If you're an avid lover of spicy food like me, trust me, you would appreciate this post HAHA. As an Indonesian, one of the hardest thing about living away from home country is the inability to find excessively spicy foods. Lucky me to live in beautiful country like The Netherlands, they have tulips, windmills, chocomel AND RAWIT CHILIS. Not the same rawit that you'd find in Indonesia, but i found it therapuetic somehow.
So what do you know about Indonesian sambal? Sambal terasi, sambal tomat, sambal bawang, sambal hjau perhaps .. All of them are my favourite, but i would rather share my recipee on a peculiar sambal now. Speak of the devil, SAMBAL TERONG or Eggplant Sambal. It is greasy, it is spicy, and it is delish.
INGREDIENTS
a) Eggplants (1 piece)
b) 3 Big red chilis (add some more if you use more eggplant)
c) 12 Rawit chilis (add some more if you use more eggplant)
d) 1 piece of tomato
e) 2 cloves of garlic
f) 5 cloves or red onion
g) Dried Shrimp (ebi) or Terasi
h) A little water
i) A little red sugar
j) A little salt and sugar
INSTRUCTION
a) Grind or blend some of the ingredients using blender. Ingredients as follow: big red chilis, rawit chilis, red onion, tomato, garlic, little water.
b) Cut the eggplant and fry them until it gets a little brown, put them aside.
c) Heat some oils, stir fry the blended compound. Let it boil for a moment.
d) Put in the eggplant. Stir until the eggplant looks mushy and cooked enough.
e) Add a little sugar, salt and dried shrimp. Check the taste, if you like it then it's good like that. If you think you can add some more salt or sugar, please do.
f) Sambal terong is ready to be served.
Voila isn't that easy? If it's your first time trying to cook this, be careful with the steps and ingredients. The dried shrimp is just to give some ethnic scent on it, so you can let it go if you cannot find it. Please try this recipe out and share it with your loved ones, if you have question just let me know.
