#161: Eggplant, tomato and dried anchovies salad: recipe #116


One of the luxury during my uni years was free lunches at the hostel during fridays and sundays. The caterer that time employed a young Malaysian chef who loved to experiment new recipes. Amongst a few of his many recipes that I loved was ayam rendang kerisik, many types of kerabu and his clear tom yam soup.. When I read Mama fami's Fp the other day, I saw Kerabu tomato and ikan Bilis recipe.. and immediately I remembered one of the chef creation which was very similar to Mama's kerabu and ... here it is..

ingredients
:
Dried anchovies ~ fried 2 tomatoes ~ sliced
2 egg plants - roasted, peeled and cut into bite size pieces
bird eye chillies ~ sliced
shallots ~ sliced

2 lemon grass ~ sliced
garlic-sliced
salt to taste
sugar to taste
"limau kesturi" juice

Method :
1. In a bowl, combine all ingredients except anchovies. adjust the flavour.
2. Assemble the salad in a bowl, put the fried anchovies just before serving.
