Felina's Chicken Adobo

"As the national dish of the Philippines, chicken adobo recipes probably number in the gajillions. But Felina's takes classic ingredients and combines them with a little bit of history! Simple to make, this dish will definitely become a go-to recipe. Plus, the leftovers taste even better the next day...especially with a fried egg on top!"

Barbecue Rub and Sauce

Use it on ribs, pork shoulders, chickens-anything you want to taste like American barbecue. Use 2 to 3 teaspoons per pound of meat. A 4-pound chicken will take 1/2 to 2 tablespoons. You'll find hickory-smoked salt available in the spice rack of most supermarkets. To make a spicier rub, substitute hot paprika for some or all of the sweet paprika.

Vegetable Maafé

"A great maafé effortlessly balances sweet, savory, earthy and spicy. Maafé is often called West African peanut stew, but that’s an oversimplification. Across the region, there are many versions that feature peanuts as a base, and all are greatly nuanced: For example, there’s akitiwa in Togo, nkatenkwan in Ghana and miyan taushe across northern Nigeria. This highly adaptable stew can be made with any assortment of meat, poultry, seafood and seasonal vegetables you have on hand (see Tip), but this one goes all in on produce.
