Crispy Pata Kare-Kare

Kare-are is a traditional Filipino dish consist mainly of oxtail cooked until tender. This is then enhanced with thick and flavorful peanut sauce. It is then paired with bagoong alamang or sauteed shrimp paste.

Instead of using ox tail as the main ingredient, others uses alternatives like ox tripe and pork leg while others uses goat chicken or pork meat.

I used to prepare kare-kare using pork leg or pata slice. To add additional twist, I blanched the vegetables, made the pork crispy-pata style, prepare the sauce separately before pouring it over the other ingredients.
