Sambal with it? Sambal with everything!

You really can’t think of anything sambal wouldn’t go with. But what actually gets better when you spoon some of the hot stuff over it?

Pasta sauce

Simple tomato sauce over your pasta? Spice it up with a big spoonful of sambal. The spiciness of the sambal goes perfectly with tomato.

Peanut butter sandwich

A sandwich with peanut butter is already nice enough. But everything gets just a little bit better with sambal. Want to really make an effort? Add a few slices of cucumber and sprinkle some fried onions on top.

Hummus

Hummus boring? Not if you stir a generous amount of sambal through it. Other tips? Try mixing hummus with mango, coriander or ras-al hanout too, but that’s beside the point.

Brussels sprouts

A must-try for sambal lovers. Boil Brussels sprouts for about eight minutes, then fry them in a pan with garlic, spring onion and some sambal.

Avocado

Okay, maybe we can’t look at or hear about avocado toast for a while, but it remains delicious. Especially when you spread some spicy goodness on top.
