Today, my older daughter has no work, so she came for lunch. I thought I would whip up something that she would like. I decided to cook "caldereta" (beef stew with pineapple).
First I fried the potatoes and set them aside.
Then I browned the Pamplona chorizo in a few drops of canola oil, and sautéed the garlic and onions.
The pineapple juice ( together with the pine tidbits)-marinated beef with soy, lemon juice, pepper and some herbs and spices were mixed in next.
After about 2 hours, and the beef was tender, I added the olives, frozen green peas and tomato paste. I made sure the beef was fully coated with tomato paste.
carrots, bell pepper and potatoes were added last.
I like the sauce a little bit thick, so I dissolved a tablespoon of corn starch in half a cup of water.
When it boiled, it was time to taste
I found I needed more pepper, fish sauce and a dash of salt.
And the dish was done!
But oops! We need more veggies, so I sautéed garlic, onions, shrimps and pork bouillon in another pan.
Followed by the cut beans left over from my spring roll yesterday.
Some pepper, then I tasted and it turned out the way I like it.
Just as my maid was setting the table, I heard the gate open and my daughter came in.
We had a good lunch!
