Kare-kare of Mantos

In my dad's side they usually prepare this dish, chicken with "gata" with a touch of red chill and pineapple bits. but that wasn't his favorite, he only once taste it and never try it again. ButIn every occasion it was always there. While in my mom’s side there is a recipe that they always cook in every celebration. That is “kare-kare”, it’s been passed to generation to next generation. My great grandmother’s kare-kare is basically made with the simple recipe. But with “secret ingredients.” The secret ingredients are : grilled peanut and sticky rice. And when you cook it’s how you balance each ingredients to make a great kare-kare.

 My mom taught me how to cook the kare kare our own way and of course the first was horrible. It turns out the sauce, can be peanut butter spread to a bread. But the second time I learn my lesson so, it turn out well compare to the first one.
