What is Adobo? Sorry, never heard of it.

Adobo is Spanish for sauce or seasoning or marinade used in Latin American- and Southwest U.S.-style cooking. The noun form describes a marinade or seasoning mix. Recipes vary widely by region: Puerto Rican adobo, a rub used principally on meats, differs greatly from the Mexican variety. Meat marinated or seasoned with an adobo is referred to having been adobada or adobado.

Adobo relates to marinated dishes such as chipotles en adobo or Chipotles in adobo sauce is a condiment in which chipotles (smoked jalapeño peppers) are stewed in a sauce with tomatoes, garlic, vinegar, salt, and spices. The spices vary, but generally include several types of peppers (in addition to the Chipotle and most likely those on hand), ground cumin and dried oregano. Some recipes include orange juice and lemon or lime juices. They often include a pinch of brown sugar just to offset any bitter taste.

Adobo is prepared in regions of Latin America and Spain. Pork, spices, and especially red pepper are used. Dishes with the same name but with different cultural roots, are prepared in regions of Asia Pacific such as the Philippines. (See Foreign forms of Adobo).

Adobo is also a style of cooking used in Filipino cuisine...

You can find it in with the spices. It's made by Goya. You can use it on many things and it's not spicy at all. We buy the red capped one.

Thanks for the info, will look for it today at the grocery store!

You are most welcome!
