Peanut Sauce
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried hot red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon tomato paste*
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons soy sauce or Braggs
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup water
A sauce defines the flavors and brings the different elements together. I have been trying to perfect a peanut sauce for quite some time. Tonight I served the sauce with grilled tofu.
* I personally like the Harissa du Cap Bon brand "El Manara d Djerba"
