Ingredients
- 6 pieces eggs
- 6 pieces red chilies
- 4 pieces shallots
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 1 medium tomato
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon erythritol (or low-carb sweetener)
- 3 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Place the eggs in a pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Let the eggs boil for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a bowl of ice water to cool for 5 minutes. Peel the eggs and set them aside.
Step 2
In a food processor or blender, combine the red chilies, shallots, garlic, and tomato. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste.
Step 3
Heat the coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chili paste and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the paste becomes fragrant and slightly thickened.
Step 4
Add the lime juice, salt, erythritol, and water to the skillet. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for another 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
Gently add the peeled hard-boiled eggs to the skillet and toss them in the chili sauce until they are evenly coated. Let the eggs simmer in the sauce for 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the Low Carb Telur Balado to a serving dish. Serve warm as a main course or side dish.
