Kalderetang Kambing -1 of very delicious stew

A stew made with goat meat is called caldereta or kaldereta in the Philippines. Beef, chicken, or hog are used in the dish’s variations.

Typically, liver paste and vegetables are added to stewed goat meat. The following are examples of vegetables: bell peppers, potatoes, olives, tomatoes, and hot peppers. Tomato sauce is occasionally added to kaldereta.

The name Caldereta comes from the Spanish word caldera, which means cauldron. The meal, which the Spaniards introduced to the Philippines during their 300-year occupation, is reminiscent of meat stews from the Iberian Peninsula.

The fact that it uses tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, and bell peppers as its ingredients give it another similarity to afritada and mechado.

At celebrations, gatherings, and other events, kaldereta is offered.

Kalderetang Kambing is a substantial, tomato-based stew with goat meat, potatoes, and carrots. This traditional Filipino cuisine is sure to please at any special occasion or dinner party. As an appetizer with alcoholic beverages or as a main course with steamed rice!

Kalderetang Kambing is a Central and Northern Luzon specialty. It’s created with adult goat meat (chevon) cooked with potatoes, carrots, olives, and bell peppers in a spicy tomato sauce with liver paste.

How to prepare goat meat

Soak the meat in vinegar for 10 minutes to eliminate the gamey flavor and shorten the cooking time. But don’t marinate the meat for too long because vinegar is a strong acid that can dry it out and make it tough.

Aside from marinating it in vinegar, you can remove the odor from goat meat by boiling it in pandan leaves.
You can alternatively soak the goat meat for 1 to 2 hours in buttermilk or milk. It works in the same way as vinegar.

Cooking time is determined by the age of the goat; the older the goat, the longer it cooks. The skin should be soft and gelatinous yet still hard when it is finished.

Cooking Tips

To assist the potatoes and carrots retain their shape in the stew and not fall apart, fry them before adding them to the stew.

Serving suggestions

Kalderetang Kambing goes well with steamed rice as a main course for lunch or dinner. It’s also a wonderful appetizer with a cool beer.
It’s ideal for celebrations, parties, and other special occasions.
