Question 14

Analysis of adobo seasoning

Accepted Answer

Adobo seasoning, much loved in Latin American and Filipino cuisines is a wonder spice blend. It typically has a mix of garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, cumin, and black pepper to give off savory, aromatic, and slightly spicy flavors. The problem people have most frequently is either using too much of the spice blend or too little. When     seasoned correctly using adobo can elevate your dish, but if poorly dosed, it can overpower or underwhelm a dish.

For excellent use of Adobo seasoning always consider the type of dish you’re preparing. For meats, you might consider using more as the seasoning flavor penetrates better for these types of dishes. For vegetable and lighter dishes, a smidge will do just to add that extra kick in the flavor profile without overpowering the natural taste of the vegetables.

To get the most out of Adobo seasoning, consider adding it at the end of your cooking process since high heat can kill some of the flavors, particularly in the oregano and cumin. For less seasoned dishes like salsas or guacamole, you can add earlier in the blend to provide the seasoning ample time to infuse its flavor. You can also use the seasoning as a condiment for those who love to adjust their dishes to their preference.

Some little known tips for using Adobo seasoning include using it as a marinade. Combine Adobo seasoning, vinegar, and olive oil for a quick and easy marinade for chicken or tofu. The vinegar will help tenderize the meat, and the Adobo seasoning will fill it with flavor.
