Kare-kare




Looking at the picture above, you would love it at first sight the way I had when we traveled to my father’s hometown. Then how much more when you taste this goat meat, peanut-based, seasoned with vegetables, and stewed oxtail (tail of cattle) kare-kare?

Most often, kare-kare is eaten with bagoong or shrimp paste, strewn with calamansi drips and of course the chili for spicing. Any place in the Philippines, particularly in the Pampanga region is unsatisfied without preparing Kare-kare in their occasions.

On the further side, there are numerous stories where this somewhat amazing kare-kare originated. The first one is from Pampanga. Another is from the noble dishes of the Moro elite people who formerly established Mindanao, Sulu, and Palawan before the Spanish dominators.

Kare-kare is a soothing food for Filipinos, and is a long-lasting family choice in both home and abroad.
