Indonesian Rendang Curry
A great rendang recipe to try !
Ingredients:

* 1 whole chicken, cut into small to medium-size pieces (OR the equivalent of beef)
* SAUCE:
* 1/2 can good-quality coconut milk
* 2 Tbsp. fresh finely chopped lemongrass (can also be purchased frozen at Asian food stores)
* 1 onion, peeled and quartered
* 4 cloves garlic
* 1 thumb-size piece galangal (or ginger)
* 1-3 red chillies, depending on how hot you like your curry (de-seeded if less heat is desired) OR substitute chili sauce
* 3/4 Tbsp. tamarind paste
* 1 Tbsp. brown sugar
* 2 tsp. dark soy sauce
* 4 Tbsp. fish sauce
* 1/2 tsp. turmeric
* 1 heaping Tbsp. ground coriander
* 1 Tbsp. ground cumin
* 1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
* 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
* 1/4 tsp. cloves
* 1 tsp. shrimp paste (available by the jar at Asian food stores) OR substitute 1 Tbsp. more fish sauce
* 2 whole star anise (use the Asian one, available at Asian food stores)
* GARNISH (optional):
* fresh coriander leaves
* dry shredded coconut

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Place all sauce ingredients - except whole star anise - in a food processor. Process well to form a thick curry paste or sauce. If you don't have a food processor, simply chop onion and herbs finely and combine with the coconut milk, spices, and other ingredients. These herbs and spices can also be ground together with a pestle & mortar.
2. Do a taste test for salt and spice, adding more fish sauce if not salty enough. If not spicy enough, add more fresh chili, or chili sauce. If too sour, add a little more brown sugar.
3. Place sauce in a wok or large, deep-sided frying pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken (or beef) pieces, plus the whole star anise, and stir well.
4. Continue stirring occasionally as you bring the curry to a boil. Then reduce heat to a simmer. Do not cover the wok/frying pan, as you want the sauce to reduce and become thicker.
5. Allow the rendang curry to simmer (stirring occasionally) for up to one hour, or until meat is cooked and tender. The sauce will reduce, so that it is almost like a coating on the rendang meat (plus there will be a little sauce leftover in the wok/pan).
6. Serve rendang directly from the wok/pan, or place the rendang curry on a serving plate (with any extra sauce poured over). Garnish with a sprinkling of shredded coconut and fresh coriander. The rendang recipe is ready..enjoy it !

Beef Rendang Recipe 1

Beef Rendang Recipe 1
A nice traditional rendang recipe to try !
INGREDIENTS
* 1-2 kg stewing beef, cut into 1" chunks
* extra garlic, sambal olek, soy sauce and oil
* 4-6 cloves garlic (fresh and not pre-pureed bottled garlic as it tastes foul)
* 2" piece of fresh ginger, skinned
* 1 medium onion or a bunch of shallots
* 2 tsp cumin powder
* 2 tsp coriander powder
* 1 tsp turmeric powder (or preferably the fresh root)
* 3-4 tbsp sambal olek (Indonesian Chili Sauce, do not use sweet Thai Sauce)
* salt to taste or soy sauce
* 1 cup of coconut milk or paste
* 1-2 teaspoons tamarind paste
* juice of 1/2 lemon
* 1 tbsp sugar
* 2-3 mashed kemiri/candle nuts
* oil for frying
INSTRUCTIONS
Rub the beef with mashed garlic, Sambal Olek, soy sauce and oil. Let marinate for a couple of hours in the fridge.

Make a paste (in a blender or food processor) of everything in the second group of ingredients (garlic ... soy sauce). If it is too thick to blend add some oil. Modify the spices according to taste, however you must use a lot of the chili paste as this is the central ingredient for the sauce.

Heat oil in pan until it is very hot. Add the beef and sear until brown all over (about 4-5 mins).

Add the spice paste, mix and cook on high heat for another few minutes.

Add the final group of ingredients (except candle nuts). Bring to boil then simmer for about 2 hours. Stir regularly (every 20 mins or so) as the sauce tends to be thick and dry.

With half and hour to go, check sauce thickness. The sauce should be a thick sauce when finished. Add candle nuts to thicken and then leave with lid off to reduce the liquid levels and make the sauce a thick pasty consistency (stir more frequently to stop sticking). The rendang recipe is ready...enjoy it during "Lebaran" season...!
