Slow Cooker Pork Adobo Recipes

SLOW COOKER ADOBO PORK

Steps:

• Trim fat from tenderloin; cut pork into chunks. Place onions then pork in a 4- or 5-quart slow cooker. In a medium bowl, stir together tomato sauce, water, sazon, chipotle peppers, garlic, salt, cumin, coriander, cayenne, and pepper; pour over pork in cooker. Add bay leaf.
• Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 10 to 12 hours or high-heat setting for 5 to 6 hours. After looking at reviews, you may wish to check meat earlier as some have said theirs was done far sooner. See NOTE in description :).
• Remove pork from cooker. Using two forks, shred pork. Reserve half of the pork (about 3 cups) and 2 cups of the sauce; store as directed below. Mix the remaining pork with 1/2 cup of the sauce. Discard any remaining sauce.
• Serve with your choice of taco shells and toppings. We use fresh salsa, pepperjack cheese, sour cream, and jalapenos on soft flour tortillas. Makes 4 servings and reserves.
• To store reserves: Place shredded pork and sauce in separate airtight containers. Seal and chill for up to 3 days. (Or freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in refrigerator overnight before using.).

FILIPINO ADOBO (PORK OR CHICKEN) WITH SLOW COOKER VARIATION

Steps:

• Note: The original recipe just called for vinegar. I use Apple Cider Vinegar - just use what you have. Some reviewers have used rice vinegar and been pleased. Rice vinegar seems to have a touch of sweetness. Do what pleases you - experiment and have fun in the kitchen.
• Stove top instructions.
• Combine all of the ingredients in a large pot. (The women who shared the recipe with me put the spices into the pot freely. Reviewer Felina suggested tying the spices into a cheesecloth to so that you get the flavor but don't bite into the peppercorns while you eat the dish - a stainless tea ball works too. Do whichever please you).
• Allow everything sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
• Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low; simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours (leave lid slightly ajar).
• Remove lid and cook 10 minutes more.
• Serve with rice.

SLOW-COOKER PORK ADOBO

Steps:

• In a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, warm oil. Working in batches, add pork and cook until browned on all sides, about 8 minutes per batch. Transfer browned pork to a slow cooker.
• Pour fat off the skillet and return to medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, 30 to 60 seconds. Add vinegar, soy sauce, bay leaves and peppercorn and cook, scraping up the browned bits in the skillet, until the liquid is thickened, about 2 minutes. Transfer vinegar mixture to the slow cooker, cover, and cook until pork is very tender, 6 to 8 hours on low or 4 to 5 hours on high.
• About 30 minutes before the pork is done, cook rice according to package directions.
• Arrange the riuce in serving bowl. Top with the pork, spoon on some of the cooking liquid, and serve.
