Thai peanut sauce

Thai peanut sauce (adapted from Sprouted Kitchen)

Ingredients:

2 cloves garlic

1 thumb sized nub fresh ginger, peeled

zest and juice of two limes

1 jalapeno, seeds can be removed for less heat or left in for more heat

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup

3 tablespoons soy sauce, or tamari

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

¾ cup creamy peanut butter

4 tablespoons coconut milk or water, to thin the sauce

1 handful cilantro

1 small handful basil leaves

Method: Blend all ingredients in food processor or blender,  except the fresh herbs. Add more coconut milk/water to thin the sauce more if desired. Finally, add in fresh herbs and pulse until they’re a consistency you like.

-This sauce is delicious on top of white or brown rice, soba noodles, or even quinoa! We like it with a mixture of whatever vegetables are in season. A mixture of raw, thinly sliced vegetables along with quickly sautéed vegetables is delicious!This is a wonderful meal to have leftover the following day, just double the sauce ingredients and cook up a big batch of grains for future meals.
