And Then, There Were Two

Pomelo In My Backyard
I found a pomelo dropped on the ground, only three pomelos have survived this year from hundreds of flowers.  One fell and now only two left, I hope they will hang on a little longer, that way they will mature enough to be harvested, and the taste should be sweeter.

Using Pomelo: it is good to add into fruit salads or mixed citrus salad,  also mixed vegetables salad to garnish grilled meat (Sate Kocok).   I will use it for Javanese fruit salad (Lotis) with palm sugar and lime dressing.

Javanese Fruit Salad (Lotis)

1 Pomelo, peeled and get the flesh out

1 young cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced

1 Mango, peeled and sliced into small pieces.

(any fresh fruits that you like)

The Dressing or The Dipping Sauce:

1 cup grated palm sugar/coconut sugar

1 tablespoon or more of tamarind juice

or 2 tablespoons or more of lime juice 

1 tablespoon water

a pinch of salt

(mix all ingredients together to make smooth mixture)

Sate Kocok
(Grilled lamb on skewers)

Garnish: sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, shallots or red onion
Shredded kaffir lime leaves
The meat: cubes of a leg of lamb steak about 16, rub in salt and soy
Sate: pierce the meat cubes-8 with bamboo skewers
(it makes 2 skewers)
To cook: Grill the Sate, in hot heat for a minute each side until cooked.

The dressing
1 tablespoon grated palm sugar or coconut sugar
2 tablespoon water
2 tablespoon sweet soy (kecap manis)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 chilli, crushed
1-2 large limes (the juice only)
Mix together all ingredients, mix until smooth then add the shredded kaffir leaves.

Dressing and Garnish for the Sate Kocok (grilled lamb on skewers)

Add some pomelo flesh on the garnish if you like.

Sate Kocok is Served

It is a very appetising dish, the tender grilled lamb 

served with sweet and sour dressing and garnish with vegetables

and juicy pomelo flesh.

Sate kocok is one of my family favourite in Java.  My father and mother loved the dish so much.  We used to have the treat to take away State Kocok, the meat was not a lamb but goat meat.

You can quickly cook the sate on the BBQ, have a try, you may like it, after all,, we have the best lamb meat in the world. Small serve and lean beef are needed if you want to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Within a week or two, I would like to pick the two Pomelos.  The fruit keeps well, the longer you store it the better the taste is going to be. 

Until Next Post
