Ingredients

Goats are widely consumed domesticated animal in Indonesia, they can easily be
seen roaming the countrys villages or kept as livestock in backyards.[1] In a
country with a majority Muslim population, goat meat or mutton is one of the
most preferred meats. Goats are often slaughtered during Eid ul Adha Muslim

religious ritual, resulting the goat dishes such as sate kambing and gulai
kambing will appears and commonly consumed during this Muslim festival.

Almost all parts of goat's flesh could be made as sate kambing, although the
prime part would be the hind legs.[1] Some variant might uses goat offals, and it
is considered as a delicacy, such as sate hati kambing that uses goat liver, and
sate torpedo that uses goat testicles, believed to have aphrodisiac property.[1]
[3]

The skewers that being used for sate kambing are usually larger and thicker, and
made from bamboo, compared to thinner skewers used for chicken satay that
usually used mid-ribs of coconut leaf. This is corresponds to the thickness and
texture of goat meat that is tougher than chicken. To avoid burning, the skewers
are usually being soaked in water first prior of using. The skewered mutton is
then marinated in spices before being placed on a charcoal grill. The marination
seasoning would include pured pineapple juice, sweet soy sauce, ground shallot
and galangal.[2] In restaurants or street stall warungs, sate kambing are made to
order and grilled right away after customer placed their order.

A set meal of sate kambing usually consists of the mutton satay itself, commonly
served in a thick black-colored sauce made of kecap manis or sweet soy sauce.
Some recipes however, might use peanut sauce instead, although peanut sauce
are more commonly used to serve chicken satay. Some people would eat it with
common steamed rice, while others might prefer traditional rice cakes like
lontong or ketupat. In some areas, sate kambing is sold together with another
popular food named gulai kambing, which is a spicy goat meat and offal soup.

Since goat meat has a somewhat distinct and quite strong aroma, those who do
not like the smell usually would replace the goat meet with lamb or beef. Similar
satay recipes might also be made with other kind of meats, e.g. meat of beef,
chicken, fish, pork and others.
