This traditional Filipino stew composed of ox tail cooked in a thick, savory peanut sauce, vegetables and "bagoong" is one of the celebratory dishes always served during birthdays, fiestas, and special occasions. Our ancestors used to cook this dish in a palayok (clay terracotta pot), but now, they just serve Kare- Kare in the palayok.
This recipe however, is a recipe we were grateful to have tasted. Thank you Tita Merceditas!!
