Daging Rendang Basah is being prepared. Heavenly scents rise from the kitchen, and not only the taste is great, but also the smells. A delicious recipe.
As written earlier, I love Indonesian cuisine. I grew up with it. No, not that I come from Indonesia, but my neighbors did.And several times a year, on birthdays, we were allowed to come and eat with them. The days before we already enjoyedall the wonderful smells, by then I already was very hungry, and when the time came .... yummy.
This recipe I adapted from the cookbook Boekoe Bagoes from Harold Pereiro, Rice & Eveline Mirjam van der Stoel. And I served it with a cabbage, cucumber salad. I also share that recipe with you. Because the crispy cabbage was so balanced in flavor with the rendang and refreshing.
