This is one of my favorite dishes to cook. It may not look perfect to others, but I love it because of those tender beef pieces and creamy sauce. I don't use liver spread, though. No pork allowed in the house, remember? I use tomato sauce alone to make it creamy, then cheese and oyster sauce to make it taste yummy.
Well, let me tell you that I grew up in a province where there is a number of versions in cooking this dish. People usually cook caldereta with less vegetables there. Some of them cook the meat in vinegar, so it will be tenderized into perfection. Others use taro roots instead of potatoes. I have an uncle who uses bananas, so the taste of his caldereta is a little sweet. Still, almost all the rest use red chillies which make it extra hot and spicy.
How about you? How do you cook your caldereta?

I remember Caldereta is cooked in our province whenever there is a special occasion. It's not beef though, it's goat meat. They mix it with canned pork & beans.
Lots of love,
