INDONESIA

This relish (or sambal, as it is called in Indonesia) features an incendiary blend of shallots and red chiles. Chobek is a black lava-stone mortar and pestle traditionally used to grind the ingredients for sambals in Java. There are lots of options for chiles: red jalapeños or serranos, bird peppers or tabasco peppers. I’ve given a range to suit every degree of heat tolerance. (An Indonesian would use the full 15). You’ll need to know about one offbeat ingredient: shrimp paste. Called trasi in Indonesia and belacan in Malaysia, it’s a malodorous purple-brown paste of ground, salted, fermented shrimp. It tastes a lot better than it smells. If unavailable, you could use a few drops of Asian fish sauce or omit it entirely.


   ___ tsp shrimp paste (optional)
   _ to 15 fresh red chiles, stemmed and thinly sliced
   _ shallots, coarsely chopped
   ___ c lime juice, fresh, or more to taste
   _ tbs salt, or more to taste


1. Roll the shrimp paste (if using) into a ball and place it on the end of a fork or skewer. Hold it over a live flame (either a barbecue grill or gas burner) until lightly toasted and very aromatic, 2 to 4 minutes. Alternatively, place the shrimp paste on a square of aluminum foil and roast it under the broiler.

2. Combine the shrimp paste, chiles, shallots, 2/3 cup lime juice, and 1 tablespoon salt in a mini chopper, food processor, or blender, and blend to a coarse paste. Correct the seasoning, adding lime juice or salt; the sambal should be very spicy. Sambal chobek will keep, tightly covered in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.

Makes about 1 cup; enough to serve 4 to 6
