Mama Sita’s Peanut Kare-Kare Mix

Mama Sita’s Kare-Kare Peanut Sauce Mix is a savory, nutty seasoning blend used to create the iconic Filipino peanut stew. It captures the traditional flavor of toasted rice and rich peanuts, providing a thick, golden sauce with a distinct, mild aroma. This mix simplifies a labor-intensive dish, delivering an authentic "fiesta" taste that perfectly complements meats and blanched vegetables.

USAGE:

Dissolve one pouch of Mama Sita’s Kare-Kare Mix in 1 cup (250ml) of water or broth and set aside. In a pot, boil 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of oxtail or beef until tender, then add your prepared mix and simmer until the sauce thickens. Stir in blanched vegetables like eggplant, string beans, and bok choy, and always serve with a side of sautéed shrimp paste (bagoong) for the essential salty contrast.
