Beef Meatballs Kaldereta

Beef Meatballs Kaldereta is another innovative dish that I want to share. It is made up of regular beef meatballs cooked Pinoy kaldereta style with button mushrooms, baby potatoes, egg and flavoured with Spanish chorizo and liver spread. This is fairly easy recipe and it’s a good alternative way of cooking meatballs that are usually available in most supermarkets. For my version I used some special kaldereta ingredients, however should you prefer you kalderata version or some of the ingredients are not available then go ahead use your own cooking method of kaldereta all that is needed is substitute the regular meat with meatballs. Here is the recipe of my Beef Meatballs Kaldereta, enjoy.
