Serundeng image

A crunchy accompaniment to Indonesian dishes. If you have access to authentic ingredients you can make some or all of the following substitutions: peanut oil for vegetable oil, palm sugar for brown sugar, ground galangal powder for ground ginger powder and tamarind paste for lemon juice. But its really good even with common ingredients.

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 large onion
2 garlic cloves
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut (do NOT use sweetened coconut, it will be totally gross)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 ounces salted peanuts

  • Grind onion and garlic to a paste in a morter or food processor.
  • Saute onion and garlic briefly, till soft, not brown.
  • Add all remaining ingredients except lemon juice and peanuts.
  • Cook and stir continuously over medium heat until the mixture is brown as toast and crumbly, not sticky.
