Chicken Adobo with Coconut Milk (Adobo sa Gata) image

In the Philippines, adobo is both a beloved cooking technique and a tangy marinated and braised meat dish. It'sakin to the French coq au vin, but with a flavor all its own. You can use different types of meat or fish, but chicken is a favorite. Serve with steamed or fried rice.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 ½ cups spiced cane vinegar
1 ½ cups soy sauce
¾ cup brewed coffee
½ cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons coconut oil
8 chicken leg quarters
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped garlic
⅓ cup minced shallots
¼ cup minced garlic
3 tablespoons whole black peppercorns
6 bay leaves
cheesecloth and kitchen string
½ pound fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and caps thinly sliced
½ pound oyster mushrooms, sliced
1 ½ cups coconut cream
2 tablespoons ground turmeric
2 green onions, chopped

Steps:

  • Whisk together vinegar, soy sauce, coffee, and brown sugar in a bowl until sugar is dissolved.
  • Heat coconut oil in an 8-quart Dutch oven over high heat. Working in batches, add chicken, skin sides down first, and cook until golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate.
  • Drain all but 2 tablespoons drippings from Dutch oven and return to heat. Add chopped garlic and fry until light brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Remove to a small bowl, leaving drippings in the pot. Add shallots and minced garlic; cook, stirring constantly, until shallots are translucent and garlic has browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Put peppercorns and bay leaves in a square of cheesecloth tied with kitchen string. Add browned chicken quarters, vinegar mixture, and spice bundle to Dutch oven. Bring to a boil; boil for 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes. Add shiitake and oyster mushrooms, coconut cream, and turmeric. Cover and simmer until chicken is tender, 15 to 20 minutes more.
  • Cut leg quarters in half at joint or pull meat from bones and shred. Remove spice bundle and skim fat from sauce. Return chicken to the sauce. Sprinkle with green onions and the fried garlic.

13 1/2 oz coconut milk
1/4 c soy sauce
6 cloves garlic, smashed

CHICKEN ADOBO IN COCONUT MILK (ADOBONG MANOK SA GATA)

The best Filipino dishes are the ones that do not have a written recipe other than the knowledge passed on from generation to another. This is one is a great example and it is one of my all time favourite comfort food. Back in the Philippines, when I was still in university, I would always ask my Mom to make this for me every time I come home and visit during the holiday break. This recipe brings back a lot of happy memories and has been a great source of comfort whenever I feel homesick. I have adapted this recipe, again due to the lack of original ingredients. It calls for free-range chicken which has a lot more flavour to it and it can also stand the long cooking time required for this recipe. Use the pepper of your choice. (We used labuyo, or bird's eye chili originally, but I think jalapeno, serano or habanero are good candidates for substitute).

Categories     Whole Chicken

Time 3h

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 lbs free-range chicken, cut in 8 portions
2 stalks lemongrass, pounded
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons julienned gingerroot
1 medium red onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup white vinegar
salt & freshly ground black pepper
800 ml of thick coconut milk (unfortunately light coconut milk doesn't work well with this recipe. You can add more coconut milk i)
1 chili (your choice)
1 lb papaya, peeled, seeds removed, properly cleaned and sliced to bite-sized pieces (proper cleaning of unripe papaya requires lightly squeezing the slices in salt to remove the bittern)

Steps:

  • In a large pot, saute ginger, garlic, and lemon grass in oil.
  • Add the chicken pieces, season with salt, vinegar and a generous sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. Cover and cook for 15 minutes or until the vinegar is completely absorbed by the chicken pieces.
  • Add 400 ml of coconut milk. Stir constantly in the first 10 minutes to avoid curdling of the coconut milk. Then you can cover it and let it simmer for 30 minutes or until the coconut milk is half absorbed. Stir occasionally though to avoid burning it.
  • Add the slices of green papaya and the chili.
  • When the papaya is half done, add the remaining 400 ml of coconut milk, again stir in the first 10 minutes to avoid curdling. Simmer for another 20-30 minutes or until all the liquid is almost absorbed and the chicken pieces are falling off the bones.
  • Serve with lots of steamed rice.

CHICKEN ADOBO IN COCONUT MILK

This is another recipe from "The Philippine Cookbook". I made this recently for my husbands Filipino birthday dinner. I used cubed boneless skinless chicken breasts. I just cooked it in the pot until the sauce was reduced. I didn't bother with the broiler. I also used white vinegar as I don't care for apple cider vinegar. It was great! I might try it in the crockpot next time.
