Balinese Sambal
"This is adapted from Cradle of Flavor, based on a delicious version that I had with white rice and duck on my honeymoon. Optionally, you can include a couple of teaspoons of peanut oil, but I don't find it necessary, especially since Indonesian food tends to be rather oily anyway. If you like, you can chop the ingredients in a food processor."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I am a web producer and copy editor at an online newspaper.
Many of my favorite foods are down-home Southern comfort food like my grandmother and mother made, but I also live in an ethnically diverse area and have been able to learn a lot about different styles of cooking. I especially like Asian, Mediterranean and Indian food.
I'm working on learning to cook Indian food and I'm discovering that, like most traditional cuisines, it involves a lot of long complicated processes and a lot of intuition and background knowledge on the part of the cook. Hope I can begin to grasp some of that knowledge eventually.
