Sambal Teri Kacang (anchovies and peanut with chilies sauce)

Sambal teri kacang is quite popular in North Sumatera Indonesia, this is sounds a bit like the specialty of Batak dishes. I cannot recalled if I have ever found this in any fancy restaurants there, but if I go to a small food stall where they sell lontong sayur or nasi lemak, this dish come as condiment.

Ingredients:

1 small pack of dried anchovies (1 cup)
1 cup of peanut
3 shallots
2 garlics
1 tomatoes; chopped coarsely
1/4 tsp salt (anchovies are salted sometimes)
3 tbs sambal oeloek
vegetable oil

Directions:

1. Fried the peanut till the color slightly change (4 mins approx), set aside
2. Fried the anchovies and stir around for approx 3-5 mins
3. Ground the shallots and garlics, then stir fry in 5 tbs vegetable oil.
4. Add the sambal oleok, the tomatoes and salt.
5. Mix the peanut, anchovies and sambal
6. Serve with rice.
