What did I do with the peanut I harvested? I turned it into this delicious side dish.
Main Ingredients:
250 gr peanut
100 gr anchovy (Teri Medan)
cooking oil for frying
3-4 Tbs cooking oil
Condiments for chili paste:
4 cloves of onions
1 clove of garlic
75 gr of red chili
1 medium tomato
1 Tbs sugar
1 Tbs Salt
How to:
1. Turn all the condiments into a chili paste using a blender(you may need to add a little water into the blender, but you can go without if using a food processor).
2. Fry the peanut and anchovy separately until they turn brown. Drained well.
3. Using 2-3 Tbs of cooking oil to cook the chili paste until it's slightly dry with medium fire. Make sure you continue to stir the chili paste to avoid it being burnt. You may add another Tbs of oil to avoid it being sticky to the skillet. Just make sure, that you cook the paste until the liquid is off in order to preserve the crispness of the peanut and anchovy.
4. After the chili paste is dry, rendering a fragrant flavor and turned into darker color, stir-in the fried peanut and anchovy and turn-off the fire. Mix well and let it to cool off.
5. Then store the side dish in an air-tight container or jar.
5. It' best to serve with steamed rice and vegetables.
