Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 8 whole red chilies (mild or spicy, based on preference)
- 5 small shallots
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 3 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a medium pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Once finished, transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water and peel off the shells. Set aside.
Step 2
In a blender or food processor, add the red chilies, shallots, garlic, and tomatoes. Blend until a smooth paste is formed. Add 2-3 tablespoons of water to help blend if necessary.
Step 3
Heat 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the chili paste and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the paste thickens and the oil begins to separate.
Step 4
Stir in the salt, sugar, and lime juice to the chili paste. Mix well.
Step 5
Carefully add the peeled hard-boiled eggs to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and gently coat the eggs with the chili sambal so they are fully covered. Let the eggs simmer in the sambal for 5 minutes, occasionally tossing them to ensure an even coating.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the Nut-Free Telur Balado to a serving dish. Serve warm with steamed rice or as part of a larger meal.
