<IngredientText>Kare – Kare (Peanut Stew)
May 30, 2009 by Vanjo Merano
Kare-Kare is a traditional Filipino stew complimented with a thick savory peanut sauce. The commonly used meats for this dish are ox tail, tripe, and pork leg; on some occasions goat and chicken meat are also used. Besides the peanuts, this dish depends on the shrimp paste (on the side) in order to be fully enjoyed. Traditionally, “palayok” (clay cooking pot) is used to cook this dish and it is also used as the serving pot.
I almost tried every meat that can possibly used in cooking Kare-Kare and in my opinion ox tail, pig’s leg, cow’s face (yes, face off), and tripe are the ones that I like. Ask every Filipino that you know and I’m sure that they have a lot to say about this wonderful dish.
