Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ ------------ --------- --------- --
1 red onion -- chopped
3 vine-ripened tomatoes -- peeled, seeded, and chopped
1 habanero chile -- or other red chile, seeded and chopped

This is a sweet-and-sour habanero chile salsa from the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. Habanero, usually red or yellow, is an extremely fiery chile, often confused with the infamous Scotch bonnet, which is also lantern-shaped. Despite its intense heat it has a fruity tome that goes particularly well with fruits and tomatoes. Use it sparingly, and take care when handling it. If you prefer, use milder chiles.

Lovely with grilled [c or 2Favorites].

Seville oranges (bitter oranges) are not widely available but may sometimes be found in Caribbean grocery stores. If you can't find them, use ordinary oranges, but add a little lime juice to give that sour effect.

Laotian Roasted Tomato and Garlic Dipping Sauce

Serving Size : 16 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Condiment LowCal (Less than 300 cals)
LowerCarbs Seafood

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ ------------ --------- --------- --
4 large garlic cloves -- unpeeled
3 red chiles -- cut in half length-wise
4 ripe firm vine tomatoes -- cut in half
1 small red pepper -- cut in half and seeded
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons nam pla -- (Thai fish sauce)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 scallions -- finely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
juice of 1/2 lime

Preheat the oven to 400F. Put the garlic, chiles, tomatoes, and red pepper in an oven dish or roasting pan and drizzle the oil over them.

Roast in the oven for 20 minutes, then turn the vegetables and return to the oven for another 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool.

When they are cool, slip the roasted garlic cloves from their skin and put in a mortar with the roasted chiles and red pepper. Pound into a coarse paste.

Remove and discard the skin from the tomatoes, chop the flesh, and add to the paste, then pound again to a paste.

Add the remaining ingredients, mix well, and serve.

Makes about 1 cup (16 one-tablespoon servings).

In Laos, many sauces are flavored with garlic, tomato, and peppers and are infused with fresh herbs such as basil, cilantro, and mint.

This sauce cannot be made very far in advance, as it relies on the flavor of freshly cooked ingredients. Make it a few hours before you need it, for the best results.

I particularly like this sauce served with steamed shrimp or fish cooked wrapped in banana leaves, or, during the height of summer, cooked on a hot charcoal barbecue.

Put the salt, garlic, shallots, and cilantro leaves and roots in a mortar and pestle, and pound until crushed.

Add the nam pla and lime juice and mix thoroughly. The dressing should taste hot, sweet, sour, and salty. Add more palm sugar to make it sweeter or more nam pla to make it more salty.

Makes about 1 cup (16 one-tablespoon servings).

VARIATIONS:
Replace the green chiles with Dutch or Indonesian lombok chiles, for a slightly less hot version.

SWEET THAI DRESSING:
Add 2 tablespoons sweet chili sauce to the basic recipe. Great with grilled beef or calamari salad.

A wonderful dressing, simple and addictive, one of the staples of the Thai kitchen and a great way of learning about the balance of flavor in Thai cooking. There is a number of variations, but the key elements remain the same: hot, sour, salty, and sweet - exemplified by chile, garlic, lime juice, fish sauce, and palm sugar, all hallmarks of the country's cuisine. This recipe calls or cilantro roots, but if they are unavailable, just use the leaves.

Great for enlivening salads...

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ ------------ --------- --------- --
1/2 cup vegetable oil
4 shallots -- sliced
4 garlic cloves -- crushed
8 small dried red chile pepper
1 tablespoon dried shrimp paste
1 tablespoon palm sugar -- or brown sugar (optional)
3 tablespoons nam pla -- Thai fish sauce
2 tablespoons tamarind paste
salt

Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan and add the shallots and garlic. Cook until lightly golden, then remove with a slotted spoon to a blender.

Add the chiles and shrimp paste to the wok or pan and fry for 1 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to the blender, reserving the oil in the wok.

Add the sugar, if using, to the blender and blitz. Add the nam pla, tamarind, some salt, and the reserved oil from the wok, then blitz again to a blended puree.

Transfer to a bowl and let cool. Serve cold. It can be refrigerated for up to three months.

Makes 1 1/4 cups (20 one-tablespoon servings).

Fish Sauce - Don't be put off by the pungent aroma, incorporated into a sauce, dressing, or curry, fish sauce becomes less powerful, quite addictive, and a healthy alternative to salt. The Vietnamese (nuoc mam) and Thai (nam pla) versions, made form fermented anchovies, shrimp, or squid, are considered the best and are widely available. Once opened, fish sauce should be refrigerated.

In Thailand, this fragrant and spicy-hot sauce makes the perfect accompaniment to many dishes stirred into fried rice with vegetables or seafood or, the way I like it, brushed over grilled fish or shellfish.
