Ingredients
- 1 fresh red pepper, seeded and sliced
- 1 medium onions, quartered
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- ½-inch cube terasi (shrimp paste)
- 4 macadamia nuts or 8 almonds
- 1-inch piece of fresh turmeric or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- ¼ cup corn, sunflower, or olive oil
- 2 cups white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- ¼ cup white sugar
- 3 medium carrots
- 1 small cauliflower
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 cup white cabbage
- 1 cup dry-roasted peanuts, coarsely crushed
- 1 teaspoon salt, to taste
Method
- Place the pepper, onion, garlic, shrimp paste, nuts, and turmeric in a food processor. Blend to a paste-like consistency.
- Heat the processed paste mixture in the oil for 2 minutes. Add the vinegar, water, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil while stirring. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, while preparing vegetables.
- Cut carrots into desired bite-sized shapes. Cut green beans into short, even lengths. Separate cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Peel seeded cucumber and cut into bite-sized cubes. Cut cabbage into bite-sized pieces.
- Blanch each vegetable separately in boiling water for 1 minute. Rinse in cold water to halt the cooking. Drain well.
- Add the vegetables to the boiled paste sauce. Gradually bring the entire mixture to a boil. Cook for 5–10 minutes. Do not overcook—the vegetables should still be crunchy.
- Remove from heat. Add the peanuts to the mixture and cool.
- Once cool, cover and chill for at least 3 days before serving.
