Adobong Tahong Recipe (Mussels Adobo)

Nothing compares to the simplicity and good taste of Adobong Tahong for lunch. Adobong tahong is a delicious Filipino recipe that makes use of mussel meat cooked inadobo style.

I used kiwi mussels for this recipe. The package that I purchased do not include the shells and the meat were already cleaned. The only thing that I did was to remove the hair-like part in the middle. Bear in mind that you can use mussels with shell on. Use the type of mussel that suits you best.

I like this dish because it is quick and easy to prepare, the ingredients are not expensive, and the result is superb. I love the idea of using toasted garlic as it makes the taste of the dish rise to a different level – do not overuse it though.
