Sate kambing

Sate kambing is a traditional dish and a type of satay prepared with mutton as the main ingredient. The meat is cut into chunks or cubes and it's marinated in a combination of ingredients such as kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), galangal, ground shallots, pineapple juice, and (often) chili peppers. After it's been marinated, the meat is placed on skewers that are larger and thicker than the ones used for chicken satay as the texture and thickness of mutton is tougher than chicken. The skewers for sate kambing are usually made from bamboo. The meat is grilled, then served with kecap manis sauce, peanut sauce, or chili sauce, consisting of shallots, bird eye chili peppers, and kecap manis. Some like to eat sate kambing with steamed rice or rice cakes on the side. This type of sate is especially popular in Java.
