Ah yes! I did not respond to the spice blend much at all other than
mentioning that it seemed to have more in common with Mexican adobo. However
the OP's description did not sound like anything that I am familiar with. I
suppose I was thinking about Penzey's adobo. I did not know about Filipino
adobo using pork! That is new to me and I thank you for the information!
Would you happen to have a recipe for the pork version?
