That’s it, my friends. I hope you enjoy your new adobo seasoning recipe. How did you change it up? Which herbs and spices did you choose for yours? Got any secret ingredients? I’d love to hear! No thanks. My pantry is filled with different seasoning blends, as well as the individual ingredients to make them. I love having a variety on hand for different recipes and flavors. One particular that is becoming a new favorite is Adobo Seasoning. If you enjoy garlicky flavors and simple but effective seasonings, this is recipe you’ll want to keep on hand. It is used as an all-purpose seasoning blend, as a rub for meats and as a base for marinades. In some countries or regions, like Puerto Rico, it is as common as salt and pepper. The name itself derives from the Spanish word “adobar”, which means “to marinate”. This comes from classic Spanish cooking, where variations of adobo seasoning are mixed with vinegar or other liquids to create a flavorful marinade for meats - chicken, beef, pork, or fish - or even for vegetables. You’ll find it in various regional cuisines, from Mexican cooking, Cuban, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rican and many more. You can use it as a simple seasoning blend, a dry rub, as a sauce base or for making marinades. However you’d like to use it, I think you’ll agree that is a great flavor builder. Let’s talk about how to make adobo seasoning, shall we? Boom! Done! Homemade adobo seasoning is pretty easy to make, isn’t it? I love this spice blend. Great flavor, and you can adapt it however you’d prefer. Time to get cooking! NOTE: This recipe was updated on 4/23/21 to include new information and video. It was originally published on 10/12/20.
