Calderetang baboy is the pork version of the famous Filipino Caldereta dish. Although the dish is usually cooked using beef as the main protein ingredient, we should not be limited by it. This pork version is as good as its beef counterpart. Chicken meat, whether bone-in or boneless, can also be used using this recipe if desired.

Calderetang Baboy

I consider this as a basic recipe for pork caldereta. It has the minimum ingredients that will enable you to complete the dish. The main sources of flavors are pork and liver spread. This means that the seasonings (salt and pepper) will play an important role to enhance the overall flavor of the dish. When you watch the video below, you will notice that I emphasized adding more salt to bring-out the flavor from the meat. Make sure to take it easy on it though as we do not want our dish to be very salty.

The secret to a successful Calderetang Baboy has something to do with both flavor and texture. I already talked about how to provide flavor to the dish. The texture part has something to do with the pork and vegetables. The pork should be very tender. The vegetables should not be overcooked to the point that it gets mushy.

Calderetang Baboy Recipe

I know people who like their calderata spicy. This can easily be done by adding 3 to 5 pieces of chopped chili pepper. You can do this after adding the tomato sauce. This will enable the capsaicin (compound from peppers that provides heat) from the chili to blend well with the sauce for that optimal level of heat.
