Sambal

Sambal is a a a beautiful, fresh Indonesia barbecue sauce and condiment. I charred all of the ingredients under the broiler to deepen the taste. It was suggested that it be served over chicken or fish. We had it over lamb for the winter solstice.

Jeremy's roasted sambal

Two bell peppers and two chilies, I used red yellow and two jalapenos.
Roast using flame or broiler, steam in a covered bowl or in a brown paper bag. Run under water to remove skins, adjust the heat by how much seed and membrane you remove.

Roast three cloves garlic (unpeeled) and five shallots (peeled) under the broiler till slightly charred.

Cut a large tomato in half and char under the broiler.

dice and blend all ingredients to make a smooth sauce.

Move to a saucepan and heat to a gentle simmer add a tablespoon of sugar and salt and pepper to taste.

Enjoy
