NOTES:

*Indonesian relish with lime, chili and basil -- This recipe comes

from the "Time/Life Pacific and Southeast Asian Cooking." I've been

unable to find a recipe even remotely resembling it in any other

Indonesian cookbook. I like to cross-reference recipes and learn

where they came from, but only the Time/Life reporters seem to have

found this one. In any event, it's quite wonderful. Not for the faint

of heart.

: Difficulty:easy.

: Time:5 minutes preparation, 2 hours sitting.

: Precision:no need to measure, but count the chili peppers.
