Versatile hot/spicy/sweet peanut sauce!

[Guest guest]

If you like the flavor of peanuts, try this. It's uses are only

limited by your imagination. Like most of my recipes, the

measurements are a beginning point; you'll find it hard to ruin this

sauce! Most ingredients can be found in your local supermarket.

 

INGREDIENTS...........

1 cup of clear vegetable stock

1/2-3/4 cup peanut butter (I've found the cheaper brands better than

the more expensive " natural " brands for texture/blending

1/4 cup rice vinegar (for more tang, use unfiltered natural apple

cider vinegar)

1/4 cup tamari soy sauce or teriyaki sauce (for sweeter mellower

taste) or split a little of both

1 tbsp ground ginger root (it's gotta be FRESH the dry stuff is no

good!)

1-2 cloves fresh garlic

1-2 drops of liquid stevia (optional, for a sweeter flavor)

1 tsp chili powder

A few shakes of hot sauce (I find Tabasco's Habanero the best because

it imparts a more HOT/SWEET flavor

DIRECTIONS...........

This is the hard part....dump entire contents of ingredients into a

blender and liquify well. pour into a sauce pan and heat carefully,

being careful NOT TO BOIL! Mixture will thicken with heating and you

may add more vegetable stock or water to thin. Heating

does " something " to the mixture making it more aromatic and flavorful.

USES...........

Use as a dipping sauce for pita bread or pour over your favorite

pasta and add in some steamed veggies for a one-course meal. It also

makes an excellent sauce to dip raw veggies or spring rolls into.

Caution, this mixture can be habit-forming! This recipe, more or

less, is my own invention on a common variation. Any questions??

Just ask me. Jeffkukz

I've never heard of stevia. What is liquid stevia, and where does on get

it?
