Title: Pork and Chicken Wing Adobo with Spinach
Categories: Chinese, Pork, Chicken, Ceideburg 2
Yield: 4 servings

2 lb Chicken wings
1 1/2 lb Boneless pork
3/4 c Palm vinegar, distilled
-white vinegar or cider
-vinegar
3 tb Light soy sauce
6 To 8 garlic cloves, peeled
2 Shallots, chopped
1 ts Coarsely ground black pepper
1/2 ts Salt
2 Bay leaves
1 1/2 c Water
1 1/2 tb Vegetable oil
Fresh spinach, blanched
Hot cooked rice

One of my all time favorite things to eat…

There are many ways of preparing adobo. In this recipe, the sauce is
reduced to a rich savory glaze to coat the pork and chicken.

Cut chicken wings between the joints. Remove tips and save for
stock. Trim fat from pork. Cut meat into 1-inch cubes.

Combine the vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, shallots, pepper, salt and bay
leaves in a non aluminum saucepan; add wings and pork, toss well to
coat and let marinate for 1 to 3 hours.

Add the water to the saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat and
simmer for 20 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the chicken and
set aside. Let pork cook for 20 minutes longer. Remove the pork.

Reduce the sauce over high heat to about 1 cup; strain into a bowl.
Spoon off fat.

Heat the oil in a skillet; add chicken and pork and saute until nicely
browned.

Heat the sauce, then combine with chicken and pork. Serve hot on a
bed of blanched spin- spinach and steamed rice.

Makes 4 servings.

Title: Lefse
Categories: Breads, Christmas
Yield: 6 servings

2 c Milk, scalded
1/2 c Lard
1 tb Salt
4 c Flour

Add lard, salt and 2 cups flour to scalded milk and mix well over low
heat. Remove from fire. Sift 2 cups of flour on board, add warm
dough and work in flour. Knead well and cool. This dough can be
rolled immediately or kept in a cool place for a couple of days. May
be stored in a plastic bag. Make a small patty, about hamburger size,
with even sealed edges as you would for pastry. Flour board lightly
and with a Scandinavian rolling pin roll patty in all directions,
keeping the dough round. Roll lightly, stretching dough until it is
almost as large as the lefse baker. Use pointed stick to handle
dough when it is transferred from the board to the baker. Brown
lightly, prick air bubbles, turn and brown other side. It may be
necessary to change heat control from high to low. This is a soft
bread. Serve with butter, or butter and sugar. (Note: I don’t have
either a Scandinavian rolling pin or a lefse baker, so I use a
regular rolling pin and a griddle. This is like a Swedish tortilla!
We usually spread butter and sprinkled sugar over the lefse then
rolled them up and DEVOURED them!)
