What is Sambal? Actually it is a Tausug appetizer listed in the handy Tausug cookbook “The Best of Home-Cooked Halal Tausug-Filipino Dishes,” written by Tausug Chef Abdulaziz H. Hamsain.
As an appetizer, Sambal is best eaten along with vegetable salad of sliced cucumber or it goes well also with chopped radish too. Hence, it would be nice to partake Sambal before one takes his main course.
