At this point every month, we’re scrambling through our own mental map of the world trying to pinpoint our next place of interest. It was Chrystal’s turn this time to pick the culinary destination. Just when we settled on a cooking trip to the Middle East, Goya Foods contacted us about their 75th anniversary celebration. We figured it would be the perfect opportunity to take a detour to Latin America this time around, so we embarked on a trip to the one and only Guatemala.

Chicken Adobo with Coconut Ginger Rice

Poultry & Pork • Tags: adobo, coconut, filipino, ginger, vinegar

Call us recipe renegades if you will. We just cannot follow those things! We try, but it always fails. In a good way. A few weeks ago, we hosted a filipino-themed dinner party with a few friends, and chicken adobo was on the menu. Adobo is something we’ve never made or even tasted, but we knew we had to try it. We poked around the world wide web to get the basics and consulted foodie experts for a couple of tips. We wanted the dish to be authentic, but with our track record of switching the game up, we already knew the final dish would only border the real thing and then veer just a little to the left. With that knowledge in hand, it was ready, set, go time. We may not be too close to the original version, but rules are meant to be broken.
