Thanks for linking Dino's puda recipe, i gave it a try!
also with turmeric, scalions, ginger (and some chili powder, salt and LOTS of oil)

made mine too thick, which made folding no longer an option, so I will thin it down a bit more next time.
but it was delicious!

ate it with truffel(oil)-hummus, and roasted eggplant/red onions/red pepper and sun dried tomatoes on top



Awesome! A bit more water does look like a good idea but don't worry about the foldability. You'll only have earned the privilege of making it half-way through before it all falls apart. They're pretty poo poo wraps basically, I'm just glad I live alone so no one was there to see me eating like a hot sauce covered toddler.

I considered the experiment a success because it was delicious but uhh... V:shobon:V

I used shoulder/butt. You can also do a really good adobo with pork belly that you braise, compress and chill, then slice and grill. :gizz:

In that case my future puda's will be cute small rounds/pancakes instead of trying to fold one over.

I tried sweet potato wedges for the first time tonight. They were OK, bit of S&P plus cinnamon and paprika.
It was a bit of an emergency meal, nothing left in the F/F but chicken (bought for pita salad wraps and I'm out of salad plus the weather turned cold), nothing in the pantry vegetable wise except sweet potato and onion.
So I did a honey mustard chicken with sweet potato wedges for some oven action.

Sear some pork shoulder chunks in a real hot rear end pan with plenty of oil. It will spatter, so do it outside if possible or with a good hood vent. Add in some onion and ginger if you have it, then add in roasted whole garlic cloves, some roughly cracked peppercorns, bay leaves, a big glug each of vinegar and soy, some salt, then a can of coconut milk and a few bay leaves. Just let it simmer for like an hour or two until the pork is fork tender.

I like a lot of vinegar in mine, so lately I've been doing 2:1:1 rice vinegar:soy sauce:water

Also I don't bother roasting my garlic cloves. I jsut kinda smash em a bit and toss em in raw and pretty much whole.

Also also, make sure you make a lot of sauce. That's the best part of adobo and I could eat just that over rice or steamed veg.

Adobo is the best, so simple and so delicious.

Any favorites for vinegar or do they not make too much of a difference? I've used rice and apple cider, and I might like acv better for reasons I don't really know.

Are you people making your adobo from scratch or buying it? I can't find it without chipotle peppers inside it, and can't find chipotle peppers by their lonesome. I guess I should hit up a proper market and not a grocery store.

Cane vinegar is traditional I believe, but I've used pretty much all of em.

Wrong adobo. That's Spanish/American style adobo you're talking about. We're eatin Filipino adobo, which at its base is just soy sauce and vinegar.

If you're ever looking for chipotles in the future, look for them canned. They're just smoked jalapeņos, so you won't find them fresh. Sorry if you already knew this - I didn't until I was shopping for them one day myself.

I didn't know this (or that there were different adobo's - thanks casu). I could ONLY find them canned, I suppose that makes sense if they're smoked jalapenos. I would like to blame my not being exposed as much to that stuff here in Canada for my ignorance on the matter.

It's pretty much the same idea, but specifically always with saffron and then layered with chicken and onions in the middle.

I love this confusion because two of the first dishes my girlfriend ever taught me to cook were chicken adobo (Filipino version) and chicken tinga (mexican style with chipotles in Adobo and chorizo). I had the same learning moment, except I respond to confusion with anger and was pissed she expected me to make a whole dish of adobo just to use a table spoon of and one or two peppers.

Oh also only using a tablespoon of the sauce and one or two peppers is for wimps, throw the whole drat can in there imo

I find it gets too smokey, and kills other flavors, but that could have been the brand I've been buying. Safeway started carrying a different brand and I picked one up last week, so I'll give it a whirl soon.

Making the impossible possumable
With Mother's Day around the corner, I was thinking of baking a pecan pie for my mother when she comes home tomorrow evening. She loves pecan pies, but the contemporary one is "thin layer of pecans on top and diabetic horror of corn syrup glop below" and she hates that, preferring way more nuts and way less (read: no) corn syrup. My good-sized food processor is broken and I wasn't feeling up to burning five hours to slap in a crust, let alone without a processor, so I bought pie crusts.

I used Keebler's graham cracker crusts for this. Bought two; one was to identify any serious, pie-destroying fuckups I'd be making because boy howdy, I can still hear :ramsay: in my head even now and undoubtedly some of you will be doing that too by the time you finish reading this.



My draft frankenpie, prior to baking. I used walnuts as well as pecans, because well, why the hell not. In fact, "why the hell not" was pretty much the MO of the making, because since I have two crusts I may as well go upside bonkers with the experimentation. I think the only thing I definitively measured was the half cup of granulated sugar and one large egg. :v:

The rest went something like this:

:pseudo:: poo poo, no brown sugar? Well, gently caress it, have some molasses. I wonder how much...? Well, I'll just squeeze this much in and hope that's enough.
...
:pseudo:: Butter and margarine in those tiny fast food plastic packets? I should still have some but--aw, nuts, it's garlic butter; can't have a good pie with that. Well, I'll just get a packet of butter and margarine, melt those...and toss in a spoonful of "natural" peanut butter in the main bowl. PB is still butter, right? It's even in the name! :v:
...
:pseudo:: Hmm, I'm trying to cut back on my cholesterol. Might sub in liquid egg whites instead of using another egg. How did it go, again? Three tablespoons and two teaspoons per egg replaced? And where are my measuring spoons? Bah, glug some in and hope for the best.
...
:pseudo:: I should use a different flour instead of all-purpose. Ooh, there's some pancake flour mix here! Let's use some! Measurements? I can eyeball it!
...
:pseudo:: Well, poo poo, this stuff's not mixing. It's cold...oh, heat! Let me turn on my stovetop and set up a platform here...

You get the gist. The picture doesn't look quite as benign with that knowledge in mind, doesn't it? :cripes:



During the fifty-minute bake, it puffed up most alarmingly; probably the pancake flour mix. I find it appropriate that the oven lights reminded me of glowing eyes from hell.



Recently out of the oven, give or take some minutes. It eventually depuffed to a more reasonable level, but sweet crispy cricket bats was I surprised at how crackly the top was. Probably the egg whites.

And the taste?

HOLY FLYING gently caress IT TASTES SO DELICIOUS! :woop:

...Though I should dial down on the molasses. It was at the forefront alongside the peanut butter and pecans, especially in the softer, chewier parts. But goddamn I am so pleasantly surprised. I now know what to do for the final copy. :toot:
