Receta Caldereta Nueva
Like Adobo, Caldereta can be prepared in many ways depending on where you are in the Philippines, the ingredients adjust from province to province where these subtle changes make a big difference in the final outcome of the dish. Today we will be making a different variation of this dish that is called Caldereta Nueva, I am not sure if it is from Nueva Ecija or the Nueva in the dish means a new way of preparing it but what I know is that this is the best Calderata I tried to date. So, what makes it special? Unlike the usual Caldereta where the flavour relies on tomatoes this one uses peanut butter and coconut milk in addition to the usual Calderata ingredients making it creamy and nutty delicious, it’s like a combination of three dishes merged into one, the Caldereta, Beef Curry and Kare Kare.
