http://www.filipinofoodrecipes.net/kaldereta.htm

Estimated cooking time: 1 1/2 to 2 hours

Ingredients:
  • 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
  • 3 green peppers, diced
  • 3 red peppers, diced
  • 4 pieces hot chilli peppers, minced
  • 3/4 cup grated cheese
  • 2 cups beef stock or water
  • 1/4 cup cooking or olive oil
Instructions:
  • In a casserole, sauté: garlic and onions in oil. Then add tomatoes, red & green pepper and chilli peppers.
  • Add in the beef, tomato sauce, liver spread and water or stock. Salt to taste and let simmer for at least 1 hour or until the beef is tender.
  • Add cheese and olives (optional) and continue to simmer until the sauce thickens.
  • Serve with plain rice
Cooking Tips:
  • 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.
