Pork Adobo
Matt SinclairIngredients:
Serves: 4-6
- 1 kg pork belly, cut into 4cm pieces
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup soy sauce
- 6 cloves garlic, grated
- 2 tsp black peppercorns
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 red onion, cut into wedges or chunks
- 3 bay leaves
- 1 Tbsp brown sugar
- Salt
Method:
- Add the pork belly to a non-reactive bowl and coat evenly with vinegar, soy sauce, garlic and peppercorns. Leave to marinade for 30 minutes.
- Heat 1 Tbsp of oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Drain the pork, keeping the marinade aside. Cook the pork in batches for 3-4 minutes, until lightly golden. Use a slotted spoon to remove to a plate.
- Return the pan to a medium heat and add the remaining oil if required (may be plenty remaining from the pork). Fry off the onions, stirring often for about 5 minutes. Return the pork to the pan along with the reserved marinade, 1 cup of water and the bay leaves. Season with salt and bring to a light simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 40 minutes – 1 hour. Add the sugar and adjust seasoning to taste with extra vinegar, salt or sugar if required.
- Cook for a further 15 minutes or until pork is tender and sauce has thickened. Serve with steamed rice and garnish with the chopped spring onion.
