Kare kare is one of my favorite traditional Filipino dish. It is simply a meat cooked with peanut based sauce. They mostly used ox tail, beef stripe, or pork leg. Some also are goat meat or chicken depends on your preference. For me personally speaking, I prefer the pork leg. Try this one and you will surely love it!
