Dalca Kambing

I have a few recipes waiting to be posted but was caught up writing on my other blog. So here you go, a Chef Wan recipe I recently tried - Dalca Kambing.

First is to saute 10 shallots, 2 garlics & 1 cm of ginger (all pounded) together with 3 cardamons (biji pelaga), 5cm cinnamon stick (kayu manis), 2 star anise (bunga lawang), 3 cloves (bunga cengkih) & curry leaves.

Add in a packet of curry paste. Stir until a thin film of oil rises to the top.

Join in a kg of lamb ribs

Stir well & combine in the earlier boiled dhal (200 gm).

Stir together with the paste & lamb.

Pour in a litre of coconut milk.

Join in carrots, potatoes & egg plants.

Once the potatoes are almost tender combine in long beans & okra.

Lastly the tomatoes.

Let simmer & add salt to taste.

Here you go, Dalca Kambing. Serve with Nasi Tomato or Nadi Dhal.

Grilled BBQ Lamb

I'm blessed with a husband who cooks. Not sure though whether he is naturally a good cook or he is just plain lucky. But what he cooks is not only edible but delicious. One of the few things that he cooks is this BBQ sauce. I really have to compliment him on this one. Even friends are aware of his signature BBQ sauce. The truth, this is the first time I volunteered to be together in the kitchen with him. Merely to snap photos, of course. I don't have the patient seeing him messing my office... you know what I mean.

Ok, let's start with the sauce. Onions, cadlenut & half a lemon blended together.



Next is to saute the blended items with olive oil.

I normally wait for my onions to turn slightly golden, then only I go to the next step. But here, once the sauted ingredients produce the inviting aroma, dry ground pepper is added.

Stir for awhile

After that, put in a bottle of mustard,honey, herb marinade.

Next is the spices. Mixed spice, basil leaves, thyme leaves & rosemary leaves.

Keep stirring.

Next is 2 bottles of black pepper sauce.

Join in honey.

Add in butter.

Next is 2 bottles of BBQ sauce.

Finally is salt & sugar to taste.

The BBQ sauce. We love to prepare this in a big portion. Extra we keep in the freezer.

Marinate the lamb overnight. This sauce is also great for chicken.

The grilling process. If HB is away, I simply grill the lamb in the oven.

Serve with your desired side dishes.
