Rendang eggs are a typical Indonesian dish that is super tasty and still vegetarian. This is one of my favorite recipes from Indonesian cuisine.
A new year, so it's time for the food blog swap. And this time I had to bake from the blog of Martine called Duizenden1dag. And she had some lovely blogposts. I thought it would become difficult. Until I found the recipe for Rendang eggs. A recipe that gives me such a great childhood memory.
Back in time
My neighbor from my young years was married to an Indonesian man. At every birthday party, there was a table filled with Indonesian appetizers, an Asian buffet. And that was just at the right moment, because the whole week I was smelling all the preparations, and it smelled amazing.
At the birthday party, there were a lot of plates full of delicious treats, but my favorite was the rendang eggs. I didn't retrieve the recipe, until this food blog swap. So Martine thanks a lot for sharing, I've enjoyed this recipe so much!
- These eggs can be prepared a day before you want to eat them and will be even more delicious because all the flavors are even better developed. Store them in the refrigerator and warm on low heat
- Make sure you use eggs that are a few days old, they will peel a bit easier.
