Filipino Adobo

Adobo is a very popular dish in the Philippines with each island and often times familes having their own take on the dish. Although the word adobo comes from the Spanish this cooking technique ,which involves marinating a meat in vinegar and garlic, browning in oil and simmering in marinade, does come from the indigenous people.  This is my family's version on this Filipino classic.

Ingredients:

• Chicken
• 3 cloves crushed garlic
• 1 whole roughly chopped onion
• 2 tbsp Vinegar
• 2 tbsp Soy Sauce
• 2 Bay leaf
• Whole pepper corn
• 3 diced Tomatoes

Instructions:
1. Heat the oil and saute the garlic, chicken, and onions together for about 3 minutes.
2. Add the other ingredients and let simmer until the sauce becomes thick, about 30 minutes.
3. Serve over steamed rice.
