I have made chicken adobo (with coconut milk) many times with very good results. This last week, I tried the following recipe for pork adobo:

And I was not very pleased with it. I thought it would be a slam dunk, but it just disappointed me.

Does anyone know of a good pork adobo recipe they can point me to?

    Not sure if the exact item you are looking for as I am unfamiliar with chicken adobo.

    However if it has anything to do with adobo sauce then I can’t recommend pork Al pastor enough.

    First result from a google but there are plenty that work. https://heygrillhey.com/smoked-al-pastor/

    It’s tacos instead of a dish but still is amazing and you can crock pot it if need be instead of smoking it on the grill.

    Mind if I ask what chicken adobo recipe you are following so I have a better understanding of what you’re looking for. (Also for a fully selfish reason of trying what you are talking about)

      Here are two versions, both of which I have made with repeat success.

      Chicken Adobo #1
      Chicken Adobo #2

      On the upside, I was able to repurpose the underwhelming pork adobo into “cross-culture” taquitos last night. I shredded some cotija, gently reheated the pork, made some tortillas and then stuffed them with the cheese and pork and quickly pan-fried them, then topped them with a heap of pikliz. That worked well and was pleasing.

        This looks awesome. Sorry I can’t be more help but glad you were able to repurpose the dish.
