Duck Leg Adobo – A Existent Identify Unit Of Measurement Repast

If you’ve worked inwards restaurants before, yous know that every nighttime earlier service the staff sits downward to what’s called the “family meal.” One of the younger cooks is usually charged amongst scraping together something filling and, to a greater extent than importantly, non expensive. It was during 1 of these meals that I kickoff had adobo.

When I worked at the Carnelian Room inwards the belatedly 80’s, much of the kitchen crew was Filipino, too hence chicken too pork adobo was a real mutual dinner. One of the dishwashers made a especially peachy version, too I savage inwards honey amongst the bold, unproblematic flavors. I also retrieve beingness pretty annoyed that the dishwashers at that topographic point were ameliorate cooks than I was at the time, but that’s some other story.

Anyway, I happened to accept some duck legs to a greater extent than or less final week, too all it took was a well-timed e-mail wishing for adobo to inspire this video. I sympathise that most of yous volition non purpose duck for this, but if yous do, travel certain to relieve the fat.

Duck fatty is prized past times chefs, too to a greater extent than heart-healthy than people realize. It tin orbit the axe travel used for only nearly anything you’d usually tike inwards butter or vegetable oil. I roasted some Brussels spouts amongst mine, but it also volition brand only nearly the best homefries you’ve e'er tasted.

Like I said inwards the video, no duck, no problem. If yous tin orbit the axe simmer it inwards a sauce, it volition travel inwards this recipe. Because of the high soy sauce content, travel careful nearly over reducing, but other than that, non much tin orbit the axe become wrong. This is cheap, easy, too real flavorful, which is why it makes for such a peachy “family meal.” Enjoy!
