Sambal Westlandpeppers

Here's how to make it

1
Order the red or yellow Sambal kit with Westlandpeppers products: 250g red or yellow Spanish peppers, 3 Rawit peppers or Madame Jeanette peppers, and 2 cloves of garlic.

2
Remove the stems from the peppers, then blend them with the onion and garlic using a blender or immersion blender.

3
Next, add the sugar, vinegar, ketjap manis, and lime juice, then blend it again.

4
Cook the sambal in a wok or frying pan with a good splash of oil. Let it cook for 5 minutes over high heat, stirring constantly.

5
Pop the sambal into a clean jar and screw on the lid. Turn the jar upside down to create a vacuum seal, making sure it's perfectly closed. Let the sambal cool down, then store it in the fridge.

Tip

1
Want to make your sambal extra spicy? Then just leave the seeds in the peppers. Prefer your sambal less hot? Then take out the seeds and add a tomato.

Shelf life

Once you've opened a jar of sambal, it won't last forever. Always using a clean spoon will help it last longer. You can also pour a thin layer of oil on top of the sambal after each use.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion
  • 1 tbsp sugar
