Add a photoThis sauce evolved from two days of tinkering so the seasonings may need to be tweaked to suit your taste. But if you like a peanut sauce with a delayed kick and some complexity, this is for you!
You can finish the peanut sauce and use it for vegetables, seafood or any other purpose by simply adding the tomato sauce and skipping the chicken steps. It's delicious hot or cold, as a dip or a sauce.

- 1/2 cup of water

- 1 tsp honey
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp red chilli pepper flakes

- In medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients EXCEPT the water, brown sugar, tomato sauce, and half of the coconut milk.
- In medium sauce pan, heat the water and dissolve the brown sugar, stirring frequently until mixture is very hot but not boiling.
- Add mixture from bowl and combine ingredients, bringing to a low boil.
- Continue cooking on low heat. Sauce will thicken. Stir frequently.
- Drain off any oil that separates on top until no more oil appears.
- Remove mixture from heat, continue to stir, let cool.
- Pour remaining half of the coconut milk in a blender and add a splash of water.
- Using a spatula, add cooked mixture to blender and blend on high speed for about 30 seconds.
- Heat about 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet and add chicken, seasoning with the freshly ground sea salt and pepper. Cook a few minutes on each side to give chicken some color. Reduce heat to low-medium.
- Pour peanut sauce from blender into skillet. Slowly stir in the can of tomato sauce and mix well. Allow to bubble but stir frequently and spoon mixture over chicken. Reduce heat to low or simmer.
- Cover and continue cooking over low heat for about 15 minutes. Stir frequently and add spices to taste. Sauce can be thinned/tamed with water (or more coconut milk), if desired.
- Serve with steamed rice, noodles or vegetables. Leftover sauce may be stored in the fridge when cooled.
