Kare-Kare Recipe Video
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, €œpalayok€ (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.
