Commonly served with beef, pork or goat, Kaldereta is a rustic, family-style stew that’s always a crowd favourite.
But instead of serving this stew with meat, make meatballs instead to put a new spin on this traditional dish. Bring out the hearty flavours of your stew with Knorr Beef Broth Base and give your meatballs a beefier taste with Knorr Beef Seasoning Powder.
Chef Tips and Techniques
- The ground meat in the recipe can be replaced with ground chicken for a healthier option, or ground lamb to make a more premium dish.
- For advance preparation, meatballs can be fried ahead of time, then freeze to store. Reheat the meatballs by simmering them with the sauce until they are warm all the way through.
