This is a quick peanut sauce. I personally enjoy making a traditional Indonesian peanut sauce, but that can take up to an hour. In just a few minutes you can have a delicious sauce, so I will cheat every now and then.
The heat in this sauce comes from the fire roasted peppers I bought from Ollin Farms. If you don’t have peppers like these, you will need to substitute with chili peppers or hot sauce.
Ingredients:
- 1 TB peanut oil
- 1 small yellow onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 large fire roasted peppers, chopped
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (please use the real stuff- nothing with an ingredient list that goes beyond peanuts and salt)
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 TB soy sauce
In a sauce pan, heat the peanut oil to medium high heat. Add the onion and saute until golden brown. Add the garlic and cook another couple minutes, making sure nothing is sticking or burning. Then add the rest of the ingredients, one by one, stirring well as you go along. That’s it for the sauce.
I added veggies to mine, and I prefer my fresh veggies to be more raw than cooked, I basically just coated some green beans from Ollin Farm and some local carrot (chopped) in the hot peanut sauce. I also sautéed some shrimp in peanut oil for 3-4 minutes and added them to the veggies. This is optional. You can add whatever vegetables you want, so, experiment.
