    There’s the adobo sa toyo (in soy sauce), adobong puti/sa suka (in vinegar), sweet adobo (with sugar) and that one kind of adobo you may have experienced when you traveled far south of Luzon: adobo sa asin (salt).

    Pork adobo in salt or simply “adobo sa asin” is a popular dish in the Bicol Region.

    This recipe was passed down to me by my lolo (grandfather), and from generation to generation, it has always tasted the same.

  Here are the Ingredients:

• 1/2 kilo pork (preferrably with fat layer), cut into serving pieces
• 2 cups water
• 1 garlic head, crushed
• 1 teaspoon salt

Procedure:

1. Wash the pork in running water
2. In a pan, place the pork, salt and half of your garlic
3. Add water until all meat is submerged
4. Bring to boil until all the liquid has been absorbed or have evaporated, and what’s only remaining is pork that is starting to produce its own oil
5. Add the other half of your crushed garlic and a bit more salt depending on your taste bud’s preference
6. Cook until the garlic turns to brown
7. Remove from heat and serve
