Cumi sos Padang (Squid in Padang sauce)

Hello everyone,

Once again it's gonna be an Indonesian recipe. I know there are quite a lot of them (French ones also) but as I live in the country it can't really be helped; and for a change I won't have to replace 50% of the recipe. But don't worry, I'll make sure to keep some variety on my blog to satisfy all kinds of palace.

So today's recipe comes from Sumatra Barat (again) which is famous for its cuisine, and is the birthplace of the rendang that I published only a few days ago. This is a dish I am cooking quite often because it is quite easy and gives a nice change compared to the fried chicken that seems to be the most eaten thing around here.

Step 2

1. Chop your onions and garlic and blend your tomato with a bit of water.

3. Fry the onion and garlic until coloration and add the pastes and the lemongrass. Keep frying for 2 mn while stirring.


4. Add the water, the various sauces, the blended tomato and the squid. Cook on high heat until the sauce thicken (10-15 mn give or take).
