Adobong Tarlac

Adobong Tarlac is type of adobo popular in Tarlac, cooked with the usual ingredients like your choice of meat, soy sauce, vinegar, tons of garlic plus pineapple juice and pineapples.

Nearly 2 years ago I posted an article about the many varieties of Adobo, I thought I would not discover any other adobo dish anymore but I was wrong in fact there are a lot more to discover and our post today is one of them. Adobong Tarlac is a type of adobo popular in Tarlac, cooked with the usual ingredients plus pineapple juice and pineapples. I never had cooked adobo this way until now, and I was surprised, that small ingredient addition gives this dish a really nice taste, making it more pleasant.

I take pride in my adobo and I guess that is true as well for most Filipinos as everyone created their own ways of making this dish even better and more accustomed to their taste buds, I guess after knowing this version I will add this technique to my secret ingredients so I can improve more on what is already great for me. How about you do you have a special adobo recipe that you can share?
