Caldereta is a Filipino dish that is made of meat, tomato sauce, and vegetables. It is inspired by the Spanish dish Caldera meaning cauldron.

Traditionally, Caldereta is composed of goat’s meat, tomatoes, water, and spices. Then, it will be boiled until the soup thickens. However, as the years go by, natives of each region added some kicks to the original recipe and changed the protein because of the meat and vegetable availability.

As the palate of Filipinos change, Caldereta became a common tomato dish that varies from region to region. Now, it’s sweet and instead of soup, it has a rich and flavorful sauce.
