Bali Cooking Class, Balinese Lawar

Balinese Lawar RecipesLawar is made by mixing chopped meat with various green vegetables and grated coconut.

As for the meat, the choices are either beef, chicken, duck, pork, turtle, or a combination of those. Balinese know two types of lawar: red and white.

The red lawar gets its color from animal blood added to the mixture, which adds a certain savory flavor and to the whole dish. White lawar, on the other hand, doesn’t contain blood and often substitutes meat with jackfruit.
