@Mikecondo, Makati.. Hi, so sorry for the late reply. I haven’t checked on this for a long time. I’ve never done Kare-kare with other nut ingredients aside from peanuts. If she is not allergic to cashew nuts (unsalted) then you can try that… There’s also soy nut butter sold at the supermarket… You may want to give it a try. The taste might be different though.. Just let me know how it goes. Again, my apologies.

Is there any alternative to using peanuts? My girlfriend has an allergy to them. Thanks.

Kare Kare is a dish that I just can’t have enough of especially with a well prepared Bagoong AKA cooked shrimp paste. This food always brings back lots of youth’s memories in Manila when Mom used to cook the dish for us. I love the way the food was styled and photographed. Thank you for the post. More Success – Ray

One of the best I’ve tasted. The calamansi adds to its distinct yet flavorful taste to the kare kare. To those who are having second thoughts about adding calamansi to the dish, I would suggest that you give it a try. You won’t regret it.

The calamansi does sound odd because it is not traditional. But in Pampanga, kare-kare is eaten with green mangoes and bagoong. In that sense a sour fruit, citrus or not, seem perfect with the dish. The sourness counteracts the blandness of the peanut sauce. Those who say they don’t like kare-kare should try it with the calamansi or green mango.
