Well, there are many different kind of Filipino food that you can prepare. If you really want it to be an authentic filipino cuisine, I suggest you cook kare-kare (Oxtails with Tripe). And here's the recipe and ingredients:





This is a traditional Filipino dish served on special occasions as well as family dinners. The oxtails and tripe are slowly simmered to tenderness before creating the delectable peanut sauce.





INGREDIENTS:





* 1/4 cup peanut oil


* 3 pounds oxtails


* 2 pounds beef tripe


* 1 yellow onion, peeled and sliced


* 3 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed


* 1 tomato, chopped


* 1-1/4 cups beef stock homemade or use canned


* 1-1/4 cups water


* Salt to taste


* 2 tablespoons annatto oil


* 3 tablespoons peanut butter mixed with 1/2 cup hot tap water


* Several shots of Tabasco, or more to taste





PREPARATION:


Heat a large frying pan and add 3 tablespoons of the peanut oil. Brown the oxtails well on both sides in 2 or 3 batches. Place them in a 6-quart heavy stove-top covered casserole.





While the oxtails are browning, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil and blanch the tripe.





Simply boil it for a few minutes, drain, and cool. Cut the tripe into strips 1/2 inch wide and 3 inches long. Add these to the oxtail pot.





Add the remaining peanut oil to the frying pan and saute the onion and garlic. Add to the oxtail pot along with the tomato, beef stock, water, salt, and annatto oil. Cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours. Simmer partially covered for another 1-1/2 hours, stirring now and then. At the beginning of the last hour of cooking, add the peanut butter mixture and the Tabasco. Taste and add more Tabasco and salt if needed. If all is not very tender, continue to cook a bit longer.





Serve with rice.











*** You can get the ingredients at any Filipino Supermarkets ***

Yes well, The national dish is chicken adobo which is different than mexican adobo! Here's the recipe! Hope it helps. It a nice thing to do for your mom!





Filipino Chicken Adobo





This recipe is for the Filipino Adobo, as opposed to the Mexican Adobo sauce. While the recipe calls for chicken, an equal amount of pork or combination of the two works perfectly.





2 1/2 lbs chicken pieces


3-4 cloves garlic, minced (I prefer to smash the cloves, which is more traditional)


1/3 cup white vinegar


1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns, cracked


1 bay leaf


1/3 cup soy sauce


3/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste (I leave this out))


vegetable oil or vegetable cooking spray (for sauteing)


3-4 medium potatoes, cut in 1 in. pieces (optional)


water (to cover)





5-6 servings





Combine all ingredients in a deep glass or stainless steel sauce pan.


Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to medium low.


Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes or until the meat is very tender.


Gently turn the meat occasionally during the course of cooking.


Remove the meat from the sauce and pan-fry in a little oil until browned on all sides.


Transfer to a serving platter or bowl and cover with sauce. Serve with warm steamed rice.


While the recipe says to saute the meat after it's cooked, I usually brown the meat before adding the remainder of the incredients. I have no idea what difference this makes, if any.
