Indonesian Pork Sate Recipes

INDONESIAN PORK SATAY

Steps:

• Whizz all the ingredients (except the pork) to a paste in a food processor. Transfer half to a mixing bowl, add the pork and coat, then cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
• Put the remaining sauce in a saucepan with a generous splash of water and heat gently, stirring, until the sauce turns a shade darker. Set aside until needed.
• If you're using wooden skewers, soak them in cold water to stop them burning. Heat the grill as high as it will go. Lightly oil a foil-lined baking tray. Thread the pork onto 8-12 skewers, then lay out on the tray and grill for 8-10 minutes, turning once, until blackened in places and cooked through. Serve with the sauce and your choice of accompaniments.

SATE BABI - INDONESIAN PORK SATAY

Steps:

• Pork satays: Grind shallots, garlic, red chilies, candlenuts, and galangal in a food processor into a smooth paste.
• Mix pork with the spice paste, palm sugar, coriander, cumin, turmeric, soy sauce, kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), and lime juice in a mixing bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and rest in the fridge overnight to marinate. Please marinate for a minimum of two hours even if you don't have much time.
• Skewer marinated pork pieces with bamboo skewers.
• Heat a cast-iron grill pan over medium-high heat until very hot. Brush the grills with oil using a silicone brush, and grill pork skewers until the surface is golden brown and slightly charred, about 2 minutes per side. Arrange grilled pork satays on a serving plate.
• Chili sauce: Transfer leftover marinade into a saucepot and bring to a boil. Cook until the sauce thickens.
• Place the sauce into a bowl, add thinly sliced shallots, chopped red chilies, and lime juice. Serve pork satays with the chili sauce.

Steps:

• To prepare marinade, arrange peanuts on baking sheet; bake at 325 degrees until fragrant and lightly browned (8 to 10 minutes). In blender or food processor, grind peanuts to a coarse meal. Add all remaining ingredients except pork and skewers; puree. Place mixture in saucepan and heat just to a boil. Let cool. Reserve about a third of the marinade to use as a baste. Pour remaining marinade over pork, mix to coat well, cover, and marinate in refrigerator at least 3 hours or overnight. (If using bamboo skewers, soak skewers in water for 1 hour.)
