In our last episode for Crossing Borders, Abi Marquez is putting on her thinking hat and exploring the delicious history of Kare-Kare, a beloved Filipino peanut stew. We’re covering the similarities of preparing this Pinoy delicacy with Indian cuisine, as we unravel its cultural significance in today’s kitchens. Abi is in Pampanga to chat with food expert, Ruston Banal, and have a fun Kare-Kare cooking session with restaurant owner, Katrina Roque.
But the journey doesn’t stop there! Abi also ventures into the realm of Indian cuisine, where she learns the secrets of Mutton Salna from Chef Rohit Bisht. Stay with us until the end to get a glimpse of Abi’s original Filipino Indian dish recipe!
