Hero ingredient

Sherry vinegar

The Spanish translation is "vinagre de jerez" this sweet vinegar is produced in the province of Cadiz in between three towns known as the sherry triangle. Sherry vinegar is produced under a denomination of origin meaning that it can only be produced in the Jerez region of Spain and under a strict aging process. Sherry is aged in the solera system which means that oak casks filled with sherry are piled up in a pyramid style with the oldest casks at the bottom of the pile. The buildings the casks are kept in are often south or southwest facing so that the sherry can take the advantages of a sea breeze. When it comes to bottling, the vinegar is taken from the oldest barrels at the bottom but never more than a third of the barrel is used. It is then topped up with the youngest sherry from the top of the pyramid creating a unique blend of flavours.

Heritage of the dish

'Adobo' comes from the Spanish word 'adobar' meaning to marinate and in Spain usually refers to a vinegar and olive oil marinade flavoured with chilli, herbs and salt & pepper. Marinades like this were invented before refrigerators to help preserve protein for longer. Different versions of adobo can be seen around the world in countries that were colonised by the Spanish empire including Mexico, Puerto Rico and the Philippines.

Notes from the chef

Read transcript

In Spain, the adobo you'll find refers to the process of marinating raw protein in vinegar, wine, oil, spices, and aromatics including pimentón sweet paprika & fresh garlic. You can find variations of adobo in other countries such as the Philippines where they use soy sauce as the marinade, also you will find variations in Mexico, but the sauce is thicker made with dried chiles and spices.

I learnt to make this dish in the first restaurant I worked at here in Mallorca & I was blown away by the rich flavours, the sweet, smoky savoury combination. For me this is what Spanish food is all about, powerful flavours. I’ve combined this menu with another classic Spanish tapas dish, patatas bravas which are crispy potato bites served with a spicy brava sauce & the classic aioli garlicky mayonnaise which is totally morish.

Health Nugget

Chicken is rich in iron and also a fantastic source of lean protein, essential for muscle growth and repair. Fresh parsley, rosemary and garlic are all rich in vitamin C, which helps iron to be properly absorbed in the body, making it the perfect pairing for chicken.

Kitchen Tips

"For an even deeper flavour, marinate the chicken in the adobo sauce overnight. The drained juices from the chicken can be reduced in a pan and used to glaze the finished chicken for an extra special touch!"
