Ingredients:

1/2 coconut, flaked, dried and toasted
2 Onions, chopped
3 Garlic cloves, chopped
1 tbsp groundnut oil
4 tbsp ground caraway seeds
2 Large red chillies
6 Bird's eye chillies
2 tsp poppy seeds
1/2 tsp Ground nutmeg
1 tsp Ground cloves
4 tsp Ground turmeric
2 tsp cubeb pepper, toasted and ground
8 anchovy fillets
finely-grated zest of 3 Limes
7cm length of Fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
10 Macadamia Nuts

Method:

Place the coconut into a food processor and blend until it becomes a paste. Sauté the onion and garlic in 2 tbsp of the peanut oil. Remove and add to the coconut.

Add all the remaining ingredients to the coconut mixture and process, while slowly adding just enough oil to form a paste. Once made, store in an air-tight jar in the fridge, where it will keep for up to 2 months.

This paste can be used as a marinade or rub for any meat, poultry, or fish, or as a base for a sauce.
