This Thai Peanut Sauce recipe is one of my all-time best. It is ready in under 5 minutes and can be combined with vegetables (love it with broccoli), snacks, or even be the base of a tasty salad dressing. Made with peanut butter, red curry paste, coconut milk, and garlic, it is naturally vegan.
Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbs red curry paste
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup water to thin
- 1/2 cup basil, freshly chopped
- salt, pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a bowl combine peanut butter, garlic, Thai red curry paste, coconut milk, water, half of the chopped basil. Season with salt and pepper and mix with a spatula until everything well combined. Garnish with the rest basil on top.
Notes
You can also make this sauce in a blender or food processor, or with an immersion blender. However, I strongly recommend that you do not add the basil from the start – it will make the sauce green. Just add half of the given amount right before the end, and just pulse the mix 1 or 2 times.
