Kalderetang Kambing is stewed goat meat in spicy tomato and liver sauce. Kaldereta or caldereta is also a method of cooking which means to stew meat in a large cauldron (caldera in Spanish) or pot.  The dish is believed to have originated from Ilocos, a province in the Northern Philippines where dishes made with goat (kalding in Ilocano dialect) meat  are widely prepared.

Cook time about two and a half hours. You can speed up cook time by cooking the mushrooms and onions in a pan prior to putting them in the sauce. This sauce is not a sweet sauce. I make alot so i can freeze the rest being a basball mom i need stuff to just thaw and heat up. Even better the second day.

I'm using this sauce for my almost everyday cooking. Making couple of bottles, stored in freezer and defrost when I need it.

I asked my mother-in-law for her tomato sauce recipe only to find out that she doesn't really have one. I watched her make the sauce and saw that she doesn't use meauring cups or spoons. So I made notes as best I could, but it never tastes quite the same. My husband likes the sauce, so I guess it gets a pass! You can also make meat sauce by adding 0.5 kg cooked lean ground beef.

I make this non veg pasta in meat and sometimes using chicken .. my mom loves it :)

Hello everyone…hoping the weekend was a good one. It’s Monday, the beginning of a new week and hopefully a good one for everybody. This weekend was quite warm. sunny and just lovely to be outside. When I mean outside I just sat in the garden and caught up on some reading material on food blogging of course, and some other things that I needed to catch up on. I did a bit of gardening 🙂 and I just wanted to thank Luda from Plants and Beyond, for her advise in regards to adding coffee grinds into my small garden it was spot on! 🙂 All my herbs and salads flourished these past weeks, and we were able to have home grown lettuce in our salads!! hooraayyyy 🙂 Just fantastic!! I also planted Broccoli, this has become huge I am not sure if my little garden will be able to hold it. 🙂This is a Greek dish…with ingredients that I am hoping would exist in everyones fridge. I know that Carrots and Peas may not be the first choice for lunch or dinner, but if you add tomatoes and a bit of tomato paste well I am sure you will be going back for more. 🙂 It is truly a very simple recipe just a few steps and you’ve got a delicious and healthy meal for lunch or dinner or even a side dish.. 🙂

A healthy appetizer or side dish made of green beans, onions and garlic cloves that are cooked in tomato sauce. It is served cold with pita bread.

I had the best Spaghetti Bolognese of my life in Murano, Italy. This recipe from 'FoodNouveau' is the closest thing to pasta perfection that can be had on this continent.

Just when I need a classic easy and fast way to make spaghetti and meatballs, here I have it ! ☺️

I'm pretty sure that my ability to cook is one of the keys to my marriage. In fact, I'm not 100% certain my wife would've agreed to marry me if it weren't for my passion for food and cooking. Still, that doesn't mean she doesn't occasionally have her doubts. Like when I told her I was going to make meatballs with tomato and coconut sauce for dinner. At first she assumed it'd be a curry, and when I told her it wouldn't be she simply said "it sounds a little weird." Fortunately the dish worked out (pretty brilliantly, actually), and both she and our daughter are believers once again.

Pretty nice meatballs; leftovers can be frozen; use salt reduced paste and stock, and do not add extra salt to the sauce, or else it might be a bit too salty. (Pic has capsicum instead of celery, this recipe is great for substituting veggies)

Simmer beef slices to create a sauce that pairs well with pasta or rice. This time, I've mixed it with macaroni for added volume.The origin of this recipe: I created a sauce by slowly cooking beef slices in tomato sauce, which goes well with both pasta and rice. Whole mushrooms are the key ingredient.
