I love the fact that my parents are adventurous cooks. They're the reason why I love and appreciate so many different kinds of foods. Occasionally a dish will turn disastrous, but most of the time they turn out beautiful dishes that I would have never even thought of trying. This is exactly what happened yesterday when I went home to see Mom and Pop. This recipe comes from our friends in Holland, and is called seroendeng (seh-roon-dang). Apparently there's amazing Indonesian food all over Holland, and this is one of our friends' favorite dishes.
You need:
* 1 small onion
* 1 clove garlic
* 1/2 cup peanuts
* 1 cup shredded coconut (also add 1 tsp. brown super if the coconut is not sweetened)
* spices
Fry up the onion and garlic in a little olive oil. Add cumin, cloves, ginger, coriander, and the peanuts. Then add the coconut and fry until light brown. Mix together well and serve!
Above is our dinner. On the left is the seroendeng, on top is fried veggies (mixed with the same spices as the other dishes), on the right is peanut sauce, and in the center is a big heap of white rice. You're apparently supposed to eat them all separately with the rice so you can really taste the flavors, but when everything got mushed together, it was pretty damn good. It was quick, easy, and delicious. I will definitely have to look further into Dutch Indonesian food.
