The Calderetang Baka recipe is one of the most popular Filipino dishes. Caldereta is a flavorful tomato-based beef stew. The majority of Caldereata meals are made using beef, goat meat, pork, or chicken. In this recipe, we use beef ribs, which are an excellent choice of meat for the caldereta meal. When the beef ribs are cooked for a longer period of time, the bony sections add extra flavor to the meal. This meal is almost always offered and is featured at many gatherings in the Philippines because of its natural, yummy taste and rich flavor. This may also be served in normal meals, and it is a favorite of many. If you want to try this recipe, please follow the easy instructions below to learn how to make short rib calderetang baka.

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce with Ground Beef is a family favorite, and since then, we have loved to eat pasta. This recipe is perfectly made with a nicely thick spaghetti sauce; it is meaty, saucy, and delicious. Simmering is the key to thickening the sauce. If you simmer the sauce for a few more minutes, the amount of liquid will reduce, and the sauce will become thicker and more flavorful.

Sikwate, or Chocolate de Batirol, is a Filipino hot chocolate made from cacao (cocoa). In some parts of Mindanao and Visayas, like Cebu, we called it sikwa'te ("sik-wah-teh"). This is also known as tsokolate de batirol since a special tool called a batirol, a wooden instrument, is used to refine the texture of the tsokolate.
The main ingredient in it is tableya. To make it, it's a must to use a Filipino tablea, a pure cacao disc of raw chocolate. Tablea, or tableya, is made from cocoa beans, also known as cacao. The cocoa beans are dried, roasted, and milled, then traditionally hand-formed into small balls and flattened to form tablets. In the modern era, molders are used to make a uniform shape of tableya. Nowadays, pure tablya is semi-hard to find. Some commercial tableya we bought from the store is mixed in with some ingredients, like sugar and milk, resulting in a smooth, delicious cup of hot chocolate. But the taste is slightly different from the pure one.
For me, I prefer to use pure tablea in making hot chocolate so that I can control the sweetness of the drinks. Making hot chocolate is very easy. Just boil the tableya disc, stirring occasionally, until it completely dissolves (a batirol, if available, is better). Adding sugar and milk will result in a sweet, smooth hot chocolate drink, just adjust the desired sweetness. It is best paired with pandesal or any bread of your choice and rice puto (called "puto sikwa'te" in some parts of Leyte).
