Caldereta is a flavorful and hearty Filipino stew traditionally made with tender cuts of beef, pork, or goat, simmered in a tomato-based sauce. Ingredients often include potatoes, carrots, bell peppers, olives, and liver spread or cheese, which add richness and depth to the dish. Originating from Spanish culinary influences, Caldereta is a staple in festive Filipino gatherings and is known for its spicy and savory notes. While its protein content makes it a good source of iron and amino acids, the dish can be high in fat, especially when cheese or liver spread is added. Vegetables in Caldereta provide essential vitamins and fiber, promoting digestion and overall health. To make it a healthier option, you can reduce oil, opt for leaner meat, or increase the vegetable ratio. Despite its indulgent nature, Caldereta remains a comforting dish that reflects the rich culinary heritage of the Philippines.
