Rawon means black beef soup. The black colour originated from keluak or black nuts.
I find description rawon from wikipedia :
'Rawon is a strong rich tasting traditional Indonesian beef black soup. Originally from Surabaya in Indonesia Privince of East Java. It uses black nuts/keluak (Pangeum edule, fruits of kepayang/keluak tree) as the main spice which gives the strong nutty flavor and dark color to the soup'.
Rich taste and fresh makes rawon spread to the other city of Indonesia and keluak as a star from this soup.
What is keluak/keluwak ?
Pangium edule (Indonesian: keluak/keluak/pucung) is a tall tree native to the mangrove swamps of Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea). It produces a large poisonous fruit (the "football fruit") which can be made edible by fermentation.
The fresh fruit and seeds contain hydrogen cyanide and are deadly poisonous if consumed without prior preparation. The seeds are first boiled and then buried in ash, banana leaves and earth for forty days, during which time, they turn from a creamy white colour to dark brown or black.
The method relies on the fact that the hydrogen cyanide released by the
boiling and fermentation is water-soluble and easily washed out. (source : wikipedia.com)
