Who doesn’t like peanut sauce? Well yes, I suppose those who are allergic to peanuts but if you are not allergic, you are in for a treat. I warn you, this easy peezy sauce is addictive and it can be used as a dip for shrimp salad rolls as shown here or drizzled over steamed vegetables and rice, BBQ salmon, chicken skewers and SO, MUCH, MORE!!!
Yield: 1 cup
Ingredients
½ cup crunchy peanut butter (only peanuts and salt)
½ teaspoon ginger (minced)
2 teaspoons garlic (minced)
2-3 tablespoons raw honey
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon coconut oil
½ cup coconut mylk
⅓ to ½ cup water
½ teaspoon salt (may need more salt depending on the brand of peanut butter)
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil (added at the end)
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (added at the end)
Method
In a small sauce pot, heat the coconut oil and sauté the garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the lime juice and sesame oil. Whisk together and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from the stove and add the lime juice and sesame oil. Season with salt if needed and more water if it’s too thick for your liking.
* Refrigeration will make the sauce thick, you can reheat it quickly or just allow it to sit on your counter and get to room temperature.
