About Adobo Arequipeño
El Comercio’s adobo arequipeño follows the Arequipa pork-stew tradition associated in its account with Sunday meals. This representative uses pork leg marinated with chicha de jora, red vinegar, ají panca and onion.
Garlic, cumin, oregano, bay and pimienta de chapa contribute aromatic seasoning. Annatto oil and paprika enrich the cooking base, with a whole rocoto offered as an optional spicy addition.
The tender pork pieces sit in their cooking juices in a deep plate. Bread accompanies the stew, giving the substantial meat-and-sauce presentation its published finishing combination.
