Filipino Adobo

This is NOT my recipe, but I got it from this website http://www.tribo.org/filipinofood/adobo.html. It's one of the best I've tried, very true to the "real thing".

• Ready In: 1 hr 15 mins
• Serves: 8

Ingredients

• 1  cup distilled white vinegar or 1  cup cider vinegar
• 1  cup water
• 2  tablespoons  peeled and crushed garlic
• 2  teaspoons salt
• 2  pieces bay leaves
• 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper
• 1  lb chicken, cut into serving pieces
• 2  lbs  pork butt, cut into cubes
•  soy sauce
•  oil

Directions

1. Add vinegar, water, garlic, salt, bay leaves and pepper into a large casserole. Bring to a boil. Add the meat, cover and bring to a boil. Simmer and cook for about 30 minutes. Sprinkle liberally with soy sauce and cook for an additional 10 minutes.
2. Remove meat and reduce sauce.
3. Remove sauce to a bowl.
4. Put oil into the casserole and brown cooked meat. Drain oil from the casserole, and return the reduced sauce back with the meat.
