Chilli and Paprika Sambal
Sambal Cabe Paprika is quite easy to make. It tastes good and not too spicy. Suitable for the beginners;-) and good for barbecue.I've made it once for summer street party 2012 in my neighbourhood's corner. And it was worth it! The neighbours were happy 😉
Instructions
- Put paprika, chilli & garlic in a blender or food processor & blend into smooth paste. (If necessery add a little bit oil to help the blending process).
- Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok or saucepan. (Don't add oil if already added in a blender).
- Stir fry the sambal paste & kaffir-lime leaves. Stirring all the time until well cooked & fragrant.
- Adjust into medium heat & let it cook until oil begins to appear on the surface, take about 15 mins. Stir frequently.
- Stir frequently so that sambal does not burn. Sambal is ready when the liquid is completely absorbed and the paste has become relatively dry.
- Adjust the seasoning. Add salt & sugar to taste. Remove from heat.
Tipp
- Let your chilli and parika sambal cool down completely, then store it in an air-tight jar & keep in a fridge. Sambal will stay good for 2 weeks.
