Indonesian Liver ( Beef, Chicken or Pork ) image

If you read this recipe and think that it is hot you might like to know that the original recipe uses 14 small red peppers! Add more if you like. I only taste the sauce of this, because I don't like liver, and think it is hot enough. If you cannot get the lime leaves the only substitute I know of is lime zest. The flavors do improve if you make it in advance and then reheat.

This dish is a bit too spicy for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.
