Filipino Adobo [0000042]

Ingredients:

2 lbs chicken thighs or pork belly, cut into serving pieces
1 onion, peeled and sliced thinly
1 head garlic, peeled and minced
1 cup gluten-free soy sauce
1/2 cup gluten-free cane vinegar
1 teaspoon whole peppercorns
3 bay leaves
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 cup water
Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Steamed rice (for serving)

Steps:

In a bowl, combine chicken or pork, sliced onions, minced garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, peppercorns, and bay leaves. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
In a wide pan, heat cooking oil over medium heat.
Add the marinated meat mixture (including the marinade) and water. Bring to a boil.
Lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 30 to 40 minutes or until meat is fork-tender and sauce is reduced.
Occasionally skim off any scum that floats to the surface.
Once the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened, adjust the seasoning with salt or soy sauce to taste.
Garnish with chopped green onions.
Serve hot over steamed rice.
