CALDERETA

A recipe requested by my dear brother...

Ingredients:

1 kg BEEF or PORK or CHICKEN or GOAT meat - cubed, the best would be the rib portion
1 pc carrot, sliced
5 pcs potato, divided into at leat 4
5 pcs pickles, 1/2" thick, slice if necessary
1 can dry peas, do not include the water
1 small can pineapple chunk
1/2 box cheese - cubed (1/2 X 1/2")
2 tablespoon peanut butter
1/2 small can evaporated milk
1/2 small can tomato paste
1 pc onion, sliced
2 pcs bell pepper, sliced
1 teaspoon sugar
salt
MSG (optional)

Procedure:

Mama's style would be to fry first the meat but I omit this to get rid of oil.

Put cubed meat in casserole, add water enough to cover the meat. Heat to first boiling. Pour out the broth (this removes the "anghit" and other fats/oil).

Add water so that the meat is about one half of the volume. Heat to boiling then lower the flame to simmer and cook until tender. (Rushing this would make the meat harder to tenderize - "mokubol")

In another casserole, boil potato until tender (You can do this ahead of time, do not overcook. This is done separately so that the meat will not be overcooked upon addition of potato.)

When meat is tender enough, add the carrots, onion and bell pepper. Cover and wait for at least a minute.

Add peanut butter, tomato paste, sugar and evaporated milk. Stir to mix well.

Add potato, pineapple chunk, pickles, cheese and dry peas. Mix well.

Add salt to taste, probably about 1-2 teaspoon. Additional sugar may be added if desired. Add MSG if desired.

Serve hot.


There you go Bro...
