Who ever heard of a fabulicious Thai Peanut Sauce with no peanuts! Ha Ha! Instead of peanuts it uses nut butters. Choose between almond, cashew, or sunflower butter, whisk with a few spices and you have a divine sauce in less than a minute. Tasty, sweet, and slightly spicy, it makes an incredibly delicious dip for Chicken Satay, sautéed veggies, spring rolls, or a raw vegetables. Use it as a marinade or dressing for chicken and meats. Unlike most peanut sauces, it’s free of sugar and nightshades! Yay!
Since peanuts are legumes, they’re not considered part of the Paleo Diet. I agree. Peanuts are also high in molds from the ground, which create aflatoxins, tasteless carcinogenic compounds released by the molds. So I stay away from peanuts and peanut butter. Check out my yummy recipe for Homemade Nut Butters in Minutes using a superblender. I make nut butters with sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, coconut flakes – just about anything except peanuts. This Peanut-free sauce is Paleo and raw, made without gluten, grain, sugar, animal products, or nightshades. Just stir and serve. Makes 1 cup sauce.
