KARE KARE

Kare kare is one that many people appreciates because of the unique sweetness and the distinctive taste of the alamang that is part of the dish. kare kare's alamang goes together. I remembered the first time I cooked this dish, it was a challenging one. I don't know where to start. I was just trying to cook the dish without reading any recipe book for guidance. But the end product was a good one. For this recipe, here are the ingredients:

1 kg ox tail, cut into serving portions
1 kg ox ear, cut into serving portions
4 cloves garlic, crushed
2 pcs onion, sliced
1 tbsp oil
achuete seeds, soaked in 1/3 cup water
1 pc banana heart, sliced crosswise
1 bundle string beans, cut into 2" length
5 pcs eggplant, cut into 2 broth
1/2 cup toasted peanuts, pounded
salt and pepper to taste

Cooking procedure:

1. Clean ox tail and ox ear very well, boil until tender
2. in another pan, saute garlic and onion in oil. Add achuete water and meat. Bring to a boil.
3. Add cooked vegetables and enough broth to make sauce. Add powdered rice and peanuts.
4. Season with salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning.
5. Served with sauted bagoong alamang.
