Peanut Sauce!

We spent the weekend with great friends- in preparation for Kate Emma's shower. Saturday nite dinner I wanted to do a chicken satay- but peanut sauce is always a problem for me since I can't eat soy and it usually has soy sauce- which also contains wheat. Well- finally- I hit upon the right combo and everyone liked it. So- here it is:

Peanut Sauce- Spicy


1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy- use a good, natural brand)
1/4 cup organic chicken broth (vegetable broth could be used here as well)
3 Tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
1 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons of minced ginger- or powdered ginger- 1 teaspoon
1-2 tablespoons organic tomato paste
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon red curry paste
1 shallot - peeled and chopped
water, to thin out as needed (or use more broth)

Mix all ingredients together and store in the fridge. You can make the sauce ahead of time and keep for up to 4 days.

I just might name this one for Kate Emma- it's that good!

That sauce looks great. I'll have to give it a whirl...I found another GF site, maybe you've seen it before, but just in case:

I think your sauce sounds yummy. Can you eat fish sauce? It is nasty by itself, but a little bit of it in here with the worchestershire might bring it a little closer to the soy taste you miss.

I have a new gf site -- please visit. I'm new at this and am just posting ideas and recipes.
