Easy Chile (Chili) Sambal
A zesty sauce made with fresh chili and tomatoes to add flavor to vegetables, soups, meat, poultry and grains.
Ingredients
- 6 fresh red chiles minced
- 1 yellow onion minced
- 3 large tomatoes blanched, peeled, and chopped
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Combine the chiles, onion, and tomatoes in a bowl, and mash or process to a pulp. Season with salt and serve as a side dish or sauce
Notes
- This recipe makes about 2 1/2 cups.
- Fresh chilies are usually sold on local markets. They are long and are green at first. You can add a combination of green and red chilies.
- You can substitute the yellow onion for the white or red onion. Shallots are a good alternative. I would not suggest adding scallions instead of onion - a different flavor and not authentic African cuisine.
- Use Chili Sambal Sauce to season meat, poultry, and seafood.
- Use Chili Sambal Sauce as a dipping sauce for sandwiches and more.
- Follow these instructions on how to blanch tomatoes.
