I can't wait to try Mikey's Pork Adobo, but while the thinking of how
to write it down is undrway, here is one I have made twice and it is
really good and different. More, Chinesey-stir fryish. I added
pineapple chucks last time and that was good with the cabbage too.

PORK EN ADOBO WITH CABBAGE

1 c finely chopped cabbage
1 tsp. salt
Boiling water
1/2 tsp coarse-ground pepper
1 lb lean sliced country pork ribs
2 tsp. sugar
chicken broth
2 tsp. soy sauce
1 clove garlic minced
1/4 c cider vinegar
1 c cooked rice

In wok, cover cabbage with boiling water. Boil over medium heat until
cabbage is tender but still crisp, about 10 minutes. Drain in
colander and set aside. Place pork, garlic, vinegar, salt and pepper
in non-metal bowl and let stand about 10 minutes. Place in work with
enough boiling broth to cover meat. Cover and simmer until liquid
evaporates. Stir-fry mean until lightly browned. Add cabbage and
sprinkle with sugar. Stir-fry until heated. Season lightly with soy.
Serve over rice.

Crackling Bread

6 Tbs (90 ml) bacon grease or butter, melted
1 cup (250 ml) all-purpose flour
4 tsp (40 ml) baking powder
1 tsp (5 ml) salt
1 cup (250 ml) yellow or white cornmeal
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 cup (250 ml) milk
1 cup (250 ml) chopped crackling or fried pork skins

Place 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of the bacon grease in a heavy, 8- or 9-
inch (20 - 23 cm) cast iron skillet and place the skillet in a
preheated 425F (220C) oven until the grease sizzles. Tilt the pan
thoroughly coat the bottom and sides of the skillet before adding the
batter. Meanwhile, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt into a
mixing bowl. Stir in the cornmeal. Make a well in the center of the
flour mixture and add the beaten egg, milk, and remaining bacon
grease. Beat vigorously for 1 minute, fold in the crackling, and pour
into the hot skillet. Bake at 425F (220C) for 20 to 25 minutes, until
golden brown. Cut into squares or wedges. Serves 6 to 8.

Baby Back Ribs Southern Style

Rub for the Ribs to season them
1 Tbsp Lawry’s Seasoning Salt or Ball's Seasoning Salt
1/4 Tsp Cumin
1 Tbsp Paprika
1/4 Cup Brown sugar
1 Tbsp Black Pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard.
1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 Bottle Sweet Baby Ray's Original BBQ Sauce
1 Bottle Pine apple or Apple juice

1. Combine all the spices and set aside for later.

2. 2-3 Racks of Baby Back Ribs.
Take each of the rib slabs and with a knife lift up the membrane on
the bone side of the slabs. Then with a paper towel grasp the
membrane and pull of the slab of ribs starting at the smaller end. It
should come off in one sheet of membrane.

3. Rub the combined spices well onto and into the slabs of
ribs and wrap them in Saran wrap or foil and place in the
refrigerator overnight. Can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.

4. About an hour before you are ready to cook the ribs go
ahead and start a small fire in your grill. Make it just big enough
to quickly smoke the slabs of ribs.

5. While the grill is heating up begin preparing the ribs for
the grill. When the grill is hot place the ribs on the grill, so they
are not directly over the fire, just long enough to get a good smoke
coating on them 10 to 20 minutes. Just before you are ready to take
them off the grill place them over the direct heat for just a few
minutes to sear them to get a little brown color and to enhance the
smoke taste. Remember you are not trying to cook them on the grill. A
good hot fire will sear and brown them quickly.
When this is done remove the ribs from the grill and take into the
kitchen.

6. Put a very thin light coat of your barbeque sauce on the
front and back of each rack of ribs.

7. Put the ribs in a pan on a baking rack pour about a cup or
two of apple juice or pineapple juice in the bottom of the pan and
cover the whole pan with foil sealing to the edges of the pan.

8. Place the pan(s) of ribs in the oven set at 250 degrees and
cook for 3 to 5 hours (depending on how many rack of ribs you have)
until the meat is finger tender and almost falling off the bones.

9. About 30 minutes or so before the ribs are done remove the
foil from the pan and mop on a generous coating of your BBQ sauce and
put them back in the over to let the slow heat glaze the sauce.

10. Remove from the oven and serve while hot.

Pork Adobo ?

Pork Adobo

1-1/2 lb. pork shoulder or butt, cut into 1-1/2" cubes.
1/3 cup of rice (or sugar cane) vinegar.
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 tsp. salt
3 (or more!) cloves of garlic, minced
2 or 3 bay leaves
1/2 cup water
1/4 to 1/3 tsp. pepper (black, white, whatever!)
2 to 3 Tbsp. cooking oil

Combine everything but the OIL in a stainless steel or enameled pot
and let it stand for at least half an hour at room temperature or in the
"fridge"... Then simmer, covered for one hour (or until the meat is tender), then
drain and reserve the sauce.
Heat cooking oil in skillet and brown the meat on all sides. Place in
a serving dish. Pour off all the remaining cooking oil and add the reserved
sauce and cook for a few minutes... (Be sure to scrape up all the browned
bits that stuck to the pan, as it's one of the "best parts" there!)...
Pour the sauce over the meat and serve on white or brown rice
(previously cooked).
Chicken or chicken and pork are often used together... Serves 4 to 6
people (I can just 2 meals out of it---I'm a BIG eater !)... Ha! Ha!
Quick, simple, and only takes an hour of cooking time.
Classic basic dish, and very Fillipino ! ! !
Hope you'll try it ? ? ?
