The National Commission of Culture and the Arts (NCCA) has conducted a culinary demonstration of the iconic Filipino dish adobo in partnership with the Philippine Embassy in Chile and Chile-based Asian food restaurant Tachi.
Serving as part of the celebration for the 50th anniversary of the diplomatic relations between Peru and the Philippines, the cooking demonstration was led by Chef Miguel Paolo Damatac, the executive chef and owner of Tachi, and was aired on the Arriba Mi Gente TV program on Channel 2, Latina Television last July 24.
Prior to the demonstration, there was also a Peruvian cooking class that was aired on the channel. Both demonstrations were made in coordination with the Filipino community in Peru.
As one of the most popular dishes in the Philippines, adobo involves marination in vinegar, soy sauce, garlic, and spices, which shares similarities with dishes from Peruvian cuisine.
The culinary demonstration is available to watch on Arriba Mi Gente’s Facebook page. Other activities that will be conducted in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Peru and the Philippines’ diplomatic relations have yet to be announced as of writing.
