Chicken Liver Adobo

There are many ways of cooking adobo - be it pork, chicken or even vegetables. And the recipes varies from region to region and even household to household. 



The most common is pork and/or adobo and this alone has many variations. But one of my favorites is Chicken Liver Adobo especially if the liver is sort of crisp and the adobo sauce is a bit darker than the usual.


But I won't say no to the cholesteroliffic oily adobo version either given its awesome texture and flavors explosion.



Here's a simple Chicken Liver (and Heart) Adobo Recipe

Ingredients

  • 3/4 kilo Chicken Liver (and heart, if you desire)
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce
  • Oil
  • 2 pcs  Bay leaves
  • 1 head garlic, chopped
  • 1 large head garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, sliced
  • Whole black peppercorns

How to cook Chicken Liver Adobo

  1. In a wok or pan, add oil and fry 1/3 of the chopped garlic until crisp. Set aside for this will serve as toppings.
  2. Add more oil and fry (almost deep fry) chicken liver and set aside. Do it per batch depending on the size of your wok/pan. 
  3. Reduce oil and saute minced garlic (the more garlic the better) and
  4. Add the fried chicken liver (and heart), vinegar, soy sauce, pepper corn and bay leaves. Bring to a boil and simmer. You can adjust flavor by adding more vinegar, soy sauce and water. Add a little sugar to balance saltiness.

Valenciana

Ilonggos really love valenciana because most if not all have grown accustomed of having it in almost all occasions like fiesta, brithdays, reunions and all other occasions thus I love calling it as the "occasional dish".   Basically, " go, grow and glow " dish, it has the carbohydrates, protein and vitamins and minerals in just one spoonful. And it can come in its simplest form with just malagkit rice, pork, chorizo and bell peppers to some fancy with additions like raisins, peas, chicken, hardboiled egg (just garnish though), etc.  Here's the recipe for Valenciana Ingredients 3 cups Glutinous Rice ( malagkit ) 2 cups Pork, sliced 1 cup Pork, Beef or Chicken  Liver, sliced 2-3 pieces Chinese sausage, sliced 2-3 large red bell peppers, sliced lengthwise 1 cup Green Peas 3 small boxes Raisins 2 pcs.Onion, chopped 4 cloves garlic, crushed salt and ground pepper to taste  2 pcs. pork/chicken bouillon/broth cube

Native Bibingka

There are two types of bingka I've grown up with. First is the flat and "coconutty" ( with lots of buko strips) bingka made famous by the bingkahans in the plazas of Iloilo City especially in Molo and Jaro plus Plaza Libertad. But the most famous is the one in Mohon, Arevalo which gave birth to the popular bingka sa Mohon. Flat bingka from Mohon And second is the one closer to home, in my hometown which before only appears during Semana Santa but now almost year round. This is what we refer to a puto-bingka as it looks and taste like toasted puto. Here's a sample recipe of this Puto-Bingka

Laswa

Mention laswa  and a merry mix of vegetables would come to mind. This is a perfect "realization" of the Filipino folk song "Bahay Kubo" which narrates an abundance of vegetables beside the traditional Filipino hut. Laswa has no definite list of ingredients nor way or cooking as it is just "stewing" available vegetables, not only from the garden, but what's inside your fridge or you bought from the market. It ranges from the simple all vegetable dish to ones having seafood like shrimps, crabs and more. But in the end it all boils ( pun intended ) down to what you prefer at the same time, what is available. Here's a simple recipe for Laswa
