Receta Bohol Adobo
Do you know how many adobo variationsexist? Sorry but I don’t know either, I always learn new things specially in the Philippine cuisine especially now that I had posted most of the common dishes I grew up with. I thought I exhausted all versions before, I was wrong, like most Filipino dishes each region will have many different varieties since each region will have unique set of local ingredients that they can use and prefer. Bohol Adobo our recipe for today is one of those variations that I learned recently, like adobo it is cooked and stewed in a vinegar and soy sauce but this version of adobo has salted black beans and coloured with annatto seeds, it is also less sweet and it uses less soy sauce since the flavour and saltiness comes from the black beans. It is a nice addition, giving a different flavour profile to the common adobo taste.
I know I will still discover more adobo types but for now this is the latest in my arsenal. How about you do you have and adobo recipe that is worth noting here?
