Caldereta is a traditional Filipino hearty tomato-based stew made with a variety of different meats. We like how this slow-simmered Calderata stew base from Fila Manila pairs with different meats, chicken and also with vegetables, such as cauliflower or root vegetables. Packed with tomatoes, red peppers, coconut vinegar, garlic, onion and a pinch of chili flakes, the combination lends depth to whatever is being added to it. This flavorful and preservative-free base provides for a quick, authentic Filipino dish that can easily be prepared at home by simmering with chicken, beef or your favorite plant protein.
We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.
To use, simply add 1 to 3 pounds of beef, chicken, pork, tofu, plant based meat product or just vegetables and stew until tender. Serve with rice.
