Satay, grilled meat on skewers, originated centuries ago in Java. It is thought to be the descendant of the Indian kebab, with the most common meats used in a predominantly Muslim country being lamb, chicken, and goat. Served on skewers, they’re cooked with and dipped in a creamy peanut sauce. This satay dish makes for a great appetizer or snack.
