Recipe - Adobo Pork Waffles

The expression "necessity is the mother of all invention" rings true in my kitchen all to often. Recently, dinner time was approaching and I had made no plans. So much like an episode of the television show Chopped, I cobbled together a random assortment of ingredients with the intent of creating a cohesive dinner. Frozen waffles, check, sliced Havarti cheese, check, pork sirolin, check. The resulting meal was delicious. Definitely hubby approved and even toddler approved. Check out the recipe below for Adobo Pork Waffles:

Ingredients:

6 frozen gluten free waffles (heat up as directed) or make 6 fresh GF waffles
1lb pork sirloin - cut into 1/4 inch cubes
6 thin slices of Havarti Cheese (I use Boar's Head brand) - cut in half
1 tablespoon of olive oil
3 large button mushrooms - sliced
1 mini yellow sweet pepper- diced
1 mini red sweet pepper- diced
1 mini orange sweet pepper- diced
1/2 a small yellow onion - diced
1 tablespoon of minced garlic
Adobo seasoning mix (in the Hispanic section of most grocery stores, the Badia brand say GF)
white wine
arugula
1 sliced hass avocado

Instructions:

Prepare waffles as directed. Sprinkle the raw chopped pork with Adobo seasoning. About one teaspoon.

In a skillet over medium high heat add olive oil. When oil is hot add garlic, mushroom, onion and peppers. Saute until the onions are translucent and peppers soft. Use a splash of wine to deglaze the pan. Add the seasoned pork into the pan with vegetables, Add another sprinkle of Adobo seasoning, to taste. Saute until the pork is cooked through. Deglaze the pan again with another healthy splash of wine. You want it to help create a little sauce to the mixture.

On a plate put a warm waffle, top with a half slice of Havarti cheese. Add 1/6th of the meat and vegetable mixture to the waffle and cheese. Top this with the other half of Havarti, a handful of arugula and a couple slices of avocado. ( note:For my husband I plated two waffles and just ne for my toddler)

Hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
