Sambal Tomat — Tomato Sambal (recipe by I Nyoman Sudiyasa of Sate Bali)

Ingredients:

• 4 T vegetable oil
• 15 shallots, peeled and sliced
• 10 cloves garlics, peeled and sliced
• 14 large red chilies, seeds removes and sliced
• 2 medium tomatoes, each cut into 6 wedges
• 2 tsp roasted dried shrimp paste
• 2 tsp freshly squeezed kaffir lime juice

Directions:

Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan or wok.  Add shallots and garlic and sauté for 5 minutes over low heat.  Add the chilies and sauté for another 5 minutes, then add the tomato and shrimp paste.  Simmer for 10 minutes.  Add the kaffir lime juice.

Put all the ingredients into a food processor and purée coarsely.  In class, we used a large flat mortar and pestle to mash this by hand.

Season with salt to taste.  Let cool before using.  This sambal can also be frozen for later use.
