Complete List of Recipes

Estimated cooking time: 1 to 2 hours

• 1 kilo beef, cut into chunks

• 1 big can (350g) liver spread or ground liver

• 5 onions, minced

• 5 cloves garlic, minced

• 6 tomatoes, sliced

• 1 cup tomato sauce

• 5 pieces of medium sized potatoes, quartered

• 3 green peppers, sliced or cut into squares

• 3 red peppers, sliced or cut into squares

• 4 pieces hot chilli peppers, minced

• 3/4 cup grated cheese (optional)

• 2 cups beef stock or water

• 1/4 cup cooking or olive oil (optional)

• In a casserole, sauté: garlic and onions in oil

• Then add tomatoes and water or stock, let simmer for 5 minutes

• Add in the beef, tomato sauce, liver spread. Salt to taste and let simmer for at least 1 hour or until the beef is tender.

• Instead of beef, goat's meat (kambing) can be used. If goat's meat is used, marinate the meat in vinegar, garlic, salt and pepper for at least 15 minutes.

• For a special kaldereta, do not use water or beef stock. Use an equivalent weight of onions to the beef (1 kg of onions : 1 kg of beef). The onions will serve as water to the dish.

Kaldereta, also known as caldereta, is a flavorful Filipino stew that boasts a rich history influenced by three centuries of Spanish colonization. Kaldereta traditionally features goat meat as the star ingredient, but variations use beef, chicken, or pork. The meat is stewed with a delightful mix of vegetables and liver paste (or liver spread). Common vegetables include tomatoes, potatoes, olives, bell peppers, and hot peppers. Some regions in the Philippines use peanut butter instead of liver spread, resulting in a unique twist. While some use Gata (coconut milk) a creamy version that adds coconut milk to the mix.
