Project RayaFest 2014: Sambal Arab

08 Oct 2014

A Middle Eastern rice dish will not be complete without some type of Arabic salsa as an accompaniment, so for the Beef Kabsah I made during Hari Raya AidilAdha, I tried out Chef Ammar’s Sambal Arab.  Hot and tangy, it was perfect to counter the greasy fattiness of the beef.  Definitely a must, if you’re thinking Kabsah or Mandy for dinner today.
