Kalderetang Baka with Beer is a dish traditionally made of stewed goat meat with vegetables and a liver paste. But most people prefer to cook meat alternatives like beef, chicken and pork, because it is more accessible in the market.

Caldereta vegetables normally include onions, garlic, tomatoes, potatoes, carrots, bell peppers and chili peppers; Kaldereta usually includes tomato sauce. The addition of beer however is just another twist you must try.

If you are still wondering, Caldereta’s name came from the Spanish word caldera meaning cauldron. The recipe is similar to meat stews from the Iberian peninsula and was adapted by Filipinos from the spaniards during their 300-year colonization.

Nowadays, Kaldereta is a favorite dish at special occasions, parties, and festivities in the Philippines.
