Pork Adobo with Mushroom

Along with sinigang, adobo is one of my go-to Filipino dishes to cook for my family. There are so many ways to cook adobo. Some may use different meats, and some may use a different cooking procedure. For example, one method of cooking adobo is to combine all the ingredients in one pot and simply boil it until the meat is tender. This pork adobo with mushroom dish, browns the meat first before adding the rest of the ingredients. The mushrooms are added in the final stage of cooking. The dish turned out good with the meat being so tender and flavorful.  In this version, the meat tastes better and browning the meat first adds a deep flavor to the sauce.
