| 11 | I have no idea where the recipe originated from but it is a great dish that she has perfected over the years. |
| 12 | The leftovers are great next day, hot or cold. |
| 13 | Yield: serves * editor"s note: this recipe is unique in the history of alt.gourmand in that virtually none of the ingredients is available in an ordinary north american grocery store. |
| 14 | However, with a certain amount of difficulty i was able to find all of the ingredients in specialty food stores nearby (though admittedly i live in a wonderland of ethnic grocery stores and specialty markets). |
| 15 | The recipe is so delicious that it"s worth including even though most readers will not be able to find the ingredients to make it. |
| 16 | North americans can read ground beef for mince beef and bacon for middle bacon. |
| 17 | You can make an interesting substitute for this dish by using mexican seasonings instead of indonesian; the flavor will not be at all authentic but some of the spirit is preserved. |
