This recipe is for chicken, but I think that you could also use it to marinate salmon. I would just add some lemon juice to it.

Directions:

Heat oils in a saucepan until very hot but not smoking. Add red pepper. Cover and let stand 10 minutes or so. Add garlic, tamari, and lemon juice. Stir.

Peanut Sauce


Ingredients:

  • *1/4 cup poultry stock
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (I used shoyu)
  • dash of cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
Directions:

In a small saucepan, heat stock. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Store in a tightly covered jar in refrigerator.

Yields about 2/3 cup.

*NOTE: the only poultry stock that I had was in the freezer, and it was a lot more than 1/4 cup. So, since I keep Knorr bouillon cubes (usually beef, tomato, fish and chicken as a staple in my cupboard, I dissolved one in 2 cups boiling water. then I added the 1/4 cup of it and the rest of the ingredients to the sauce pan and went from there.

Serve over hot cooked grains or use as a dip for crisp raw veggies.

Quick Peanut Sauce


Ingredients and Directions:

My daughter loves this combo. (So do I!)

What she does is put the jar of peanut butter in the microwave and warms it enough to be pourable or spoonable.

She tops her food with the peanut butter, and adds garlic powder and either crushed or ground cayenne pepper. Also green onions, sliced thin.

That's it!!
