Fresh Chili Sauce

Sambal Terasi

This sambal is often ground fresh with a mortar and pestle just before serving. Terasi (shrimp paste) is the secret ingredient that gives this sambal a sharp twang that can grow on you.

2 clove garlic
2 shallots
8 chili peppers
1/2 tsp. terasi (shrimp paste)
1 squeeze lime juice.

• Grind the ingredients in the order listed.
• Squeeze a bit of lime over it and serve. This sambal keeps well in an airtight contrainer.
