Homemade Dry Adobo Seasoning

Here is yet another base for Puerto Rican cooking.

 

Adobo usually goes hand in hand with Basic Sofrito. It gets sprinkled into EVERYTHING while cooking, meats, beans, rice, soup, etc. Try about a ½ tsp. per pound on chicken breast, ribs and steaks. You can make a great tasting, very simple marinade by mixing 1 tbsp. Adobo with a 1/2 cup of orange juice and a 1/4 cup of fresh squeezed lime juice. Try this marinade on pork chops and enjoy an evening in the Islands.

 

You can also purchase this already prepared from the latino section of your market but I prefer to know exactly what is going into my food. When you make it yourself you have a little more control.

 

Feel free to adjust this recipe and make it your own!
