Sambal Oelek (Indonesian Spice)

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
250 g (8 oz) fresh red chilies
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soft brown sugar
Jars of sambal can be bought in many Oriental shops and in some
delicatessens, but it is quite easy to make your own, especially with a
food
processor. This is the most basic sambal. To make other sambals,
ingredients
such as trassi or blachan, a firm paste made of rotted shrimp, and
candlenuts
are added to the mix.
Heat a heavy frying pan and put in the chilies after 2-3 minutes. Dry
roast
over a medium heat for a few minutes. Cool, then chop finely and pound to
a
paste with the salt and sugar. The chili seeds may be taken out, or left
in
if you want a really fiery relish. The sambal will keep for a week or so
in a
jar in the refrigerator.
