Tomato Sambal (Sambal Tomat)
I think of this tomato relish as a beginner’s guide to sambal, as it works beautifully either spicy or mild, depending on your preference.For those with chile-sensitive palates, like my Devonshire mother-in-law, Caroline, deseeding the chiles lowers the potency of the heat. The addition of tomatoes makes it a mellow and umami-rich relish that is irresistible drizzled over soups, added to stews, or used as a dipping sauce with wedges or fritters.
