Dana Delish's Easy Blender Peanut Sauce


(good for your tiny kitchen! one appliance!)

4 cloves garlic
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup ketchup
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tbsp peanut or veg oil
4 tsp chopped fresh ginger
1 tsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp sesame oil
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper

Chop the garlic in the blender first, then add all of the rest of the ingredients, pulsing until combined.

Obviously this makes a TON. But take your grill pan and make some chicken skewers on it (chicken breasts and thighs in bite size chucks and veggies--remember to soak the wooden skewers first or they'll catch on fire!)

You can refridgerate the rest for up to a week...but it won't last that long...it's SO FLIPPIN GOOD!

THANKS TO DANA OSTERMAN FOR CONTRIBUTING THIS RECIPE!!

Another handy use for the blender, which finally dawned on me on an embarassingly recent evening, is for making graham-cracker crusts. Just break up the crackers into eight pieces or so and put them in the blender, a couple of crackers' worth at a time. I just pulse them - it seem s to work better than putting them on a particular setting.
