Hello all chef friends...

Again, this is a contest with a very interesting theme, one that I really like. Yes, I love to cook and I always cook. Seasoning is one of the secrets to make the food taste more delicious. There are a lot of ingredients, and I think on this occasion I will say that "shallot" has always been my main reason for cooking, or I can say that my husband knows that onions have a meaning more than just "kitchen seasoning".

What is your favorite ingredient? Dimos that makes it different from others.

Shallots are one of my favorite ingredients. Indonesian food is rich in spices. I often use almost all the kitchen spices that are in every dish I cook, turmeric, pepper, coriander, ginger, chili, and my favorite is garlic, which is shallots. This is one of the most important ingredients, in flavoring and also making the aroma more seductive. Shallots are rich in antioxidants. Shallots can be eaten plain (pickled), fried and ground together with other ingredients. This is a complement to the ingredients of the kitchen and this includes kitchen ingredients that are also rich in "drama", you will be made to cry by it.

Is this ingredient often used in your home?

Of course. This is the main ingredient in my cooking, especially regional specialties such as red cooked meat, white cooked meat, Acehnese rendang, sayur lemak, fish sale, soup, meatballs, cakes, etc.

Shallots will increase its properties if put together with other herbs. Although in medicine it is also used as a cure for colds (shallots + petroleum, just rub it on the stomach or back). Shallots have become the "prim donna" in my small kitchen and I can't if she's not in her basket.


Is this ingredient expensive? Share the price in your local currency and on Steem.


Of course not. Because red onion is one of the most important ingredients, there are many local farmers who grow it so that the production level is also stable at present. In my area this is only valued at IDR 37,000/kg or the equivalent of 12.75 steem.

With 1 kg of shallots, I can cook for weeks, that's too much. I usually buy half because shallots will also go bad if kept too long at room temperature and don't store them in the fridge, if you dry them out they will last longer.


What recipes do you prepare with your favorite ingredients? If you have photos, we would like you to share

This is a very easy food to prepare, shallots are the main thing because they will give the food a savory and fragrant taste and if you add other ingredients it will become an extraordinary dish.

This is a dish that in my opinion is very simple especially just chopping it and then stir-frying it. I usually serve this dish for the lunch menu, and this is one of Indonesia's specialties, "Tempe fry chili". Which is a simple menu, but the taste and quality are luxurious and also very cheap and delicious when eaten with warm white rice.

Onions are one of the basic spices in every dish served. Naturally, if you like onions as a favorite ingredient. I myself am also very addicted to pickled shallots and fried onions hehehe...

La cebolla también es uno de mis ingredientes favoritos, con aportar un sabor único a los platillos. Me alegra ver que en tu región se cosecha la cebolla, por lo que es asequible.
