Adobong Baboy sa Gata (Pork Adobo in Coconut Milk)

Adobong baboy sa gata or pork adobo in coconut milk is a version of Filipino pork wherein coconut milk or cream is added towards the end of the cooking process. The additional ingredient makes the regular adobong baboy richer and more interesting.

It is simple to cook this dish. The first thing that I did was to marinate the pork in vinegar, soy sauce, and crushed garlic for 3 hours. However, doing this overnight is better because the meat can totally absorb the flavor from the marinade.

Next is separate the pork from the remaining marinade. I then browned the pork in a pot and added the remaining marinade back, along with water, peppercorn and bay leaves. The pork was cooked until tender and the coconut cream was added afterwards. The entire process sounds simple. Well, it is because it is easy and straightforward.

This dish is best eaten with warm rice. You can also add chili peppers of hot sauce to make it spicy.
