Sate Kambing - Lamb Satay

Lamb is another popular meat to be made into satay in Indonesia. In Jakarta, Sabang street is probably the go to spot for a serving of lamb satay and lamb fried rice. Be warned though that you will need to eat by the road side, so be prepared to enjoy your dish with a whiff or two of smoke (and smog!) from passing cars and motorcycles. Or, just order it to go and enjoy the food in the comfort of your own home.

Ingredients

  • Satay
  • 500 gram lamb thigh meat, cut into 1/2 inch cubes
  • 3-6 red bird eye chilies (Indonesian: cabe rawit merah), finely chopped (*)
  • 1 tablespoon coriander powder (Indonesian: bubuk ketumbar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoon sweet soy sauce (Indonesian: kecap manis)
  • 3 tablespoon oil, divided
  • 30 bamboo skewers
  • Chili sauce (mix the following together)
  • 4 shallots (Indonesian: bawang merah), sliced
  • 3-5 green bird eye chilies (Indonesian: cabe rawit hijau), sliced
  • 4 tablespoon sweet soy sauce (Indonesian: kecap manis)
  • Accompaniment
  • 2 tomatoes, cut into small cubes

Instructions

  1. Marinate lamb with chilies, coriander powder, salt, sweet soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of oil for at least 2 hours in the fridge. Overnight is best.
  2. Return the lamb to room temperature prior to cooking. Skewer the meat to bamboo skewers, about 3-4 meat cubes per skewer.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoon of oil in a frying pan (or a grill pan if you have one) on medium high heat. Pan fry/grill satay until slightly charred on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Arrange cooked satay neatly in a serving plate. Serve immediately with chili sauce and chopped tomatoes.

Notes

  • (*) Use red cayenne chilies for a milder spiciness level.

    Kambing is goat, not lamb. Makes great sate though!
