Spicy Duck Eggs in Fiery Sambal Mercon

Ingredients

• 6 duck eggs, boiled and peeled
• 30 bird’s eye chilies (cabe rawit)
• 2 medium tomatoes
• 5 shallots
• 3 cloves garlic
• Salt, to taste
• A little coconut oil for sautéing

Instructions

1. Begin by blending all the ingredients—bird’s eye chilies, tomatoes, shallots, and garlic—into a smooth paste. Add a small amount of water to facilitate blending if necessary.

2. Heat a little coconut oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the blended paste and sauté until the aroma of the spices is released and the mixture thickens slightly.

3. Gently add the boiled and peeled duck eggs to the pan, stirring carefully to coat the eggs with the sambal. Season with salt to taste.

4. Allow the eggs to simmer in the sambal for about 5 minutes, giving the flavors time to meld and the sambal to infuse into the eggs.

5. Once the sambal has nicely coated the eggs and the flavors have melded, your dish is ready to serve. Enjoy your spicy duck eggs as a delicious and bold addition to any meal.
