Add a photoYep, you're reading that correctly: peanut butter and bulalo, a seemingly odd combination. But give it a try and you might just be surprised. Bulalo is the popular soup or stew dish in the Philippines that consists of beef shanks and selected vegetables, boiled in water and spices for hours until all the rich flavors of the meat bones seep into the liquid.
This recipe idea came to mind after a recent visit to the Philippines where I treated myself to traditional dishes including bulalo, and kare kare, another popular Filipino cuisine that uses peanut butter as sauce for a meat and vegetable stew.
You can choose to include as much of the beef shank meat as you'd like or minimize your recipe by just using the bones to generate the soup.
