Thai Peanut (WFPBNOGF)
Prep Time
Cooking Time
Yields
Serves 4
Ingredients
1 large clove garlic
2 tbsp toasted ground sesame seeds
3 tbsp natural smooth peanut butter or almond butter
2 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)
3 tbsp fresh lime juice, plus more as needed
2 tbsp plus 1 tsp low-sodium tamari
1 to 2 teaspoons granulated sugar or 2-4 teaspoons Erythritol* (see Dr. Greger's notes on Erythritol, derived from fruit, much healthier than sugar at 95% fewer calories and none of the insulin effects of sugar.)
Directions
Make the Thai Peanut Sauce in a mini or regular food processor: combine the garlic, ground toasted sesame seeds, peanut or almond butter, ginger (if using), lime juice, tamari, sugar (if using), and 2 to 3 tbsp. water. Process until combined.
Notes
*Erythritol can be purchased from Amazon online. I use it 1/4 cup to 1 cup water in whole wheat muffins as well instead of apple juice simply because it provides sweetness without putting your pancreas to work.
