Kare-Kare
 

Description:  Main Dish

Ingredients:
2lbs. oxtail pieces 
2 cloves minced garlic
1 pc. medium onion, diced
4 tbsp. cooking oil
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1 cup smooth peanut butter
1 pc. eggplant, chopped
1 cup string beans cut into 2 inch pieces
2 cups spinach or cabbage, chopped
salt to taste

Instructions: 
Place oxtails in large pot, cover with water. Boil for 2-3 hours until meat is very tender & soft.  Meanwhile, begin chopping/mincing other ingredients.

When meat is tender, remove foam with spoon. After skimming the boiled broth, water should barely cover the cooked meat. Stir in other ingredients, except for the vegetables for about 10 minutes.

Add vegetables, cook for 2-3 more minutes.

Serve with white rice and bagoong. (Bagoong - Preserved Shrimp Paste)

Variation:
I usually just saute some garlic then add in all the vegetables and add everything to the Kare-Kare mixture. And I never use oxtail but juts pure lean beef for this recipe.
