KCC – Spanish and Filipino Dishes

This month’s theme was pretty broad.  I had to pick a dish that was Spanish influenced.  There was so many dishes I couldn’t decide what to make.  This past weekend, I was given the opportunity to make 2 dishes.  The first dish was Maja Blanca for my nephew's birthday.  Than on Sunday, there is a wonderful event called Adobofest.  This gives the opportunity for the Filipino Community to get together and have a huge picnic.  There is even a competition who has the best adobo.  So I decided to enter.  This would have been the first time actually made adobo.  I have made adobo filling for siopao but to me, this is a little different.  It was a fun but exhausting weekend.  It was totally worth it and I was able to make Spanish influenced dishes.  
Here are some pics from adobofest

 

The husband’s sampler plate of all the different adobo.  Do you know, he questioned if he should.  BTW that is The Daughter’s hand trying to get more.

My adobo is a bit watery.  I kept adding vinegar and water until it was just right. 

It was a Pork Adobo

Maja Blanca has got to be the easiest desserts and I picked it since it contained ingredients that my nephew was not allergic to.   It is a coconut pudding with or with out corn.  I like adding the corn for the taste and texture.
