Pecel

Pecel (salad made of blanched vegetables served with peanut sauce) is original menu from Madiun East Java.

Pecel was made from boiled various vegetables such as spinach, bean sprouts, green beans ,turi leaves, cucumber and others vegetables that want to add and then serve with spread of sauce peanut. Concept of pecel menu was similar with salad from Europe, both of them use fresh vegetables as the main component and topping.

The different is if salad use mayonnaises as topping, but for pecel it use sauce peanut for topping.

Normally pecel serve complete with peanut crisp or shrimp crisp.
