MANILA, Philippines —Most Filipino consolation meals are slow-cooked to steadily carry out the pure flavors of the substances used and in addition to induce the pure breakdown of meats to fall-off-the-bone tenderness.
One such consolation meals, Beef Caldereta, or Kalderetang Baka, is cooked precisely this fashion, thus leading to a dish so tender and flavorful it melts within the mouth.
Chef Jam Melchor’s model stays loyal to the basic Filipino consolation meals. He included it in his not too long ago launched e-book titled “Kayumanggi: A Kaleidoscope of Filipino Flavors and Meals Traditions.”
