Colo-colo (condiment)

Colo-colo is a type of hot and spicy condiment commonly found in Maluku cuisine of Maluku archipelago, Indonesia. It is believed to be originated from Ambon city. Colo-colo is similar with Manado's dabu-dabu, as they both uses a lot of chopped red chili peppers, bird's eye chili, shallots, red and green tomatoes, and a pinch of salt and sugar, mixed with fresh calamansi juice or locally known as lemon cui or jeruk kesturi. (sometimes replaced by kaffir lime or lemon juice). The main difference is colo-colo recipe often added further with additional ingredients, such as chopped lemon basil, kenari nut, and tahi minyak or ampas minyak (black-colored cooking coconut oil residue), or caramelized rarobang (watery residue of coconut oil-making process). As the result colo-colo is darker and more oily than dabu-dabu.

However today, because of the rarity and difficulty to acquire traditional cooking oil residue and caramelized rarobang, this oily agent is often replaced by widely available and practical kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) mixed with margarine, coconut oil or cooking oil. As the result today colo-colo is often mistaken as Indonesian common sambal kecap.
