Greens and Peanut Sauce

[Guest guest]

Greens and Peanut SauceYield: 5 to 6 servingsI thought I had discovered something new one day when I put peanut sauce on my greens. Gooey was with me and said, "Big deal, people have been doing that in Africa forever." Why is that Southern? Because many things African have become inherent to southern American culture. Imagine the thrill of a homesick African cook upon finding that peanuts had become a major crop in the South, having come there from Africa. It was the chance to cook up a little bit of home, a mess of greens, peanut sauce, and a hot pepper. These are the roots of soul food.1 bunch greens, cooked according to directions aboveSauce:1/3 cup peanut butter2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil3 tablespoons rice vinegar or Chinese black vinegar2 tablespoons tamari1/4 teaspoon cayenne1 teaspoon sugar1 large clove garlicJuice of 1 lime (optional)Put all the sauce ingredients in a blender, and process until smooth.
