Sambal Cabe Ijo Padang - Padang Green Chili Relish
This is your basic sambal cabe ijo for Padang cuisine fans out there. This chili sauce, though I would personally call this a relish instead of sauce due to its chunky texture, is easy to make and tastes great either by itself or with simply boiled or steamed vegetables. I love this sauce so much sometimes I take my lalap with this instead of the regular sambal terasi. ♥

Hi Anita, saya pengen bikin sambel cabe ijo Padang. Bisa subsitusi tomatillos nya dengan yang bahan lain enggak? makasih banyak!
Anita says:
Hi Chika, paling deket tomat yah, tapi pilih yang belum matang sebisa mungkin, jadi masih yang agak-agak hijau. Dan kalo pakai tomat, jumlahnya 1/2 saja soalnya tomatillos lebih kecil ukurannya dibanding tomat biasa.
