NOTES: * Indonesian relish with lime, chili and basil -- This recipe comes from the "Time/Life Pacific and Southeast Asian Cooking." I`ve been unable to find a recipe even remotely resembling it in any other Indonesian cookbook. I like to cross-reference recipes and learn where they came from, but only the Time/Life reporters seem to have found this one. In any event, it`s quite wonderful. Not for the faint of heart. : Difficulty: easy. : Time: 5 minutes preparation, 2 hours sitting. : Precision: no need to measure, but count the chili peppers. : Brian Reid : DEC Western Research Laboratory, Palo Alto CA : [email protected] -or- decwrl!reid : Copyright (C) 1986 USENET Community Trust
