Kaldereta or caldereta is a meat stew from the Philippines. Variations of the dish use beef, chicken, pork, or goat. Commonly, the meat is stewed with vegetables and liver paste and spiced with red chillies. The vegetables may include tomatoes, potatoes, olives, bell peppers, and hot peppers. Kaldereta sometimes includes tomato sauce. It is a common, everyday dish in the Philippines that is also served during festivities and special occasions.
The name kaldereta or caldereta is derived from the Spanish caldera, the original Spanish dish the Filipino version comes directly from. The caldereta tradition in the Iberian Peninsula is prepared in two variations, fish and goat, so the Filipino version probably emerged from recreating the original recipe using local ingredients.
