Acar is a Southeast Asian relative of Indian pickles, served at Indonesian and Malaysian meals. It is the traditional companion to sate and nasi goreng.
A bright, tangy Indonesian pickle of cucumber, carrot and shallot with chilli. The classic side for satay and fried rice.
Combine the vinegar, water, sugar, salt and turmeric in a pan. Heat until the sugar dissolves and let it cool.
Put the cucumbers, carrots, shallots and chillies in a bowl.
Pour over the cooled pickling liquid.
Chill for at least 1 hour. Serve sprinkled with crushed peanuts.
Let the pickling liquid cool before pouring so the vegetables stay crisp.
