Kambing Caldereta is a Filipino stew made with goat meat, potatoes, and carrots braised in a tomato and liver sauce. It's hearty, boldly-flavored, delicious as an appetizer with alcoholic drinks or a main dish with steamed rice.
In a large bowl, combine goat meat, vinegar, and 1 tablespoon salt. Marinate in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. Rinse and drain well.
In a pot over medium heat, bring to a boil enough water to cover the meat. Add goat meat and boil for about 7 to 10 minutes or until scum begins to rise. In a colander, drain well. Rinse the meat and the pot.
In the clean pot, combine goat meat, pineapple juice, 4 cups of water, and 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil, skimming scum that floats on top.
Lower heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until meat is tender but not falling apart. Using a colander, drain meat and reserve about 2 cups of the liquid.
In a wide pan over medium heat, heat oil. Add potatoes and cook until lightly browned. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
Add carrots and cook until lightly browned. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
Add bell peppers and cook for about 30 seconds. Remove from pan and drain on paper
Remove excess oil from the pan except for about 2 tablespoons. Add onions and garlic and cook until softened.
Add goat meat and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
Add tomato sauce, the 2 cups reserved broth, and chili peppers. Bring to a boil.
Lower heat, cover, and continue to cook for about 20 to 30 minutes or until meat is fork-tender and sauce is slightly reduced.
In a bowl, combine liver spread and about 1/2 cup broth from the pan. Stir until smooth and add to pan. Stir until well-dispersed.
Add pickles and olives.
Add potatoes and carrots and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes or until tender.
Add bell peppers and continue to cook for about 1 to 2 minutes or until tender yet crisp.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.

Notes
Don't marinate the meat for too long as vinegar is a strong acid and will break down the proteins, making the texture mushy.
