If you want to add a Thai/Jamacian flavor, just add 1 can lite coconut milk and green curry paste (to taste). I also cooked this is my crock pot.

I loved it. Admittedly it is goat and that is not everyone's cup of tea but it is a really good dish if you don't mind the slightly unusual taste. I didn't add the potatoes or bell pepper. It was great with homemade gnocchi. The only problem is the peppercorns get stuck in the gnocchi. Next time they go into muslin bag!

delish...however, I altered the recipe a little..used apple cider vinegar, added some brocolli with the red pepper and two tablespoons of corn meal to thicken. definately a keeper.

I'd been looking for a good caldereta recipe and this is the closest from my cousin's Grandma's unforgettable caldereta. I added green peas, grated edam cheese and a small bird's eye chilli (labuyo) just out of whim and used beef too. Good job! Thanks for posting!
