Slow Cooker Filipino Pork Adobo
Recipe byYou have the option to brown the meat before slow cooking. I like browning my pork. What I do is coat the bottom of a frying pan with cooking oil and spreading the pork pieces. I just leave them there on high heat until the undersides are lightly browned. I give them quarter turns every few minutes to brown all sides evenly. If you decide to skip this step, the slow cooking time will be longer.
Ingredients
- 500 grams pork belly
- 8 cloves garlic
- ¼ cup cane vinegar
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- ½ cup bone broth (you may use water but the adobo won’t be as flavorful)
- ½ teaspoon lightly pounded black peppercorns
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 sprig oregano stripped
- fried garlic to garnish
Instructions
- Cut the pork into two-inch pieces cubes.
- Optionally, brown the pork in hot oil.
- Place the pork in the slow cooker. Add the rest of the ingredients. Stir.
- Set the slow cooker on LOW and let the pork adobo cook for four hours. If you did not brown the meat, the cooking time would be an hour or so longer.
- Sprinkle the adobo with fried garlic before serving.
- Serve your slow cooker Filipino pork adobo with rice. And fried egg, if you like that combo.
