This recipe is DELICIOUS!!! I adapted the recipe from Ina Garten's The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook adding cilantro, which I love, and lowering the sugar content so it would compliment the sweet coconut of the coconut chicken without overpowering the mouth with sweetness. There are lots of ingredients. So measure them all out first and then this recipe is a snap!!
1 - 2 TBS Extra Virgin Olive Oil 1 TBS Sesame Oil 2/3 Cup red onion diced small 1 1/2 tsp. minced garlic 1/4 tsp or more crushed red pepper flakes 2 TBS each of Red wine vinegar, light soy sauce and dry sherry 2 TBS brown sugar 2 TBS Ketchup 1/2 Cup smooth peanut butter 2 tsp fresh lime juice 1/4 cup cilantro leaves chopped coarsely chopped peanuts for garnish Cook first 5 ingredients in a heavy saucepan on med low heat until onions soften (10 minutes). Dump in remaining ingredients and whisk smooth. Add warm water if too thick. Garnish with peanuts, extra cilantro and an extra splash of lime. Easy, eh? |
