Eat Veggies, save the planet

John really likes the taste of this peanut sauce. He will pour it on anything. He will even make it himself if I am in the kitchen to advise him. It is a quite thin sauce. I wonder if I left out the orange juice if it would be thicker?

Ingredients

• 3 slices of ginger about 1/4 inch thick
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
• 1/4 cup orange juice or approx 1/2 orange
• juice of one lime, approx. 2 TBSP
• 2 TBSP of soy sauce or Bragg’s liquid Aminos
• 3 TBSP of honey or agave( I used agave
• 2 TBSP of toasted sesame oil
• 1/2 tsp of cayenne (I used 1/8 tsp)
• 1/2 tsp salt ( left out because it seemed the soy sauce or Bragg’s was enough)

Directions

Chop the garlic and ginger. Add all ingredients and blend with a handheld blender. Refrigerate to let the flavors meld.
