This is a recipe that my mother, Bep, has perfected.  I have no idea where the
recipe originated from but it is a great dish that she has perfected over the
years.  The leftovers are great next day, hot or cold.

Editor's note: this recipe is unique in the history of alt.gourmand in that
virtually none of the ingredients is available in an ordinary North American
grocery store. However, with a certain amount of difficulty I was able to
find all of the ingredients in specialty food stores nearby (though
admittedly I live in a wonderland of ethnic grocery stores and specialty
markets.) The 
recipe is so delicious that it's worth including even though most readers
will not be able to find the ingredients to make it.
North Americans can read
"ground beef" for "mince beef" and "bacon" for "middle bacon".
You can make an interesting substitute for this dish by using Mexican
seasonings instead of Indonesian; the flavor will not be at all authentic
but some of the spirit is preserved.
