A Recipe: Beef Rendang
Ingredients:

6 cups coconut milk2 salam leaves2 lime leaves1 turmeric leaf1 cinnamon stick (3 cm)1 lemongrass tick (10 cm)15 cloves shallots15 cloves garlic1 piece of ginger (3 cm)1 piece of galangal (3 cm)1 nutmeg seed2 tbs chilli paste500g prime rump beef cut into 4 sq cm pieces (leave fat on)Salt to taste
Method
Heat the coconut milk in an uncovered wok over a very low flame. Add the salem leaves, lime leaves, turmeric leaf, cinnamon stick and lemongrass (don't cut these up). Crush the shallots, garlic, ginger, galangal and nutmeg to a paste. For this you can use a food processor or a traditional Indonesian mortar and pestle. Add this paste, the chilli paste and the salt to the coconut milk. Once the ingredients are heated through, add the beef and leave to cook very slowly for about four hours. Once the coconut milk has been reduced to an oily paste that sticks to the meat it is ready.
Rendang is very rich, so it's best served with lots of rice and other dishes.
