Ingredients

• 2 lbs goat meat
• 0.25 cup white vinegar
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp cooking oil
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 0.25 cup liver spread
• 2 cups water
• 1 large red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 large green bell pepper, sliced
• 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
• 0.5 cup green olives
• 2 bay leaves
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp salt

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the goat meat, white vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well and let it marinate for 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly and drain.

Step 2

Heat 3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant and lightly golden, then add the chopped onions and cook until translucent.

Step 3

Add the marinated goat meat to the pot and cook until it is browned on all sides.

Step 4

Pour in the tomato sauce and stir to coat the meat evenly. Add the liver spread and mix well.

Step 5

Pour in the water and add the bay leaves. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 90 minutes, or until the meat is tender. Stir occasionally and add more water if necessary to prevent drying out.

Step 6

Once the goat meat is tender, add the cubed potatoes, sliced carrots, and green olives. Simmer for another 15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.

Step 7

Add the sliced red and green bell peppers, then season with ground black pepper, sugar, and additional salt to taste. Cook for 5 more minutes until the bell peppers are slightly tender but still vibrant.

Step 8

Turn off the heat and serve the Goat Caldereta hot with steamed rice.
