I love peanut sauce. Especially over chicken over shrimp dishes. It also makes a fabulous dipping sauce! I’ve had many unsuccessful attempts making sugar free, dairy free, peanut sauce, until I finally got it right with this recipe.

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup of unsweetened peanut butter (find the peanut butter with peanuts as the only ingredient, ideally).
• 2 Tsp soy sauce (low sodium)
• 1 Tbsp agave nectar
• 1 Tbsp lemon or lime juice
• 1/4 cup of water
• 3 Tbsp rice vinegar
• 2 Tbsp olive or grapeseed oil
• red chili flakes, to taste or 1 clove crushed garlic

Preparation

Combine all ingredients in a blender and blend at medium speed for a minute or two, or until smooth. Depending on how stiff your peanut butter is, you may need to add more water to blend the mixture properly. If necessary, add an additional 1/4 cup of water. Transfer the sauce to a small pan and heat over medium heat until the sauce thickens and bubbles.
