crockpot pork adobo

This crockpot pork adobo with black beans is so easy! The garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, and vinegar make for the BEST flavor.

Crockpot Pork Adobo with Black Beans

dry black beans

pork

brown sugar, divided

bay leaves

black peppercorns

vinegar

water

The night before

Rinse the black beans. Soak overnight. This really helps with the texture of the beans, and they won&#8217;t take as long to cook. Place the pork in a large bowl with 2 cups soy sauce, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Cover and marinade in the refrigerator overnight. I left the meat whole for the marinating, but you can also cut it into pieces before marinating.

The next morning

drain the beans. Discard the pork marinade, reserving the bay leaves, garlic, and peppercorns. Cut the pork into 2-inch pieces. Place the black beans in the crockpot, cover with the pork, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns. Pour 1 1/4 cup soy sauce, 3 cups water, and 2 tablespoons brown sugar over the top. Stir once to get the liquid in and around the beans. Cook in the crockpot on low for 8 hours or high for 5-6 hours.

The last hour

check on the adobo &#8211; the pork should be very tender and some of the pieces might naturally fall apart, there should be enough liquid to keep the whole mixture &#8220;saucy&#8221;, and the beans should be soft. Add the vinegar and cook for another 20-30 minutes. Turn the crockpot off and let the mixture cool for a few minutes before serving.

Ok, you sold me. I went on a black bean kick and got a little tired of them a while ago. I think it's time to bring them back. And it's got to be with this dish.

PS I love hearing about your scrappy kitchen! It makes me think 'if she can do THAT in that kind of kitchen, I can do it too!'

I was also wondering when you were going back to USA. Glad to hear! Recipe sounds amazing - must try:)

Well that looks delicious! and easy! I love using dried black beans, too. For the second half of that bag you could make black bean tacos or black bean and bacon soup. (Two of my faves!)

Love the idea of adding black beans!I love adding eggplant to my adobo for a health kick as well. I've always wanted to try adobo in the crock pot and now I'm definitely going to try it.  I want to try this and put it in a burrito. My hubby is Mexican and he suggests putting everything in a tortilla! hahah we've had Bistek burritos and chicken adobo tacos with shredded cabbage. Tastes great.

It looks like a semi-healthy version of Filipino Pork Adobo. Though I hate anything black on my plate, I'll replace it with garbanzo beans, my favorite. The Filipino traditional cooks will get irate when they see this adaptation.

Okay... first-- I love this. I'm really glad you added the black beans!!
But second (and most important!)-- what is the difference with the Filipino soy sauce? I keep several kinds of soy sauce on hand but I'm hard-pressed to find many special ingredients in my back-woods grocery stores. Help me out cause I need this meal in my life!

I have just bought myself a crock pot and some black beans. Seriously. I normally tend to use black-eyed beans as that is what we use in Sierra Leone but I want to use black beans a bit more. Looking forward to trying these (I can actually taste how good these will be ....)
