About:
Kare-kare is a Filipino stew complemented with a thick savory peanut sauce. Beef (oxtail) is commonly used in Kare Kare dishes. In this recipe, we will be using Pork Pata (Pata Tim) using Instant Pot. It gives you a different savory than beef but something you will enjoy the same as Beef Kare Kare.
