Adobong Palos (Eel)
November 19, 2009 • Hello. I am currently out of the country and unable to respond to comments and e-mails. Rest assured, however, that future posts have been scheduled so new recipes will go live almost everyday during my absence. I'll be back soon with lots of stories and photos. Ciao for now! ~ Connie
The traditional adobo eel (called palos by the Filipinos) is given a new look and variety when served with the leaves and tender stalks of kangkong (water spinach) and hard-boiled eggs.
When we discard skins or hard stalks of vegetables, like “discard the hard stalks” of the kangkong, or “discard the hard core” of the cabbage or the chayote, or “discard the hard stems” of the black mushrooms, I only mean that they are not to be included in the dish. But, in our house, we don’t throw them away. They make great feed for our hamsters. Even the carrot skin and lower portions of leeks and onion leaves are not thrown away. Why feed the hamsters with pellets everyday when they can have fresh vegetables? We accumulate less garbage too.
