Indonesian Pork Roast with Peanut Sauce is a flavorful and aromatic dish that combines the savory richness of pork with the creamy, nutty taste of peanut sauce. This hearty dish is perfect for a special occasion or a comforting family meal. The pork is marinated in a blend of soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) and then roasted until tender. The peanut sauce is made with ground peanuts, coconut milk, garlic, ginger, galangal, turmeric, and a touch of tamarind paste. It is rich, creamy, and slightly spicy, and it perfectly complements the tender pork. This dish is typically served with steamed rice, but it can also be enjoyed with grilled vegetables or a side salad. The article includes recipes for both the pork roast and the peanut sauce, as well as a helpful guide on how to make ketupat, a traditional Indonesian rice dumpling that is often served with this dish.

INDONESIAN PORK ROAST WITH PEANUT SAUCE
This is absolutely a wonderful, lazy Sunday afternoon recipe. The peanut sauce is to die for, you could use it for satays, etc. I order the shoulder roast from my butcher when we need (crave) this meal. Prep time does not include marinading time.

THE BEST INDONESIAN PEANUT SAUCE
This recipe comes from the vegetarian times and is actually a vegan recipe, though I am not either of those things :-). I made this because I just LOVE peanut sauces and this is the best one I have had, not to mention how simple it was to make! I used reduced fat peanut butter and it didn't seem to affect the recipe at all. It will keep up to a week or so in the fridge and personally, I like to either toss it with noodles and chicken or serve it with chicken chunks over brown rice. I don't like things spicy and this was perfect. I also saute the chicken chunks in 1 tsp sesame oil just to enhance the flavor. It makes quite a bit of sauce, I would say it serves 6! Enjoy!

PORK SATAY WITH THAI SPICES AND PEANUT SAUCE
Throughout Southeast Asia, little skewers of marinated meat, grilled over coals, are sold as street snacks. Sweetly fragrant with coconut milk and spices, they are perfect for barbecue parties served with steamed rice, or on their own with drinks, whether grilled indoors or out. You may use pork loin or tenderloin, but marbled sirloin or shoulder is more succulent.

Steps:
- Prepare the skewers: Put pork in a mixing bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together shallot, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cayenne, fish sauce, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar and coconut milk, and pour over meat. Toss with your hands to coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight. Meanwhile, soak 12 bamboo skewers in water.
- Prepare the cucumbers: Put cucumbers in a mixing bowl and season with salt. Add lime juice, sugar, shallots and chiles and toss to coat. Let stand for 15 minutes. Check seasoning, then transfer to a serving dish.
- Prepare the peanut sauce: Pulse the peanuts briefly in a food processor just until finely ground. Add the garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, cayenne and coconut milk, and process until well puréed. Transfer to a bowl, then taste and adjust seasoning. Thin a bit with lime juice or water as desired.
- Thread 2 slices of pork onto each bamboo skewer, keeping the meat as flat as possible. Grill over hot coals, under the broiler or on a stovetop grill pan for 3 minutes on each side, until cooked through and lightly browned. Transfer to a platter and garnish with cilantro and basil leaves. Serve with cucumber relish and peanut sauce.
INDONESIAN PORK SATéS WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
Steps:
- Pork Satés
- To make the satés, mix the garlic, ginger, oil, and ketjap manis in a medium bowl and add the pork cubes. Stir to coat with marinade; set aside. Meanwhile, make the sauce.
- To make satés, thread the pork (4-5 cubes per skewer) onto the soaked wooden skewers. Grill or broil for 2-3 minutes on each side. Serve with the warm peanut sauce and a garnish of sliced radishes or cilantro sprigs.
- Spicy Peanut Sauce
- Place the peanut butter, garlic, chile paste, and ketjap manis in a small pot and warm gently over low heat for about 4 minutes. Stir in the Chicken Stock or water slowly, adding a little at a time; the mixture will thicken after each addition as it warms. This sauce can be made ahead of time and kept warm or rewarmed. You will need to add more liquid when ready to serve, as the peanut butter will thicken while standing. The sauce should have a thick, creamy consistency but be loose enough to stir easily. The seasonings can be adjusted to your personal taste; we like it a little spicy.
