This dish always gets raves at home!
It's a great dish for guests too who have not eaten filipino food. My in laws like it with steamed rice while my family prefers it over potatoes and green beans.
You can also add peas in the last 1/2 hour of cooking.
I sometimes prefer to thicken the sauce with a little cornstarch but it isn't necessary.
Caldereta can also be served with lamb, chicken, or even goat meat. And for you hunters out there - I've often wandered if elk would not be tasty in this type of sauce.
