Calderetang Baboy with Sweet Potatoes

WFH life making me more domesticated.

Forced to learn more recipes if it means less takeout (and less sodium, grease and cholesterol inducing foods). Gained 3 KG since the quarantine started --- IIII kennnnatttt T_T

Looked up what caldereta means and it's:

Caldereta, in google translate from spanish meant stew

in Filipino, it was derived from the word caldera or cauldron or kaldero [vessel] where stews are cooked.

Caldereta or Kaldereta is generally a Filipino dish made of beef [or goat or pork], liver spread, bell peppers in a tomato based sauce. When I searched it on Youtube, they usually use tomato sauce or paste but with this recipe, I won't be using both.

INGREDIENTS:

2 carrots, diced
2 Vietnamese sweet potatoes, diced [looked like purple yams but it's really not]
1 yellow capsicum, strips
1 onion, sliced
1 garlic, minced
1 Mama Sita's Kaldereta mix (spicy)
1 Reno liver spread
Olive oil
pork, diced
2 tomatoes, diced
1 cup of water
1 beef cube

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Fry diced carrots and sweet potatoes in olive oil for at least 10 minutes.
2. In another pot, saute onions and garlic for a few minutes then add the pork.
3. Add tomatoes, saute and cover. Add water and beef cube then let it cook until meat is tender.
4. Once meat is thoroughly cooked, add liver spread and kaldereta mix. Stir until everything is coated nicely.
5. Add the cooked carrots and sweet potatoes.
6. Add capsicum strips to sweeten the stew,
7. Let it cook for a few minutes more, then serve hot with rice.

No additional seasoning needed because of the spread and mix :) Mama Sita's you a lifesaver!


Have fun and enjoy the weekend!
