Pork Caldereta (Kalderetang Baboy)

July 14, 2015 by Manny 7 Comments

This version of kaldereta is the pork version of the well known beef kaldereta. Although there are many kind of kaldereta in Filipino cuisine that make use of goat meat, duck or chicken meat. This is a Filipino tomato based stew which you can use either tomato sauce, tomato paste or fresh tomatoes. Cooking this this involves sauteing the pork with garlic, onions and tomatoes until the meat is brown. So why still use fresh tomatoes since we are already using tomato sauce? This will add more flavor to the meat since you are also browning it first. As much as possible don’t omit the green olives since it gives a distinct sour flavor to the dish. But since they are expensive, you can use pickles as an alternative. Liver spread is essential because it will not be a kaldereta dish without the liver spread. But if you really can’t find liver spread, as an alternative, and I think it is better, is broiling a piece of pork liver and chop it finely.

    Just tried this, but used 1.5 kg pork so adjusted some of the ingredients to taste, and used a whole can of Reno liver spread (because I LOVE liver spread). The result was fantastic! Thanks so much for posting this recipe. Will make again.
