Kikil/Kulit Sapi in Spicy Peanut Sauce

Ingredients:

• 500 grams of kikil (beef skin), pre-cooked
• 1 cup roasted peanuts, ground
• 4 cloves garlic
• 4 shallots
• 3-4 red chilies (adjust to taste)
• 2 tablespoons kecap manis (sweet soy sauce)
• 1 teaspoon ginger, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon seasoning powder (optional)
• Salt, to taste
• Water, as needed

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Kikil:
   Begin by boiling the pre-cooked kikil in water for approximately 5 minutes to ensure it is tender and properly heated. Once boiled, remove the kikil from the water and set aside.

2. Prepare the Spice Paste:
   In a blender or food processor, combine the garlic, shallots, and red chilies. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste.

3. Cook the Spice Paste:
   Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the blended spice paste and sauté until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

4. Combine with Peanuts:
   Add water to the pan with the spice paste, just enough to create a smooth sauce. Stir in the ground peanuts, ensuring they are fully incorporated into the mixture and that no lumps remain.

5. Add Kikil:
   Gently fold in the pre-cooked kikil into the peanut sauce. Stir well to ensure that the kikil is evenly coated with the sauce.

6. Season the Dish:
   Add the kecap manis (sweet soy sauce), sugar, seasoning powder (if using), and salt to taste. Stir thoroughly and allow the dish to simmer until the sauce has thickened and the kikil is well coated, approximately 10-15 minutes.

7. Final Adjustments:
   Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning as needed. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can add a little more water to reach your desired consistency.

8. Serve:
   Once the kikil is well coated with the rich, spicy peanut sauce and the flavors have melded together, remove from heat. Serve hot as a delicious and hearty dish.
