TheLadyEve t1_ism3ifb wrote

In New Mexico I've seen it spelled the way OP spells it, but it's different from Mexican adobada.

I guess some of the commenters in here are less familiar with New Mexico cuisine, it's kind of its own thing. Google adovada and you'll see.

They are nowhere near interchangeable. To a Spanish speaker they don't even sound similar.

Itā€™s adovada if itā€™s the New Mexican style of the recipe: https://www.seriouseats.com/carne-adovada-adobada-chili-braised-pork-recipe

RyanCooper101 t1_isihies wrote

I see, so the confusion comes from the dish having a name very closely resembling the process applied to meat.

Adovada is the name of a dish and Adobada comes from Adobar which is the verb for applying Adobo to a meat.

Ya veo, asi que la raƭz de este malentendido surge del nombre de un plato , el qual es casi idƩntico al nombre del proceso que se ha aplicado a dicho plato.

Adovada siendo el nombre de un plato especĆ­fico y adobada siendo la palabra que usamos para referirnos a una carne que ha recibido adobo.

ownlife909 t1_isjpj2t wrote

Exactly, thatā€™s a very clear way of explaining the difference. Iā€™m not sure which OP was referring to (and honestly that doesnā€™t look like carne adovada, which is usually/always chunks of meat), but itā€™s not inherently incorrect.

I think New Mexico is the only area that spells it that way, I've lived in southern CA and southern AZ (and have visited Mexico), and only saw it spelled "adobada." It was weird seeing the different spelling when I visited New Mexico even though the pronunciation is essentially the same.

It's totally not. It's not about common vs. uncommon. Adovada is just straight up wrong. If you've seen it spelled like this, don't eat at that place.

lmrath t1_isjcp6y wrote

Itā€™s a phonetics thing. We say the b as a v but itā€™s supposed to be spelled with a b. So if you were to say this out loud, you want ā€œadovadaā€ but spelling should be ā€œadobadaā€ especially since youā€™re using adobo (not adovo)

Spanish has an official language authority, the R.A.E., people do not get to spell words differently, there is a single source of truth that receives revisions over time but this is just not up for discussion. The spelling with a v is wrong.

DanelleDee t1_isjgxvz wrote

Exactly! I read a book on etymology called "The Meaning of Everything." I learned that in English it is common to borrow words from other languages and spell them with Anglo-Saxon vowels and misspellings. If these are used often enough, they become a part of the English language. (For example: a Chinese* word for a tomato based condiment is adopted and corrupted into "Catsup," which eventually became "ketchup.") The oxford English dictionary keeps track but there is no one who sets rules on what is incorporated into the language. It's fluid. It changes a lot over time.

So you might be able to convince me that "adovada" is a word in English. But Spanish (and French,) are regulated. There is a board that standardizes the language and makes rulings on new words. Mistakes are not incorporated into the language. People still use "slang,' but it is always understood to be incorrect and doesn't change the original meaning of the word over time. Interestingly, this means French has only a small fraction of the number of words that English has, and older French texts are much more comprehensible to a modern reader than English texts.

*Sorry, I don't know which dialect.

In much of the southwest US (New Mexico, Arizona) adovada is a real and distinct thing. Adobada is usually marinated and seared while adovada is braised. Adovada is always pork while Iā€™ve seen other meats used for adobada.

saltyloempia t1_isisf7i wrote

Montypmsm t1_isj4zp0 wrote

Thatā€™s because theyā€™re different dishes. Adobada is much more widespread.

Adovada originated in New Mexico. Itā€™s pork braised in New Mexican red chile. Adobada is from Mexico and is meat marinated in adobo and seared. You can tell this is adovada because the meat shredded, which happens from braising and not searing.

Ah yeah. Could be that. Thereā€™s pockets of New Mexico that still have 1500s Spanish accents too, as they were relatively isolated from the rest of the Spanish speaking world. Not sure if it came from that or was something new. Either way, itā€™s delicious!

Montypmsm t1_ismbzp4 wrote

Itā€™s a Texan saying depicting someone who dresses like a grandiose cowboy (10 gallon hat) but has no knowledge, experience, or responsibility of being a cowboy.

Iā€™ll share some knowledge though. New Mexican cuisine is absolutely inspired by Mexican cuisine. Itā€™s also inspired by native cuisine (both pre and post reservations) and settlers. In the case of adovada, it is seasoned with New Mexican red chile, made from New Mexican peppers cultivated near Santa Fe by the Pueblos centuries ago. Adobada on the other hand is made from adobo sauce (which is a Spanish sauce by origin of technique) and usually is made with dried guajillos and other peppers. The flavor profile is smokier and less bright and sweet for adobo. As Iā€™ve already said, the cooking method is also different: adovada is braised while adobada is seared. Adovada isnā€™t always marinated either, unlike adobada.

All to say, yes, Mexican food is similar to New Mexican food. But because there are deviations from ingredients, techniques, and different influences, itā€™s not the same. I wouldnā€™t call Tex-mex like queso smothered bbq brisket tacos Mexican food and I certainly wouldnā€™t call adovada the same thing as adobada because they donā€™t taste the same.

Objective_Lion196 t1_ismh8zy wrote

Marinating meat in Chile sauce is a prehispƔnic technique, maybe the Spanish added the vinegar but definitely not the technique of marinating meat.

Sigh.... New Mexico peppers are from Mexico though the use of peppers was not as big in that area of the Americas. And changing the cooking method is not that big of a deal which is why I mentioned the ingredients.

It's not just based on Mexican food it literally is Mexican food made by people who were Mexican at the time in what was considered Mexico. My family is Texan and we wouldn't call queso covered anything texmex. Besides that anything in a tortilla is a taco and tacos come from?

Montypmsm t1_ismjuu0 wrote

New Mexican Chiles and Guajillo chiles are both cultivars of the same chile, youā€™re right there. But broccoli, mustard greens, kale, brussel sprouts, and cauliflower are all cultivars of the same plant too, which I think illustrates just how different and distinguished cultivars can be. New Mexican chiles were cultivated in modern day New Mexico, not Mexico. Theyā€™re a cornerstone of New Mexican cuisine and not Mexican cuisine.

Find me a few traditional places in Mexico serving tacos like they have in Torchyā€™s or Velvet taco and Iā€™ll gladly concede every taco is Mexican food. Sure, the tortilla is Central American in origin, but sticking a hickory smoked jalapeƱo and cheddar sausage in it isnā€™t. Cajun food isnā€™t French just because itā€™s heavily influenced by French cuisine. Italians will tell you gratuitous foreign pizzas are not Italian simply because they drew inspiration from Italian food. What makes Mexico so special that it can claim all derivative cultures as itā€™s own while denying that it itself is a derivative culture?

Anyways, Iā€™m done feeding the troll. I think Iā€™ve conclusively proven the distinction, not that it needed to be done, since itā€™s fairly obvious for anyone whoā€™s experienced the cultures and foods.

Give huevos motuleƱos a try. Itā€™s similar to rancheros, but the salsa has an habanero, and the top is sprinkled with ham and peas. Youā€™d think it would be super spicy, but the habanero is cooked whole in the salsa, so you get a great flavor without overwhelming heat. The lady who taught me to make them said the habanero ā€˜took a walkā€™ through the salsa.

PuddnheadAZ OP t1_isjxem6 wrote

I use a instaPot. I fry up a medium-small white onion, few garlic cloves and some diced chile (fresh roasted is best). Add 2lbs sorted and rinsed beans, with water about three inches over the level of the beans (water salted to taste - Iā€™m gonna get flack for the salted comment, but it really is better). Throw in a sachet of approx 1 Tablespoon oregano, 1 teaspoon thyme, 1 Tablespoon whole pepper corns, and 2 basil leafs. Pressure cook for about 48 minutes for super creamy beans. Those I eat some that way, and refry some as well. For the refry, itā€™s just melt up some fat (say 3 Tablespoons of bacon grease is good) then throw about 2 cups of those beans in a pan with a little bit of the liquid and heat and mash. Add more bean liquid if you want them runnier, or cook longer if you want them thicker. Throw a fistful of your favorite melty cheese in when you have the consistency you like (always go slightly runnier than you want the end product to be). Melt the cheese, season to taste, and youā€™re done. The instaPot isnā€™t necessary of course, it just takes a lot longer without it. Soaking beans overnight speeds the process.
