Although this Filipino Adobo sauce comes in a jar, it certainly doesn’t taste that way. Fila Manila Adobo is slow-simmered and packed with puckery and intense flavor from tamari, coconut vinegar, garlic, bay leaves and peppercorns. It is sweetened with dates, rather than sugar, to add balance, and has amazing umami and depth of tanginess. Chicken Adobo is a hugely popular Filipino dish that can now be made authentically and quickly at home with this time-saving shortcut, but we also like to use this versatile sauce as a marinade, braise or dipping sauce with pork, meat, or hearty vegetables.

Kare Kare is a peanut-based Filipino stew traditionally made with beef or oxtail. Fila Manila makes it easy to create this authentic Filipino dish at home in combination with chicken, beef, pork, vegetables or your favorite plant protein. This peanut simmer sauce gets its depth of flavor from coconut vinegar, date nectar, garlic and onions. Try this versatile sauce with a satay or as part of a salad dressing, as there is a good amount of acid in it that counters the sweet nuttiness of the peanuts. We also love that it’s preservative-free.

Caldereta is a traditional Filipino hearty tomato-based stew made with a variety of different meats. We like how this slow-simmered Calderata stew base from Fila Manila pairs with different meats, chicken and also with vegetables, such as cauliflower or root vegetables. Packed with tomatoes, red peppers, coconut vinegar, garlic, onion and a pinch of chili flakes, the combination lends depth to whatever is being added to it. This flavorful and preservative-free base provides for a quick, authentic Filipino dish that can easily be prepared at home by simmering with chicken, beef or your favorite plant protein.
