Traditional Sambal
- 2 lbs of fresh red jalapeno chiles
- 1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
- 1 cup minced garlic
- 14 cup grapeseed oil or 14 cup canola oil
- 2 cups rice wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- Clean, stem and chop the jalapenos into smaller chunks.
- In a medium saucepan, combine the jalapenos, Thai chilies (or red pepper flakes), garlic, and oil.
- Cook over low heat until the ingredients soften and blend, about 15 minutes.
- Add the vinegar and cook until reduced by half, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and add the sugar and salt.
- Cool to room temperature.
- Transfer the mixture to a food processor and pulse 3 or 4 times to chop to a salsa-like texture.
- Store in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed jar.
- I use an old ketchup bottle which seems to work fine.
- Lasts 1 month, refrigerated.
