Kaldereta is a Filipino dish served as dish viand during lunch or dinner. Kaldereta can be pork kaldereta, beef kaldereta, chicken kaldereta and fish kaldereta combined with peanut butter and different spices. But my favorite among the four is pork kaldereta especially pork ribs kaldereta. In all occasions in the Philippines like barrio fiesta, Christmas, Birthdays, Baptismal and simple family gatherings, kaldereta is always present at the buffet table. What's so special about kaldereta is it's extra-ordinary delicious taste which is a combination of sweetness from peanut butter and spicy taste from its flavors. My family love this recipe so much that's why it's one of my special recipe during Sunday when every family member is present at home.
