What happened to summer?! I hope you spent it spooning no-cook sauces over everything that crossed your plate. I know I did! For the final installment of my very saucy diary, I’ll leave you with a concoction that will serve you well as transition to hearty stir-fries, school lunches and quick weeknight dinners. Inspired by the bold, aromatic flavors of Indonesia, this zingy peanut sauce enlivens everything it touches.
Sweet and Spicy Peanut Sauce
For a chewy change of pace, try using crunchy peanut butter instead of smooth.
Ingredients
6 tablespoons unsalted creamy peanut butter
6 tablespoons light coconut milk
3 tablespoons minced shallots
4 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon grated lime rind
4 teaspoons fresh lime juice
4 teaspoons lower-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons Sriracha (hot chile sauce)
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger
Preparation
Combine all ingredients in a bowl, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Refrigerate up to 1 week.
Uses
1. As a dipper for chicken satay, or veggie sticks
2. Drizzled over butter lettuce and shredded carrot for an Asian-style side salad
3. On a wrap with sliced grilled chicken and cucumber.
4. Tossed with cooked rice noodles, sautéed shrimp, cilantro and bean sprouts for a quick Pad Thai.
5. Mixed with the ground turkey (50/50 light and dark meat makes the best burgers) for a flavorful patty.
