Coconut Peanut Sauce

October 1, 2007 at 10:31 am | In recipe |

Serve with your favorite steamed veggies, rice, or pasta. crispy tofu would love being smeared with this, too.

1 t peanut oil
1 small shallot, finely minced
2 garlic cloves, grated
1 t ginger powder
1 T curry powder
2 t cumin powder
1 t dried cilantro
1 T arrowroot powder
1 (13.5 ounces) can light coconut milk
1/3 cup chunky, natural peanut butter
2 T Braggs or soy sauce
2 T agave nectar
1/4 cup vegetable broth

In a medium saucepan on medium heat, heat oil. Add shallot, garlic and cook until tender and fragrant.
Lower temperature and add spices, arrowroot. cook for another minute, until fragrant.
Add coconut milk, peanut butter, Braggs, agave, and broth.
Bring to a boil, whisking a few times. Lower temperature to medium, and cook on a low boil until reduced a bit, about 10 minutes.

  1. wow, coconut/rosewater/cardamom = such an exotic combination of flavors… I love it!! and that icing is PERFECT for a “bloody” Halloween treat ;0)

    I’ve actually never had curry sauce before… is it spicy? sweet? none of the above? haha. it actually looks kind of “creamy” in the picture above; like a mac & “cheese” dish…

    while your pumpkin-bun-sandwich-fillings sound tasty, I don’t believe I’ll ever adapt to the taste/smell of Vegemite, haha. more power to you! :0D

  2. I’ll post the recipe for the coconut thingie if you’d like! I want to make sure both the husband and myself love it before, of course.
    this curry sauce isn’t spicy, I used mild curry powder; but if you were to add green curry paste or a stronger curry powder, it’d definitely do the trick. it’s rather creamy, rich, and satisfying. give it a try! it’s definitely worth it.
    yeah Vegemite and co really have a flavor of their own. I’ve grown up on the stuff I guess that’s why I like it. wouldn’t cross an ocean for it, but hey. ;p
