Filipino Beef Adobo With Coconut Milk Recipes

COCONUT MILK CHICKEN ADOBO

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat the coconut oil over medium-high until shimmering. Add the garlic, whole peppercorns, freshly ground pepper and red-pepper flakes, drop the temperature to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is toasted and softened and mixture is fragrant, about 5 minutes.
• Add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook over medium-high, undisturbed, until fat starts to render, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in the coconut milk, coconut vinegar, soy sauce, bay leaves and 1 cup water, and let the mixture come to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the chicken feels loosened and just about falling off the bone, stirring halfway through, about 1 hour.
• Increase the temperature to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce is thickened to a velvety gravy, about 15 minutes. Serve chicken and sauce over rice.

FILIPINO CLAM ADOBO

• Heat oil in frying pan.
• Remove clams from broth.
• Fry clams in oil until browned.
• Place clams back into broth and simmer for 10 minutes. Add salt or patis to taste.
• Serve hot with sticky rice.

FILIPINO BEEF ADOBO WITH COCONUT MILK

Steps:

• In a large pot combine the first 8 ingredients: beef, vinegar, garlic, soy sauce, bay leaves, peppercorns, ground pepper and sugar.
• Let stand for 2 hours (traditional method is room temperature, I put in in the refrigerator).
• Bring mixture to a boil then simmer about an hour or until the meat is tender.
• Heat oil in a large skillet. Use a slotted spoon to spoon out garlic from beef mixture. Add garlic to skillet and cook until brown. Use slotted spoon to add the beef to the skillet with garlic and continue to cook, stirring, until it is browned on all sides.
