*Or use crunchy peanut butter without additives.

Use with Sate Hati Sapi (Ox Liver and Heart Sate). This sauce can be poured over the sate after the sate has been arranged on a dish. Alternatively the sauce may be served individually in small bowls, one for each person, who dips his skewer of sate in his bowl before eating.
