We recently partnered with Chef Carlo Lamagna of Magna – here in Portland, Oregon – to bring you a classic Filipino slow-cook stew, just in time for the winter months. Cooked and served in our 5 Qt. Dutch Oven, his recipe brings this time-honored Filipino comfort food to your table.
Traditionally, the Kare-kare dish was designed to go from the fire or stove to the table – perfect for our Dutch Oven, with it’s Speed-Cool spring handles and visually striking design.
