How to Cook Pork Caldereta

This Pork Caldereta Recipe is a Spanish-Filipino stewed dish made of pork ribs marinated in a simple sweet pineapple and soy sauce base, cooked with carrots, potatoes, aromatics, and tomato paste, simmered till everything comes together and the pork is soft enough to pierce. These are then added with more flavorings like liver spread and pickles, ending with cheese for creaminess and texture.

Ingredients
1 kilo Pork Ribs
1/3 cup pineapple juice
3 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 can liver spread
1 large onion
4 cloves garlic
1 small carrot
2 medium potatoes
2 tablespoon tomato paste
2 tablespoon sweet pickles
1/2 cup cheese
salt to taste
oil for searing

Steps:

Clean and cut the pork ribs. Place these in a bowl and mix with pineapple juice, soy sauce, and black pepper.
In a pan with some oil, sear potatoes and carrots till light brown. Set aside before using the same pan to cook the ribs. Save the leftover marinade for later. Cook the ribs till both sides have browned with a slight char. Take it out and set aside.
With the leftover oil, saute garlic and onions until soft. Add in tomato paste and mix well before adding back the ribs. Mix till these are fully coated.
Add in the marinade and 2 – 3 cups of water. Cover and simmer for 40 to 45 minutes till the meat feels tender. This should be easily pierced with a fork to check if it’s tender enough.
Add in liver spread and pickles, mixing it well before adding the potatoes and carrots back. Then add in the cheese and bell peppers. Mix well.
Cover and let this simmer together for 5 – 8 minutes more at low heat. Add salt to taste. Optional, add in some red chilies. Giving it a good mix before serving.
