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.[3][1]
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.
