The last time I went to Sydney Paddy's Market, I bought a kilo of green chillies. When I got home, I forgot that I still have 1 container of it in the freezer! I had to get rid of it (read: cook), otherwise my newly bought 2 kilo of chillies (green, red, and very hot) won't fit into the freezer. For your information, I buy meat for 1.5 months stock. So you can imagine how full my freezer is.
I kinda wanted to make those ayam cabe ijo, hmmm... yum yum yum. So, I thought of making a big batch of bumbu dasar ijo (basic green spices)~ I made this up, totally. Now, every time I want to make either fried meat with cabe ijo (green chillies balado) or just sambal cabe ijo (green chillies condiments) I can just scoop a couple spoonful of this ready-to-use spices.
Ingredients:
- 22 sticks of green chillies
- 10 small very hot green chillie (cabe rawit)
- 8-10 garlic cloves
- 8-10 shallot/red onion cloves
- 3-4 kaffir lime leaves (daun jeruk)
- 1-2 tsp salt (you can adjust to your taste)
- 1/2 -1 tsp sugar
- a bit of vetsin
- 100ml cooking oil for frying
How to make:
- Combine all ingredients in food processor and blend
- Heat oil and fry the blended spices until aromatic
- Let it cool, then transfer to a plastic container and keep refrigerated for long use
Notes:
- Very sorry for the approximation of the ingredients because I didn't really pay attention to how much ingredients I poured into the food processor :P
- The small very hot chillies is optional if you wanted to be more spicy
- To make it healthier, I substituted the cooking oil with olive oil
- Pour the cooking oil enough to flood over the spices
My husband loves this sambal ijo so much to the extent telling me to whip up more even though I still have one container in the fridge! It's not like we're gonna eat sambal ijo everyday, dear, hahaha.
