Heritage of the Dish

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 moreish.

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.

Hero Ingredients

Sherry Vinegar

Sherry vinegar (vinagre de Jerez) is a key ingredient in Spanish cooking, known for its deep, rounded acidity and subtle nutty complexity. Aged in the traditional solera system in Cádiz, it develops layers of flavour that balance brightness with richness. It’s widely used in marinades, dressings and sauces to lift and enhance dishes. In Spanish cuisine, it adds harmony, depth and a distinctive finishing touch.

Free Range Chicken

Free-range British chicken from award-winning family butcher, slow-grown and reared to high welfare standards for maximum flavour. Naturally tender and full-bodied in taste delivering juicy, richly flavoured meat with a satisfying depth.
