Dutch-style Cilok with Mustard Dip

Ingredients

In the Dutch-style Cilok, we have adapted the traditional Indonesian recipe by incorporating Dutch flavors and ingredients. The original Cilok is typically made with a peanut sauce, but we have replaced it with a tangy mustard dip, which is commonly enjoyed in Dutch cuisine. Additionally, we have added ground beef to the filling to enhance the savory taste, which is a popular ingredient in Dutch dishes. We alse have the original recipe for Cilok, so you can check it out.

Preparation

1. 1.
   In a mixing bowl, combine the tapioca flour, salt, and water. Knead until a smooth dough forms.
2. 2.
   In a separate bowl, mix the ground beef, onion, garlic, salt, white pepper, nutmeg, vegetable oil, and parsley until well combined.
3. 3.
   Take a small portion of the dough and flatten it in your palm. Place a teaspoon of the beef mixture in the center and fold the dough to enclose the filling. Roll it into a small ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
4. 4.
   Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Gently drop the dumplings into the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, about 5-7 minutes.
5. 5.
   While the dumplings are cooking, prepare the mustard dip by combining mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Mix well until smooth.
6. 6.
   Once the dumplings are cooked, remove them from the water using a slotted spoon and transfer to a serving plate.
7. 7.
   Serve the Dutch-style Cilok warm with the mustard dip on the side.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Tapioca flour — Ensure that the tapioca flour is well-kneaded with water to achieve a smooth and elastic dough.
• Ground beef — Use lean ground beef for a healthier option. You can also substitute it with ground chicken or turkey if desired.
• Dijon mustard — If you prefer a milder flavor, you can use regular yellow mustard instead of Dijon mustard.
• Lemon juice — Freshly squeezed lemon juice will provide the best flavor for the mustard dip.
• Mayonnaise — Opt for a high-quality mayonnaise to enhance the taste of the mustard dip.

Tips & Tricks

• To add a hint of spiciness, you can include a small amount of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the beef filling.
• For a variation, you can experiment with different fillings such as cheese, mushrooms, or vegetables.
• If you prefer a smoother texture for the mustard dip, you can blend all the ingredients together until creamy.
• Serve the Dutch-style Cilok as an appetizer at parties or as a snack for a flavorful treat.
• Leftover Cilok can be refrigerated and reheated in a steamer or microwave for a quick and delicious meal.
