Oxtail kare-kare

[Corzhens]

This is a native dish of the Philippines like the famous Adobo. I am posting this because kare-kare is our dinner. Its main ingredient is ox tail that I bought in market - 3 kilos. When the ox tail is tender it is cooked with a mix of peanut butter and roasted ground rice. Quite unique with the rice eh? The garnishing is sliced banana blossom and string beans. And you eat it with shrimp paste for the slightly salty flavoring.

Do you have a recipe for it or some pictures? I guess it is hard for most of us to envisage the dish.

If you search google images of kare-kare there are lots of images. They look more or less like this. It seems that you can add lots of other things but the oxtail and peanuts remain constant. Sounds wonderful. Particularly with the shrimp paste on the side!

That does look really good but I am not so sure of the peanut butter with all the other combinations. I don't think it is something that I would ever cook but I would definitely give it a try if somebody else made it!
