Kare Kare Peanut Sauce & Marinade

There are lots of reasons why I fall for sauces like this. For one, they’re delicious—obviously—but I really love how easy they make my life. How do I make something flavorful in a matter of minutes and feed these four hungry mouths? Answer: Kare-Kare.

Fila Manila is still a young company (we also sell their version of Adobo sauce, check it out) with a clear vision: bring the flavors out of the home of a first generation Filipino American and share them with curious culinarians around the country. Kare-Kare (pronounced “kah reh-kah reh”) is their version of a thick, rich peanut sauce. It’s sweet, creamy, nutty, a little tangy and all around delicious. I usually use this with chicken and serve over rice, but it’s great with roasted or cooked veggies. Simply cook your protein till it’s tender then add this sauce and simmer it on low for ten minutes or so. It also makes a great marinade and since all the ingredients are real and pronounceable and vegan and gluten-free, you can use it to make a dressing for a spring salad, too. Give it a shot and see what you can come up with.
