carne adovada

Carne Adovada also adobada = Marinated meat.
What that doesn’t tell you is that this pork has been soaking in hot red chile for several days. They sell it at our local grocery store Peppers. I don’t buy it very often because it’s way too spicy for Marielos, and at times even borderline deadly for me. But if you like it very hot, you’ll probably love this.

Adobo sauce is also available separately.

I served this one with broccoli stoemp: think broccoli cheddar soup, mixed into mashed potatoes. Since that is milk-based, it may help to douse the fire somewhat.
