Pork Kaldereta – 3rd Pinoy Food Recipe

When speaking about Kaldereta, the first Pinoy food dish that comes on my mind is the Beef Kaldereta. Maybe because it is the mostly common recipe that Filipinos are cooking. This Pinoy food recipe Beef Kaldereta is always on our weekly menu. And maybe it is in yours too. However there’s another way to twist the menu. Instead of using beef as the main ingredient of the menu, use pork. It could be a lot better if you just cook it the right way. Here in the Philippines, pork is cheaper than beef. That’s why sometimes you need to do have some alternatives to budget your weekly budget. Below is the recipe for the Pinoy food Pork Kaldereta.
