Kare-Kare is a rich, savory Filipino stew traditionally made with slow-cooked oxtail, tripe, and vegetables such as eggplant, string beans, and banana heart, all simmered in a creamy peanut sauce. It is typically served with a side of bagoong (fermented shrimp paste) to enhance its bold flavors. A staple in Filipino cuisine, Kare-Kare is a hearty dish often enjoyed during family gatherings and special occasions. Nutritionally, this stew offers protein from the meat and fiber from the vegetables. Peanuts in the sauce provide healthy fats and essential nutrients, though their high calorie content should be considered for those monitoring fat intake. Depending on the cut of meat, Kare-Kare can be high in cholesterol and saturated fats, making it a dish best enjoyed in moderation. Health-conscious cooks may opt for leaner proteins and lighter alternatives to traditional ingredients, such as low-sodium peanut butter or vegetable-based broth.
