Sambal Goreng Kentang Ati (Spicy Beef Liver)

Happy Saturday!

I did a lot of cooking today, 3 kinds of beef dish. My husband went shopping this morning and he got some discounts on nice beef cubes. So yeah, 1 turned one box into satay, 1 box into soup, and 1 box into coconuty beef. I will be sharing the recipes in coming days 😊

Then in the afternoon, we took the boys out for a walk to the forest. Not bad, 12K steps reached. Yay!

Needless to say, am very tired now. I haven’t truly sat down but now, and thought, hey, I haven’t shared a recipe for today. So here I am 😊 This following Indonesian dish is one of my favorites (yes, I have a lot of favorites. I love foods too much 🤣🤣🤣🤣)

700 g beef liver
Enough water
4 large potatoes
Enough olive oil
2 bags of sator (stinky beans)
5 garlic
1 medium onion
6 bird eye chilies
1 lemongrass
4-5 kaffir lime leaves
6 daun salam (Indonesian bay leaf)
300 ml water
At least 2 tbsp chicken bouillon powder (or to taste, if not a combination of sugar, salt, and MSG)

Boil beef liver in enough water for 8-10 minutes

Meanwhile, wash and cube potatoes

Once liver is cooked, slice into cubes
Heat enough oil (I use olive oil), fry potatoes

Using the same oil in the pot, fry cubed liver for 2 mins

Using the same oil in the pot, fry rinse stinky beans for 2 mins

In a blender, turn garlic onion, chilies, and 2 tbsp oil from the pot, into a fine paste

In a clean pot, dump paste, add lemongrass, bay leaves and lime leaves, saute til fragrant

Stir in liver, followed with potatoes and then stinky beans

Pour in water and season with chicken bouillon powder

Cook until all liquid gone

Enjoy with warm rice!
