CALDERETA GOAT STEW

Caldereta is also known as Goat Meat Stew or Kaldereta-de-Cabrito or Kaldereta Kambing is one of my very favorite goat recipes and the Philippines are famous for this.

Kaldereta Kambing is one of the meat dishes every Filipino has come to love and my wife who comes from Ilocos Norte makes it extra special for me.

Kalderetang Kambing is a signature meal from Central and Northern Luzon.
