Crockpot Carne Adovada Recipe by John Spottiswood

We had this for dinner tonight and it was fantastic. The complexity of flavors - sweet, salty, spicy, and savory - is really amazing. It's better than 99% of the dishes I've ever been served in a mexican restaurant. I loved the carne adovada I had in Santa Fe, but I honestly don't remember any that matched this. If you try this…

Hearty Pork Stew with Pumpkin

Hearty Pork Stew with Pumpkin by John Spottiswood

This is a great stew for making in a big pot on a cool day in the Spring or Fall. We serve it over rice, but it would also go nicely over pasta or with an artisan style bread.

Pork or Chicken Adobo

Pork or Chicken Adobo by Sherwin Pineda

Adobo is the closest thing Filipinos have to a national dish. Some people like combining chicken and pork in one dish, others prefer using one or the other. Traditionally, adobo is made with vinegar. I prefer using calamansi or lime because vinegar tend to be too strong for my taste.
