#149: Adobo chicken liver: recipe#107


This is "the" famous recipe from the Philipines. This recipe was taught to me by a Filipino colleague of mine in my previous school. You can substitute the liver with chicken or beef.

Ingredients:
6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
3 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp white vinegar
3 bay leaves
1 dsp. coarse ground black pepper
200g chicken liver
1/2 cup water
2 tbsp vegetable oil
sugar (optional)

1) In a large bowl, put 1/3 of the chopped garlic, soy sauce, vinegar, bay leaves and ground black pepper. Stir to mix. Put in refrigerator to marinate at least 1 hour. Preferably overnight.

2) Heat oil in wok, add the rest of the chopped garlic and fry till fragrant.

3) Add the liver with the juice in the bowl, stir in 1/2 cup water, and bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat to low and simmer gently 15-20minutes, turning the liver a few times.

4) Remove lid from pan and turn heat to medium high. Cook another 5-10minutes, or until sauce has thickened.
