About Beberuk Terong
Chandra Yudasswara’s beberuk terong combines round green eggplant, long beans and tomato in a Lombok vegetable dish. Indonesia’s tourism authority describes the same raw-vegetable sambal among the island’s traditional foods, commonly served with grilled chicken or seafood.
This rendition includes shallot, chilli, jeruk limo juice and kemangi. Its Taliwang seasoning combines several chillies with garlic, kencur, candlenuts, terasi and tomato, giving the vegetables a spicy, savoury dressing.
The chopped vegetables retain their individual pieces beneath the mixed seasoning. The chef presents the beberuk with ayam taliwang, keeping the chicken as an accompaniment to the salad.
