Thanks for the recipe, Marketman! This definitely looks yummy. I’ll be cooking this for my Mom and Dad’s anniversary this sunday.

FYI
“mechado” is for beef and “caldereta” is for goat meat..\:D/

Madel, as easy as it looks, I would never try a new recipe on guests unless you a super confident cook… meats and other ingredients, the heat of your stove, etc. all could affect the outcome of your dish. But I hope it works for you the first time around… there are over 400+ recipes in the archives of this blog, including many filipino ones, so please browse into the archives when you seek a recipe…

Hey, MM! I tried this with French fried potatoes, the store-bought kind. Adds a nice touch because of the different texture, and also hubby has an aversion to boiled potatoes for some reason.

Yuuuuummmeee mechado recipe, and I will definitely use this again.

Does anyone add or ever heard of whole boiled eggs being added to mechado? I came across this interesting addition many Christmases ago. With or without the eggs, though, the mechado was excellent, it was the heartiest, richest mechado that I had ever tasted. The lady who cooked this also made the best spaghetti bolognese I had ever tasted, as well. I came to know this lady through my ex and only got to enjoy her culinary masterpieces once a year at her Christmas get-together. Sadly, when my boyfriend and I broke up, I lost access to the best bolognese sauce and mechado that I had ever had. Marketman, I will definitely try your mechado recipe. Do you have a super-rich bolognese sauce recipe you could share? Last but not least, people look at me funny when I rave about a box of puto-flan that a friend brought back from the Philippines. I hope that someone else out there has tried them. Hopefully, they’re available here in the U.S. Thanks and peace….

Thank you! I will try this soon, though we eat more chicken. So I’m guessing this is similar to afritada chicken.
