Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 pieces Red chilies
- 4 pieces Shallots
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Stevia or monk fruit sweetener (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the red chilies, shallots, garlic cloves, and tomatoes thoroughly under cold water.
Remove the stems from the chilies and roughly chop them. For less heat, deseed the chilies before chopping.
Peel the shallots and garlic cloves and roughly chop them.
Dice the tomatoes into small pieces.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped shallots and garlic to the skillet and sauté for 2–3 minutes, or until fragrant.
Toss in the chopped chilies and diced tomatoes, and sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly for a few minutes.
Transfer the cooked ingredients to a blender or food processor.
Add the lime juice, coconut aminos, rice vinegar, salt, and optional stevia or monk fruit sweetener to the blender.
Blend the mixture until smooth, or leave slightly chunky for a rustic texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Transfer the sambal to a sterilized jar and let it cool completely before sealing. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Serve as a dip, a topping for grilled meats, or a marinade for tofu or vegetables.
