About Pork kare kare
Pork Kare Kare is a beloved Filipino dish known for its rich, savory peanut sauce and tender cuts of pork. It typically includes a variety of vegetables like eggplant, string beans, and banana heart, all stewed together in a flavorful combination. The signature ingredient is ground roasted peanuts or peanut butter, which contributes its creamy texture and nutty taste. Originating from Filipino cuisine, Kare Kare is often served with a side of bagoong (fermented shrimp paste) for added umami. From a nutritional perspective, the dish offers vitamins and minerals from the vegetables used. However, it can be high in calories and fat due to the pork and peanut-based sauce. Opting for leaner cuts of pork and limiting additional condiments can make the dish lighter. Kare Kare offers a hearty, comforting meal while demonstrating the complexity of Filipino flavors.
