Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces eggs
- 6 pieces red chilies
- 4 pieces shallots
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 medium tomato
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon erythritol (or low-carb sweetener)
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
Place the eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Let the eggs boil for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and set them aside.
In a food processor or blender, combine the red chilies, shallots, garlic, and tomato. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste.
Heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chili paste and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the paste becomes fragrant and slightly thickened.
Add the lime juice, salt, erythritol, and water to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for another 3-5 minutes.
Gently add the peeled hard-boiled eggs to the skillet and toss them in the chili sauce until they are evenly coated. Let the eggs simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the Low Carb Telur Balado to a serving dish. Serve warm as a main course or side dish.
