Peanut Sauce

After trying all kinds of recipes for a basic sauce, this is my own version. My boys will eat almost any veggie stir-fried or blanched and served with this sauce! I use a coffee grinder set aside especially for nuts. You can use a blender or handheld nut chopper. It has a great texture smooth or chunky. I like to offer chopped cilantro and lime zest or juice when dishing up the veggies, meat or noodles and sauce.
