KALDERETA GOAT STEW

Kaldereta is also known as Goat Meat Stew or Kaldereta-de-Cabrito and is one of my very favorite goat recipes and the Philippines are famous for this. Make sure you try it when there.

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

Kalderetang-Kambing is a signature dish from the Central and Northern Luzon areas.
