Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Green chilies
- 3 medium Shallots
- 4 small Garlic cloves
- 2 small Tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar substitute (erythritol or stevia)
Instructions
Wash and roughly chop the green chilies, keeping the seeds in for an extra kick.
Peel and slice the shallots and garlic cloves.
Slice the tomatoes into quarters.
Heat 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the shallots and garlic to the pan and sauté until fragrant and slightly golden, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the chopped green chilies and tomatoes to the pan, cooking and stirring for another 5 minutes until they are softened.
Season with salt and sugar substitute, stirring to combine.
Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Transfer the cooked ingredients to a food processor or blender, add the lime juice, and pulse until you reach a rough paste consistency. You may add a tablespoon of water if needed to help with the blending.
Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in the pan and return the blended sambal to the pan.
Cook for another 3-4 minutes over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sambal thickens slightly.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.
