Preparation[edit | edit source]
Adobada is traditionally prepared by marinating pork in a mixture of vinegar, oregano, garlic, and various types of chili peppers, such as guajillo and chipotle. The marinated meat is then cooked, often grilled or roasted, to enhance its flavors.

The marinated pork can be cooked in several ways:

- Roasting: The meat is roasted in an oven, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Pan-frying: The meat is cooked in a pan, often with additional spices and vegetables.
Variations[edit | edit source]
Adobada can vary significantly depending on the region and the specific recipe used. Some variations include:
- Adobo de Cerdo: A version that uses pork and is often cooked with additional ingredients like potatoes or carrots.
- Adobo Chicken: A variation using chicken instead of pork, popular in some regions.
