Special Lamb Kalderata

Special Lamb Kalderata. This is one of my special version of kaldereta. Lamb is always available in most Australian supermarkets. Most Pinoy here usually cook lamb fried or grilled on the barbeque. But today I chose to cook lamb to kaldereta, Lamb Kalderata is as good as goat kaldereta if cooked right. I usually marinate the lamb or goat meat with vinegar to remove or reduced the gamey aroma of the meat.

However be careful with the use of vinegar you do not want a sourly kalderata, remember to drain properly the vinegar marinade before searing the lamb.

Here is the recipe of my Special Lamb Kalderata.

Ingredients:

1 kilo lamb meat cut to serving pieces
1 big can Reno liver spread
1/2 cup sliced Spanish chorizo
2 pcs. medium sized red and green bell pepper, deseeded, cut into strips
2-3 medium size potato, peeled, cut into small wedges
1 medium size carrot, peeled, cut into small wedges
1 cup pitted green olives
2 large size onion, chopped
1/2 head large size garlic, chopped
3 pcs. whole sweet gherkins, sliced crosswise
1/3 cup sweet pickled relish
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp. smooth peanut butter
1 cup tomato sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup vinegar
2-3 tbsp. margarine or butter
3-5 pcs. bay leaf
1-3 tbsp. chili flakes
1 tbsp. ground pepper peppercorns

Cooking procedure:

Marinate the lamb with the vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, a dash of salt and pepper for 5 to 10 minutes. Drain marinade and fry the lamb until color changes to light brown and seared in batches, keep aside.
