Pork Adobo sa Gata

Pork Adobo in Coconut Milk

Here's one Filipino dish I experimented on. Well, I thought it's something new, but it's not, because just yesterday, I saw this particular viand in a menu from a local restaurant. This dish is easy to prepare. It's just basic pork adobo with coconut milk or coconut creme.

 

Ingredients:

• 5-6 pcs. pork adobo cut
• 1/2 cup coconut milk or coconut creme
• 3 bay leaf
• 5 cloves garlic crushed
• 5 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 cup soysauce
• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 green chilli chopped into pieces
• a dash of salt and black pepper

 

How To:

• In a sauce pan mix pork adobo cutlets in water, soy sauce, crushed garlic, bay leaf, salt and pepper.
• Boil pork until tender. Drain, set aside Adobo sauce.
• In a pan, heat olive oil and fry minced garlic until light brown. Set aside.
• In the same frying pan, stir fry drained pork cutlets. Stir for a few minutes and pour about 5-6 tbsp of Adobo sauce. Set aside in a serving bowl.
• Using the very same frying pan, stir fry green chilli for a few seconds.
• Add Coconut Milk and simmer for a minute or 2.
• Add remaining Adobo sauce and simmer again for a minute or 2 or until sauce is thick.
• Pour prepared Adobo sauce with coconut milk in the serving bowl with the pork cutlets.
• Add and garnish fried minced garlic.
