gatot


Gatot, hitam lebih menggoda



Gatot, sebuah makanan ringan atau jajanan khas gunungkidul. Gatot biasa dikonsumsi untuk menemani acara minum teh atau kopi. Sering dihidangkan untuk menjamu tamu yang berkunjung. Dulu, gatot dibuat untuk konsumsi pribadi, namun sekarang sudah menjadi komoditi yang diperjual belikan. Gatot dapat dijumpai di pasar-pasar tradisional atau pusat oleh-oleh Gunungkidul.

Gatot adalah makanan yang terbuat dari gaplek (ketela/singkong yang dikeringkan) sama dengan tiwul. Ketela yang telah dikupas kemudian dijemur untuk dikeringkan sehingga menjadi gaplek. Namun untuk membuat gatot berkualitas, bukan sembarang gaplek yang dipakai. Para pedagang gatot yang biasanya merangkap sebagai pembuat (produsen) menggunakan gaplek yang (sengaja) dihujan-hujankan. Tujuannya untuk mendapatkan warna hitam khas gatot. "gatot ingkang sekeco ingkang wernan'e ireng" ujar mbah Mijem, salah satu penjual gatot di pasar Playen. Untuk mengantisipasi musim kemarau, maka biasanya pembuat gatot mempunyai stok bahan (gaplek yang kehujanan).

Cara pembuatan gatot sangat sederhana. Gatot yang sudah kering direndam selama 12 jam (semalam). Setelah dicuci bersih, gaplek dipotong kecil-kecil sesuai ukuran gatot, kemudian ditanak/dikukus selama sekitar 2 jam. Setelah masak, gatot ditempatkan di suatu wadah yang lebar biar cepat dingin. Untuk menghidangkan, gatot ditaburi dengan parutan kelapa ditambah sedikit gula dan garam. Perpaduan rasa kenyal gatot bercampur sedikit manis dan asin menambah eksotisme rasa makanan khas Gunungkidul ini.
