Spicy Peanut Sauce

So, it’s been a while. Yikes! Sorry about that – I’ve still been cooking and baking, don’t worry on that front, but it hasn’t really been on weekends. And the light in my apartment is pretty terrible in the evening, so I wasn’t taking pictures. And what’s a cooking blog without pictures?

Boring.

Also, painfully un-updated. Speaking of, I finally updated the Recipe Index. I mean, sure some people enjoy scrolling through 4 months of recipes manually rather than going to a single page with all the recipes I’ve made, but I’m fairly sure they’re in the minority. In any case, it’s finally includes the recipes I’ve made since February.

The picture above is a teaser for next week’s recipe. This is the sauce I used in the pizza, but it’s also great on sandwiches, as a marinade for chicken, and on salads (add a splash of water to make it more liquid). I’m a huge fan of using it on pizzas as you can see, though you’ll never guess how I made it gluten free! 

So make this sauce to have on hand for next week's recipe - you won't regret it!

Spicy Peanut Sauce

This sauce will stay good in the refrigerator for a couple weeks. It’s probably better if you use it all before that, but having once forgotten it in the back of my fridge for close to a month, I am speaking from personal experience that it’s still good.

Ingredients

1/2 cup peanut butter

1/2 cup hoisin sauce

1 tablespoon honey

2 teaspoons red wine vinegar

2 teaspoons minced garlic

2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

2 teaspoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon sriracha

2 tablespoons water

Equipment

Small saucepan

Combine all ingredients in saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and boil gently for one minute. Take off heat and let cool.

Serves many (I typically use 1 serving = 2 tablespoons)
