Kalderetang Batangas

Kalderetang Batangas is a type of Kaldereta a Filipino Style Beef Stew where beef is usually simmered in tomato sauce, this type of kaldereta does not but instead it is cooked in a normal beef stock with liver spread, cheese, peanut butter and pickle relish.

Like Sinigang and Adobo our dish today can be prepared in many different ways and ingredients depends on which region the dish is prepared in the Philippines. Kaldereta, a very popular beef stew the is spicy hot and usually simmered in tomato sauce but in Batangas they do it quite differently. This Kaldereta is perhaps the most luxurious of all versions, the regular version of this dish alone is not the ones we eat in the Philippines on a daily basis and only on special occasions as beef is quite expensive there, imagine adding pickles, cheese, Worcestershire sauce, peanut butter and liver spread then it is something truly special.

I guess many know that Philippines is not a rich country so cooking this at home will extend the normal family’s budget hence you see these only on Fiestas or special occasions back home. Another reason why this is not served on a regular basis because beef there is tough so it needs to be cooked for several hours. The Batanguenos version is not different, special ingredients are just added to make it even more amazing. I know cheese, pickles, peanut butter and liver spread does not make sense but in this stew this combination is epic!
