We seem to be getting a lot of fun little sauces and butters...maybe Sarah's delicious peanut sauce marks the beginning of a new section in the book! Thanks Sarah!

PERFECT PEANUT SAUCE

This deliciously sweet and tangy sauce would be excellent with a variety of entrees, but I like to eat it fairly plain over a bowl of whole wheat pasta.

This recipe makes enough for a whole box of pasta (about 4 servings). In a medium-sized frying pan or sauce pan:

6 tbsp creamy peanut butter

6 tbsp soy sauce

5-6 cloves garlic, finely minced (I use a garlic press)

1/2 cup water

3 tbsp brown sugar

2-3 tbsp lime juice (lemon is good too!)

Stir gently over medium heat until all the peanut butter has melted. At this point bubbles will begin to form and the mixture should slowly darken. Keep stirring until most of the water has burned off and the sauce has thickened, then remove from heat and pour liberally over the meal of your choice. Don't worry, if you made too much, it keeps fairly well in a tupperware in the fridge!
