Pork & Potatoes In Peanut Butter Sauce
Pork & Potatoes In Peanut Butter Sauce dish is creamy, sweet, and very filling. It’s like a deconstructed or should I say minimized version of Filipino dish, Kare-Kare because there’s no eggplant, long beans, Bok choy, and the fermented shrimp on the side.
If you are craving the Kare-Kare flavor but you don’t have all the other components of what makes a delicious and authentic Kare-Kare, here’s a very simplified variation.
