The Philippines is famous for conjuring up delicious and fresh meals from local ingredients. They try to use the natural flavors of vegetables and leafy greens to preserve the true nature of the food. Sometimes they’ll throw in salt and pepper, but in the past, the ancestors relied on the flavors of the natural broth. Kare-kare is a savory dish and is bursting with flavors of atsuete seeds and it has a creamy peanut texture. It’s not that hard to make and you can see it served in most Philippine restaurants with the local cuisine.
Packed with Protein
The protein from the peanuts is enough to energize you and give your body the healthy fats it needs. You can cook Kare-kare with a variety of ingredients like beans and spinach, but its prime vegetable is the eggplant since the texture mixes quite well with the peanut sauce.
Creamy Goodness
The great factor about this dish is that it’s thick and creamy which can be a standalone dish. It’s much better paired with red rice and tastes simply out of this world. If you’re planning a trip to the Philippines then you must try Kare-kare.
