Acar Kuning


Acar or pickles was never my favorite. But so were many other Indonesian food when i was still young.

I found this Acar kuning (yellow pickles) on the net, and i am very willing to try since i have all of the ingredients in the cupboard. You can eat acar as your grilled fish companion, salty martabak, or nasi/mie goreng (fried rice or noodles).

Ingredients:
  • 1 cucumber, cut as you like (i followed the original recipe)
  • 2 carrots, cut
  • 200 gr pineapple
  • 300 ml water
  • 1 tbs vinegar
  • lemon juice from ½ lemon

spices, using your pestle, ground the following:
  • 2 cm curcuma, grilled,
  • 2 shallots
  • 1 garlic
  • 2 chillies
  • sugar
  • salt

Methods:
boil the water together with the spices
Add the pineapple, carrots, cucumber, vinegar and lemon juice.
Simmer until the veggies go tender.
