Cucumber Sambal (Sambal Selamat) Recipes

Ingredients :

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 tsp fennel seeds

2 tsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

2 shallots, or 1 small onion, finely sliced

100ml rice or white wine vinegar

1/4 cucumber, finely diced

Method :

Place the garlic, fennel seeds, sugar and salt in a pestle and mortar and pound finely. Alternatively, grind the ingredients thoroughly in a food processor. Stir in the shallots or onion, vinegar and cucumber and allow to stand for at least 6 hours to allow the flavors to combine.

This sambal has a piquant flavor without the hotness of chilies found in other recipes.

Serves 4 - 6
