Adobo is a Mexican paste made from fresh and/or dried chillies, herbs, spices and vinegar. There are many versions of Adobo with varies types of chillies being used in different regions. Adobo paste can be used on a variety of dishes from pork to chicken. At Wickedfood Earth Cooking School we love to cook this spicy adobo stew. We  use our own bottled Adobe paste, and serve with rice or boiled potatoes.
