About this dish

Coto Makassar or Coto Mangkasara (Makassarese), is an Indonesian traditional soup originating from Makassar, South Sulawesi. It is a variant of soto, traditionally made with beef, offal stew with seasoned broth made from ground peanuts and spices. The main ingredient of this soup is beef, and it can be mixed with innards, such as intestine, liver, lungs, heart, tripe, or cow brain. The spices are used both for flavouring, and to balance the richness of the meat. The soup originates in the 16th-century in the Sultanate of Gowa, and was originally cooked for royal servants and soldiers. While it is now eaten regularly as a breakfast food in the region, it retains an association with weddings and religious celebrations. Coto Makassar is usually served with Burasa or Ketupat rice cakes and Tauco sauce, a savoury fermented soybean paste.
