In reply to Shar from Northern Cali :). For the garlic, use all the cloves in the marinade during the vegetable saute. Hope that helps. Thanks for visiting the blog!

Hello,
It seems my question regarding garlic was not addressed. You mention garlic in the marinade as well as to sauté with oil at the start of the cooking process. Are we to remove the 8 pieces of garlic from the marinade? Or use 4 in the marinade and 4 during the veg oil sauté?

I think visayan *iloilo, cebu, silly city, etc…) region recipes are more a rarity than other regions, imho. So I’m wondering if you have a cookbook or chapter on your website with this regions cuisines. I recall hearing her talk about molo soup, batchoy soup, miswa soup, a soup with shrimp, bamboo shoots, coconut milk, saluyot leaves (sorry the name escapes me), black bean, jackfruit and pork. I’m sure I only touched the tip of the iceberg on this regions specialties, but would like to to attempt dishes and desserts too.

In reply to Elizabeth Q.

Thank you for replying. I’ll make note to add 1/2 cup of water to dissolve the Annette powder on my next one. I started it this morning in my IPot usimg the original instructions of putting powder directly to oil. It actually didn’t clump up, then I poured the 2 cups broth to keep from clumping. I’ll let you know how it turns out with my tiny tweaks.

I have another question:
Recipe says to add minced garlic (I use fresh garlic here) in the marinade. However it also says to sauté garlic in the vegetable oil when cookimg begins in the instant pot. Do you mean the garlic already in the marinade? Or is their another amount for the vegetable oil, that is seoerare from the 8 cloves in the marinade? (Today I just poured all the marinade with the garlic in i

In reply to Shar from Northern California, USA. Thanks, Shar for the kind words. For annatto powder, I would dissolve it first in about 1/2 cup warm water till there are no more lumps. Then pour it into the mixture while simmering. If you add the powder without dissolving first, I fear it might get clumpy within the sauce. Hope that helps.

Omg THANK YOU , I cannot wait to try this recipe. An aunt made an adobo, which said she came from the visayan or Iloilo region. It was only made by her and no restaurants cooked it (in my area, at least) in annatto (seeds) water like she did, so I thought I’d never find one similar to hers. Many home cooks or chefs put onions or sugar, but she never did. I’m thinking the older generations did not do that. But nonetheless is the closest I have found on the web. I have all the ingredients and can’t wait to use in my 6 qt instantpot.

Question: Since I’ll use annatto powder and no soaking is needed as I’ll put the powder with garlic in the vegetable oil step, Do I still add 1 cup water (which was originally for soaking the seeds) for the instantpot method?
