kraft teaches us how to cook Adobo. In Filipino. Oh my, his accent is just delightful.
Oh wow. How hilarious. Adobong manak. Funny naman. I think Travis did this video in a deliberate American accent just to be funny.
Travis adoptive mother is a Filipina from Bataan. It was she who encouraged Travis to come and visit the Philippines. In 2003, he traveled to Thailand, Korea, Japan and the Philippines. It was his first visit to the country but he found the Philippines the best country “because people are super friendly and everyone is cute.” That explains why he cooks adobo.
Pork barbecue is a fast selling food item. It’s easy to cook and convenient for the hungry customer. The only thing I dislike about grilling the pork barbecue is the smoke. In our old neighborhood, I told the maid to grill just outside the gate. Now some passerbys often think we are selling barbecue. Hehe, maybe I will sell them one of these days. Anyway, I prefer my barbecue to be a bit sweet. Here’s my recipe for Pork Barbecue Marinade:

It is not often that I am in Cebu. The last time I was there was in 2005. Two months ago, my sister and I booked at the Marriot Hotel where we usually stay whenever we have a business transaction. Naturally when I am in Cebu, I choose the dishes native to the place. For breakfast, it was the Cebu longaniza (Philippine sausage). The longaniza from cebu is a combination of sweetish and spicy flavors. Oh how I miss the tasty longaniza. I don’t have to be in Cebu to miss one of my breakfast fare. As soon as I reached Manila, I searched for the recipe. Though it is skinless version, the taste is similar to that of the Cebu longaniza.
Here is the recipe of the Skinless Pork Longaniza:
We had a lot of leftovers of Lechon (Roasted Pig). What did we do with the leftovers? Well, we cut them up to small pieces and placed them in freezer bags for storage. The following day, I cooked Lechon Paksiw which is just as delicious.
To cook Paksiw, follow this recipe:
