Sate klatak is a special type of goat or mutton satay. It comes from the Pleret District in Bantul, a part of Yogyakarta in Indonesia. The name "klatak" comes from the Javanese language. It describes the sound the meat makes when it's cooked over an open fire.
What Makes Sate Klatak Special?
This satay is quite different from other types you might know. Most satays use many different spices for marinating. But Sate klatak keeps it simple! It mainly uses just salt and a little bit of pepper to flavor the meat.
Another unique thing is the skewers. Most satays use bamboo sticks. But for Sate klatak, they use skewers made from iron! These iron skewers are great because they help cook the meat evenly. They conduct heat right into the middle of the meat. This makes sure every part is cooked perfectly.
How Sate Klatak is Served
Sate klatak is usually served with a delicious soup called gulai. This gulai is a type of curry soup. It is often very rich in flavor and spices. Sometimes, it's even cooked with lamb bones to add more taste. The soup is slowly boiled over a small fire for about 30 minutes. This slow cooking helps all the flavors mix together perfectly.
