Sambal Ijo:
Green Chili Sambal. Is amous across West Sumatra, Sambal Ijo is the signature soul of Padang cuisine. By using large green chilies and green tomatoes, this dip trades intense «sting» for a mellow, earthy, and savory profile. It’s cooked until rich and oily, making it one of the most addictively smooth sambals you’ll ever try.
What does it taste like? Earthy and savory with a much milder heat than red sambals. It has a slightly «roasted» vegetable taste and a rich, oily finish.
Ingredients:
- Large green chilies
- Green tomatoes
- Shallots
- Garlic
- All briefly steamed, then coarsely pounded and fried.
