Spicy Peanut Dip Recipes

SPICY PEANUT DIP

Steps:

• Preheat a skillet over medium. Add oil hot (it should glisten). Add red curry paste and cook for a few minutes, until nice and aromatic. This is called "blooming" the spices in the paste and will make them more flavorful. Stir so that the paste does not stick for about 3 minutes.
• Add coconut milk and bring mixture to a simmer. Let reduce over low heat until slightly thickened, about 3 more minutes.
• Remove from heat and whisk in peanut butter, vinegar, lime juice, tamari, maple syrup, and grated ginger. Add salt to taste, 1/2 - 2 tsp. Let cool in the fridge (or freezer if you're in a rush) until mixture thickens. To serve, top with red pepper flakes and fresh basil. Plate with fresh vegetables and chips! Dip can be stored in the fridge for 4 days in a sealed container. Best served cold.

Thin dip with more broth by tablespoonfuls if needed. Serve dip chilled or at room temperature.
