Adobo - cooking recipe

Ingredients

6 -8 garlic cloves
1 -2 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon salt
1 jalapeno peppers (optional) or 1 other chili pepper (optional)
1/2 cup oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar

Preparation

Place all the ingredients together in a blender or food processor and process until fairly smooth.
Use as a marinade for pork, chicken or beef.
Meats flavored with adobo are often left to marinate for up to 5 days. The longer the time, the better the flavor.
Variation:.
Substitute 1-2 dried ancho or other chilies for the paprika to get a Mexican-style marinade.
Soak the chilies in hot water for about 20 minutes to soften first.
