• Uncover stockpot, add vinegar, and cook without stirring until vinegar dissipates and liquid thickens, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in brown sugar and basil, cover stock pot, and cook until pork is tender and cooking liquid has thickened to sauce consistency, 10 to 15 minutes.

DELICIOUS ADOBO PORK STEW

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven heat oil and butter over medium heat.
• Season the pork with salt and pepper then add to oil and brown on all sides; transfer to a bowl (since there is quite a lot of pork you will have to do this in 2-3 batches).
• Add in frozen pearl onions (or onion slices if using) garlic, carrots, celery, bay leaf, cloves, cinnamon stick and dried red pepper flakes or cayenne (if using) saute for about 5-6 minutes.
• Stir in broth or water, vinegar and soy sauce; bring to a boil and stir with a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits in the bottom of the pan.
• Return the browned pork to the pot along with any juices from the bowl; mix to combine and season with salt and black pepper.
• Set oven to 325 degrees.
• Cover the pot and bake for about 2 hours.
• Check after 1 hour of cooking time and add in more broth or water if needed and discard the cinnamon stick, season with more salt and pepper if desired.
• The last 15 minutes of cooking time mix cornstarch with water until smooth add into the simmering stew and cook until thickened (the stew will not be very thick).

PORK STEAKS ADOBO

Steps:

• Combine the steaks with the Adobo in a shallow nonreactive roasting pan and let marinate at room temperature 2 to 4 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
• Preheat the grill or broiler. Lift the meat from the marinade, shaking off the excess, and season all over with salt and pepper. Cook over moderate heat, or 4 inches from the broiler unit, turning frequently and brushing several times with the marinade during the last few minutes, until slightly charred, about 10 minutes.
• Toast the chiles directly over a medium gas flame or in a cast-iron skillet until soft and brown, turning frequently to avoid scorching. Transfer the toasted chiles to a saucepan and add the vinegar and water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 10 minutes to soften.
• Transfer the chiles and liquid to a blender or food processor. Puree until a smooth paste is formed, adding a tablespoon or two of water if necessary to thin. Set aside.
• Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute the onions until golden brown, 8 to l minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook briefly just to release the aroma. Then stir in the cumin and cook another minute. Add the chicken stock and reserved chile paste. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the brown sugar, orange and lemon juices, tomato paste, salt and pepper to form a paste. Add to the simmering stock mixture and continue cooking another 15 minutes. Adobe can be stored in the refrigerator 1 week or frozen indefinitely.
