casaveneracion.com mushrooms adobo in coconut creamTwo of the entries I lost when all my blogs went down last December were the recipes for mushrooms adobo and guinataang kabute (mushrooms in coconut cream). I’ve been itching to do them again but it hasn’t been easy finding fresh mushrooms lately. Whichever supermarket we’ve been to, the mushrooms were old, kinda withered with dark spots. The last time I was able to get large, smooth, white button mushrooms, I decided to combine the two recipes that I had lost earlier. Ergo, adobong kabute sa gata or mushrooms adobo in coconut cream.

It’s not the same as cooking pork or chicken adobo. Mushrooms are fatless and you can’t make them render fat no matter how long you cook them. You’ll only make them shrink if you cook them for too long. You don’t add soy sauce either–the mushrooms brown in oil fast and adding soy sauce will make the cooked dish far too dark to look attractive. Does that mean that this is something more complicated that meat adobo? Actually, no. This is easier and simpler.

I used rice vinegar for this recipe because of its less pungent aroma and more subtle flavors. It’s alright to use sukang paombong when cooking meat but I find it too overpowering for cooking vegetable dishes. I also used ground white pepper for the same reason.

    No problem, Shirley. Am only too glad to give moms an alternative from canned goods and fast foods. :)

    you’re welcome, Rho. Ummmm you might want to substitute some other kind of vegetable oil that does not solidify, like olive oil, perhaps?

          • I tried this recipe. I loved it. My kids loved it. However, I added brocolli, kse for me, pag kabuti lang, medyo appetizer ang dating. I cooked it as ulam. My kids loved it.

  3. Ms. Connie,

    I think someone used your photo without credit. Check this out:

    I was searching for mushroom adobo dishes and the above link turned up in my google search. And since I had just come across the same photo and recipe on your blog (which I am a fan of), the photo seemed very familiar. While it is a similar recipe, the photo seemed obviously cropped to remove your watermark. I didn’t see any credit or link to your site, so I thought the blogger didn’t have permission to use the image. Just thought you should know, in case she didn’t really have permission to use the image.
