- Return the meat, add the tomato sauce, bay leaf and enough water to cover, then cover and simmer gently for 1 hour.
- Add the carrots and potatoes cut into chunks, along with the chopped liver, and continue cooking for 20 minutes.
- Stir in the bell pepper and chillies, then the melted cheese, stirring until smooth and creamy, and simmer for another 5 minutes before serving.
Variations and tips
Goat version. Replace the beef with 600 g of goat, traditional in the original kaldereta, and cook for 1 hour 30 minutes.
Quick version. Use a pressure cooker: the meat cooks for 25 minutes under pressure before adding the vegetables.
