Kaldereta

Filipino beef stew in tomato-liver sauce

Kaldereta is a festive Filipino braise served at celebrations and fiestas. Its name goes back to the Spanish “caldereta” and the colonial era.

Beef braises in a rich tomato sauce thickened with liver spread; bell pepper, olives and cheese give the stew its special depth.
