Gluten-Free Kare-Kare (Filipino Peanut Stew) - Celiac.com
Kare-Kare is a beloved Filipino dish known for its rich peanut sauce, tender meat, and vibrant vegetables. Traditionally made with oxtail, tripe, or pork hock, and accompanied by eggplant, banana blossoms, and long beans, Kare-Kare is a fixture at many Filipino celebrations and Sunday lunches. Its deep nutty flavor and signature golden hue come from ground roasted peanuts or peanut butter, combined with annatto (achuete) seeds for color. The dish has its roots in Pampanga, often called the culinary capital of the Philippines, and is said to have been influenced by Indian curry dishes introduced during the Manila-Acapulco galleon trade, though Kare-Kare contains no curry spices.
