Ingredients

• 2 pounds Pork shoulder
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 0.5 cup Soy sauce (or liquid aminos for keto)
• 0.5 cup Apple cider vinegar
• 6 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 3 pieces Bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon Black peppercorns
• 1 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Erythritol sweetener
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork shoulder into approximately 1-inch cubes and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 2

Heat the coconut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the pork cubes into the pot in batches to avoid overcrowding and brown them on all sides. This should take about 5 minutes per batch. Remove the browned pork and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant but not burnt, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Return all the browned pork cubes to the pot.

Step 6

Pour in the soy sauce (or liquid aminos), apple cider vinegar, and water.

Step 7

Add the bay leaves and peppercorns. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

Step 8

Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for approximately 45 minutes, or until the pork is tender and the sauce has reduced to your liking.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning by adding more salt if needed. Stir in the erythritol sweetener to balance the flavors.

Step 10

Once the adobo is cooked and well seasoned, remove from heat and discard the bay leaves.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnished with chopped green onions if desired, and enjoy.
