Raquel San Juan from Sydney’s La Mesa restaurant talks about a classic recipe for kare kare. Tender oxtail and ground peanuts flavour this rich and hearty, curry-like stew, that's one of the Philippines’ most loved dishes.
Ingredients
1 oxtail, cut into 2 inch thick pieces1 sheet of ox tripe (optional)
1 medium sized eggplant
¼ head of a medium sized pumpkin
3 tbsp vegetable oil
4 cloves of garlic, chopped/minced
1 large onion, sliced
1 tbsp atsuete (annatto) concentrate
2 cups of peanut butter
1 bunch of baby bokchoy
Preparation
Wash the oxtail cuts and place in a heavy saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook until the meat is tender, adding water if needed.Meanwhile, cook the tripe in a separate pan with enough water until tender. Cut into 5cm squares.
Cut the eggplant and pumpkin into square-shaped chunks.
When oxtail is tender, transfer to a plate or bowl to cool, reserving the stock.
In a large casserole dish, sauté the garlic and onion with the vegetable oil for about 30 seconds.
Add the atsuete to the casserole and mix with the sautéed garlic and onion.
Add the meat into the casserole and keep mixing.
Pour in the stock and bring to a boil for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure colour of atsuete (annatto) is mixed thoroughly.
Add the eggplant and pumpkin, and continue cooking until the vegetables are cooked.
In a bowl, mix the peanut butter and about ½ cup of the reserved stock. Pour this into the casserole, stirring, until well combined. Cook for a further 5-7 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
Add the bokchoy just before turning off the heat.
Serve hot with boiled rice and shrimp paste (bagoong) on the side.
