Caldereta is a traditional Filipino stew, typically made with beef, although other meats like pork, chicken, or goat can also be used. It’s a rich and hearty dish, usually cooked with a variety of vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, and olives. The sauce is often tomato-based, flavored with ingredients like soy sauce, liver spread, and sometimes peanut butter for added creaminess. Caldereta is typically seasoned with garlic, onions, and bay leaves, and sometimes a bit of chili for heat. It's a popular dish for special occasions or family gatherings in the Philippines.
