KARE-KARE
What it is: An oxtail stew with a strong peanut flavor
What’s the deal: Like most stews (except Patrick Stuart, who is far too refined), Kare-kare is the result of tossing the stuff that didn’t cut the mustard in other dishes into a pot. Mainly oxtail, sometimes offal and hooves. Then it’s loaded with crushed peanuts or peanut butter, filled with veggies, and served either on its own or over rice.
