Home-cooked meals are the best! But given the pace of life today, the thought of heading down to the market followed by hours spent in the kitchen preparing these meals often leave us just deciding to order in fast food meals. When you’ve had a long day and an even longer commute—the struggle is real! So it’s a good thing that I found a way to put together a simple recipe for a well-loved and hearty, home-cooked meal: Pork Adobo.
This recipe uses basic ingredients that might already be present in your kitchen or can easily be found in the supermarket. And while cooking this may feel time-consuming, I guarantee that it will be worth it!
A fun fact about this dish: the word adobo is derived from the Spanish word adobar, which means “marinade” or “pickling sauce”. Also, if you’re like me who enjoys their pork adobo dry, then this recipe is definitely for you!
