Notes
- Bell pepper: I highly recommend using capsicum for this recipe as it provides a sweet and delightful flavor to the dish. You may use just once color depending on your preference.
- Liver spread: Caldereta versions in the Philippines vary per region. This version represent the most commonly made in Metro Manila. If liver spread is not available, feel free to use liver pate. You can also use peanut butter as an alternative. This will then represent a version from another region.
- Cheese: I like using Filipino cheese for this recipe. It can be as sharp as extra sharp cheddar although it can melt quickly (which is the reason why I use it). Veleeta (original) is somewhat similar to it.
- Lime: Use either lime (1 piece), or 2 pieces of calamansi (calamondin), or a quarter piece of lemon.
