MY SIMPLE VERSATILE ADOBO SEASONING

Adobo seasoning is one of the most popular seasonings used in Latin cooking because it’s versatile and phenomenal. Once you try it, you too will be sprinkling this on just about anything.

My Peruvian family has used adobo seasoning for as long as I can remember. They used it on beef, lamb, pork, chicken, and as an added spice to many of the Peruvian style dishes.

Even my dad - the English, Irish, Scottish, Frenchman - used it on many of his dishes. It's just second nature in my family.

I like to create my own spice blends. I know what's in them and I can pronounce every ingredient in English and Spanish.

Spice mixes are so easy to make and usually you already have the ingredients on hand. For this concoction you will need granulated garlic, kosher salt, pepper, ground cumin, oregano, and ground turmeric.

Adobo Seasoning is especially great on pork. When using, there is no need to add any salt because salt is already in the mix. It's a win-win.

Adobo Seasoning isn't limited to using on pork.  Use it on chicken, meats, vegetables, or to add flavor to dips and sauces.
