For this month’s Kulinarya challenge our host’s Oggie of I can do that, Chef Teodore of Chef by Day, Boyet of Real and Grill and Ray of Wok with Ray asked the group to prepare something patriotic – use the colors of our Philippine Flag.
Blue! I for the love of Pinoy food can’t think of anything blue.
I’ve been meaning to cook Kaldereta using pork, you can also use Chicken, Beef or Lamb. So while cutting the veggies I realized that I had all the colors required for the challenge except for blue. Little V approached me and ask if he can help me cook, I told him to help mama look for something blue that we can eat…he gave me his blue fork.
I told V that we can’t eat fork he just replied – “Mama, fork help us eat”

Kulinarya was started by a group of Filipino foodies living in Sydney, who are passionate about the Filipino culture and its colourful cuisine. Each month we will showcase a new dish along with their family recipes. By sharing these recipes, we hope you find the same passion and love for Filipino Food as we do.

what a clever kid! happy to be cooking with you in this month’s challenge 🙂
i love the simplicity of your method and the addition of peanut butter is awesome!
same here 😉
The suggestion of adding peanut butter came from a friend and I never looked back.
i always like kaldereta….beef or pork…..yours has the consistency i prefer…love it!
Thanks! I think the addition of peanut butter helped to get that saucy/oily consistency.
Kaldereta eaten with a blue fork, of course! Aw, your boy is so cute to say that Abigail. Time to make kaldereta again.
Thanks for putting everyone’s links, I’m glad I was able to make this month’s challenge. Hope to see you on the next one.
I almost gave up on this challenge. Thanks to little V’s help.

What a smart kid you have there! And my, your version of Pork Kaldereta looks stunning! I must say that I like cooking kaldereta using pork…it’s a lot cheaper and cooks faster than beef!
Pork meat here is darn hard parang beef na din and not as tasty as we get back home. Using lamb or mutton here is much cheaper.
There are days when I like using pork than beef when cooking kaldareta. Way to go little V.. smart move to get all the colors of the flag together hahah.. btw, I think you forgot one of the sponsors for this month’s KCC theme. Baka magalit sa yo hahah.. It’s Ray of Cooking with Ray. I think he played a big role in coming up with the theme so his name deserves to be up there… just a friendly reminder!
Malou
I almost gave up with the blue thing..I’m such a cheater using the fork.
A nice and wise touch from little V. Delicious looking kaldereta.
Thanks! Kid’s gives us such simple answers that we tend to overlook.
Hello… It’s me again… ako naman ang nagkamali, it’s Ray pala of Wok with Ray not cooking with Ray.. sorry my mistake!
Salamat for pointing out my mistake. Hanap ako ng hanap ng cooking with Ray hehehe. I have to search my inbox to confirm.
I love Kaldereta!!!
Same here. I do think it’s a healthy meal because of the veggies 🙂 and a little cheat with the pork fat
That color blue is pretty darn hard, right?! Thank goodness for blue plates and blue forks! They help us eat! 🙂 Love it!
Naku sinabi mo pa! I had sleepless nights thinking of what to prepare for this challenge.
I just had corned beef caldereta yesterday and would love to try it with pork. The blue fork is cute.:)
V- matalino na bata!!!! I would like to try the POrk Kaldereta- i always use beef. Thanks Abigail!
