BEEF CALDERETA
This is a yummy recipe, a fusion of tomato sauce, liver pate, cheese and chunks of beef. This is a rich gourmet recipe from Batangas but instead of beef, they use goat's meat. It is more flavorful when beef is used, though. This recipe is so good, you can use any meat to cook it though preparation may vary. You may use lamb chops, chicken, and pork. Good for parties or weekend special meals. Taste goods even as leftovers!
