the most amazing (and easy!!!) peanut sauce! lifechanging!


“I've long believed that good food, good eating, is all about risk. Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton, raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,' food, for me, has always been an adventure” ~Anthony Bourdain


are you ready to make one of the easiest recipes for a delicious lunch/dinner that will take you less than 5 minutes to make and take less than 6 ingredients (which you probably already have in your possession?) this is one of the first things we learned to make when I moved to seattle...it has made many a dinner after a long day of work and it never fails to make my soul sing.

special thanks to the LVC cookbook for this gem, and to the folks at Holden Village for the inspiration...

strap in.
your taste buds are about to go on a life-changing and wild ride that you will never forget.
are you ready?

all systems go. (thanks rachel).

3 tablespoons peanut butter (chunky preferred)
3 tablespoons milk or water
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 to 3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
(optional: bay leaf that you would remove before using and 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper if you like a little heat....)

stir together the first 2 ingredients to make a paste. mix everything else and lets stand several hours to blend (or, if you are more impatient, 30 seconds). serve over hot pasta and steamed or stir-fried vegetables. choose one, or use a combination.

enjoy!
until next time ;)
