Adobo Pork Chop



Ingredients:

8 pork chops -- 1/2 thick
2 cloves garlic, smashed and 1 chopped
1 T onion, Chopped
1 juice of one lemon
1/4 c soy sauce

How to Cook:
  • Adobo can be made with pork or chicken or a mixture of the two.
  • Most home cooks use pork butt cut into bite-sized chunks and stewed. I like to use pork chops because they are more tender and cook quickly. 
  • He leaves out the traditional bay leaf and peppercorn and substitutes lemon juice for vinegar.
  • Pour just enough cooking oil into a large skillet to coat the bottom.
  • Heat the oil and sear the pork chops, approximately 3 minutes per side.
  • Add garlic and brown lightly. Add onions, lemon juice, garlic and soy sauce, turn heat down and cover. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the sauce as much as you like. Nick likes his adobo dry; others like it with plenty of sauce to go with their rice.
