Yes, this is still the Adams Eco Farm page. No, we haven't suddenly become adobo sauce endorsers. ๐Ÿ˜…

Truth be told, we rarely use adobo mixes.

Wen's adobo was his own. He had this never-ending deglazing technique that built layer upon layer of flavor. It was unmistakably his.

So why is there a complete set of the ๐——๐—ฎ๐˜๐˜‚ ๐—ฃ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ถ ๐˜… ๐—ฆ๐—•๐Ÿญ๐Ÿต ๐—”๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—ผ ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€ in our kitchen?

Because Wen and I have been ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—”'๐—ง๐—œ๐—ก ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿด, back in the ๐—ง๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฎ๐—น๐˜‚๐—ต๐—ฎ days. Long before the world discovered them, we were already cheering these boys on. ๐Ÿ’™

Laya convinced me to buy the complete collection. To be fair... it didn't take much convincing. ๐Ÿคฃ

I almost missed Josh and Justin and had to order them from two different online sellers because fellow A'TIN are unbelievably fast!

Then Laya picked up Ken's pouch, looked at me with her signature deadpan face, and said,

"Nay... lutuin na natin si Ken."

Ken was Wen's bias.

We both burst out laughing because we knew that's exactly the kind of joke her Tatay would've made.

So today, we're cooking Justin's Pininyahang Adobo.

Will it replace Wen's adobo or Mama Syl's Pininyahang Adobo?
Of course not.

But this isn't about replacing family recipes.

It's our small way of supporting five young men whose music has been part of our family's story for eight years.

Sometimes support comes through concert tickets. Sometimes through albums. Sometimes through streaming.

And sometimes.....it comes in five little pouches of adobo. ๐Ÿ’™

I was expecting to miss the sweetness of Japanese cucumbers. Instead, our local variety offered a gentle bittersweet finish that our guests absolutely loved.

One thing I discovered, though... it takes ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐Ÿด๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—บ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐Ÿญ.๐Ÿฑ ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€.

Some things simply can't be rushed or guaranteed.

Maybe that's what makes cooking with seasonal harvests so rewarding. You enjoy them while they're here, then patiently wait for the next harvest.

A humble Levantine dish of fried eggplants folded into a slow-simmered tomato, garlic, and capsicum sauce, served with warm homemade flatbreads fresh from the cast iron.

This version wandered a little too close to Italy for my liking. ๐Ÿ˜„ It was delicious, but next time I'm bringing it home to Lebanon, where ๐—ฏ๐—ฎ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜ (Lebanese 7-spice) gets to lead the conversation. That's the joy of cooking. Every meal teaches you something.

The flatbreads, however, were an unexpected triumph. Even after accidentally doubling the salt ๐Ÿ˜‚, they puffed beautifully and turned out soft, chewy, and perfect for scooping up every last spoonful.

As for the m'nazaleh... it didn't stand a chance.

A bunch of gloriously rowdy, thoroughly delightful guests descended on the pan, tore off pieces of warm bread, laughed far too loudly, and scraped every last bit of sauce clean.

It's been a while since we had this quintessential Filipino comfort soup.

I was this close to just sautรฉing some minced pork and calling it a day. Then I thought, What the heck? If I'm doing this, I'm going all out.

So I made my own pork meatballs. Soft as little clouds. Used our homemade chicken stock. Added shiitake mushrooms for that deep umami. Tossed in misua, carrots, garlic, onions... and, of course, patola.

The soup was everything I wanted it to be. Rich, comforting, and the kind that quietly asks for a second bowl.

My only mistake?

At first glance, it is a simple dish.
Beef, onions, olive oil, carrot, celery, black pepper, tomato paste, and time.

Lots of time.

This pasta sauce begins with more than ๐˜๐˜„๐—ผ ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ด๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—บ๐˜€ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ slowly cooked with beef chunks until they surrender their sweetness and become a rich, savory ragรน. No cream. No stock. No shortcuts.

The version we made this weekend follows Chef Wen's method: onions added in stages, lightly salted, enriched with olive oil, then cooked, rested, cooked again, rested overnight, and cooked once more.

Guests loved it.

I loved it too.

And somewhere between the onions, the beef, and the long wait, I found myself remembering the man who taught me that some dishes cannot be rushed.

Served with ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฑ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ถ ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ, finished with ๐—˜๐—ฉ๐—ข๐—ข and ๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ผ ๐—ฅ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ผ.
