Frankfurt Book Fair 2015

Frankfurt Book Fair 2015

Frankfurt Book Fair adalah pameran buku kelas dunia yang bergengsi dan diselenggarakan tiap tahun di Frankfurt, Jerman.  
FBF tahun 2015 kemarin adalah yang paling penting karena Indonesia menjadi salah satu pengisi acara yang besar.  Kita di assigned untuk mengisi beberapa booth yang lebih banyak dari tahun2 sebelumnya, kemudian memajang berbagai buku karya dalam negeri, lalu juga menyajikan masakan Indonesia di beberapa restaurant yang terkemuka dll.
Pada kesempatan itu saya bersama team diberikan kepercayaan untuk menghidangkan masakan Indonesia.  Ada banyak sekali pilihan menu untuk disajikan, yang rasanya bisa diterima dengan baik oleh kebanyakan pengunjung dan disesuaikan dengan ketersediaan ingredients di Jerman.
Di bawah ini saya salinkan beberapa resep.

IGA BUMBU RUJAK 
Grilled rack of lamb with turmeric rice and tamarind chili sauce
Serves 1

Ingredients:
400 g rack of lamb, cleaned

TAMARIND CHILI SAUCE
30 cc oil for frying
25 g candlenut, roasted, ground
60 g shallots, roughly chopped
50 g shrimp paste, roasted, ground
15 g garlic, roughly chopped
2 sheets Salam leaves
75 g red chili, seedless, roughly chopped
10 cc tamarind juice
10 g galangal, roughly chopped
40 g palm sugar
15 g lemongrass, white part only, finely chopped
500 cc thick coconut milk
Stock to make sauce thinner
Salt and pepper to season

Method:

Tamarind chili sauce:  In a saucepan, sauté shallots, garlic, red chili, galangal and lemongrass until aromatic.   
Add candlenut and shrimp paste. Let it rest a while and then transfer to food processor.  
 Puree the mixture until smooth. Transfer back to saucepan and add the remaining ingredients. Cook for 10 minutes.  Season to taste. Take out from flame.
Marinate the lamb in tamarind chili sauce and season with salt and pepper.   
Grill on both sides then place in a pan, and cook for 10-15 minutes in a medium oven for medium doneness (or to own preference).

Other method:  some people make this dish by cooking lamb rack into tamarind chili sauce and grill to make grilling mark.  But I prefer grill first and then continue cooking in the oven to keep it moist and we could choose what kind of doneness suit us.



BUBUR INJIN 
Black rice porridge

Ingredients:
250 g white glutinous rice
250 g Injin /black glutinous rice
1 L water
200 g granulated sugar

2 sheets pandan leaves, knotted
20 g salt
Thick coconut milk, boiled add salt a bit

Method:
Boil white and black glutinous rice, water and pandan leaves until soft and cook.  Keep stirring until the bottom to avoid burning and sticking (suggested to use pot with thick bottom).  Add more water to make it softer if necessary.   
Add granulated sugar and palm sugar and continue stirring.  Take out from flame.   
Take pandan leaf out before serving.  Serve with coconut milk.

Note:  you may serve with coconut milk and palm sugar syrup on the side. If so take out palm sugar and granulated sugar out from the ingredients. 

To make palm sugar syrup:  simply boil palm sugar with water and bit of salt.  Take out from flame after first boiling.  You may add jack fruit slice to bring the fragrant out or just knotted of pandan leaf.
