      Title: Kare-Kare - Filipino Ox-Tail Stew
 Categories: Filipino, Beef, Stews, Nuts, Beans
      Yield: 1 batch
 
           String beans
           Chunky peanut butter
           Eggplant
           Ox tail (of course)
           Knorr brand Achuote
 
  Boil the ox tail the night before until it is quite tender,
  but the meat doesn't fall off the bone. Remove the meat and cool the
  soup in the refrigerator. The next evening remove the fat. Cook
  the meat again and add eggplant, string beans and cook some more.
  Add the peanut butter. Mix the Achuote in water and add to the pot
  (only the liquid portion, strain the seeds) Let it cook some more.
  
  I don't prefer the following, but it is tradition: Fry some
  bagoong. Serve with rice.

  Comments:

  Its even better with tripe added.  Also, add lemon to the bagoong.
