Adobo de Campesino

According to Gene Gonzalez, owner and instructor of Center for Asian Culinary Studies and author of The Little Adobo Book, the presence of annatto oil in this Southern Luzon favorite must have originated from the Spanish friars since other Hispanized colonies use annatto oil too. Aside from sitaw, you can  also use other legumes like sigarilyas.
