A. Overview

Culinary hunting in Yogyakarta is never ending. Day by day their number is increasing. New kinds of culinary come just at anytime. Among the new ones is the rabbit satay at Kaliurang. Rabbit satay is found almost everywhere outside Yogyakarta, but the one at Kaliurang differs from the rest. Moreover, enjoying it in the cold weather of Kaliurang adds to the enjoyment.

The piquant taste of rabbit satay and its peanut sauce is slightly different from the other satays that are more common for people like chicken and lamb satay. However, rabbit meat has different taste and texture, its piquancy is not as strong as chicken meat and its soft texture is not as hard as lamb meat.

The ingredient for making rabbit satay is mainly the 4-6 month old rabbits. At this age, their meat is soft and sweet. A fat rabbit can make 60-90 skewers. The rest of the meat are chopped and together with the bones are made into curry.

Rabbit satay serving is similar to that of the other satay. It is also accompanied by peanut sauce mixed with slices of garlic and onion, added with sweet ketchup and lime juice. In Kaliurang, it is usually served with warm rice and a glass of Kaliurang special beverage called bandrek. Sometimes, people eat the satay with jadah tempe which is also another special culinary from Kaliurang.

Rabbit meat contains a substance called kitotefin compounds and other substances like omega-three and omega-nine fatty acids to heal asthma. Moreover, rabbit meat stabilizes mastosit cell membrane and stimulates the formation of immunity system which coheres the matrosit cell in the body.
