Preparation Time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Yield: About 2 cups
Ingredients
1 cup smooth natural peanut butter
3/4 cup full-fat coconut milk
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
4 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated.
2 cloves of garlic, minced.
2 tablespoons high-quality CBD oil
A dash of red pepper flakes (optional)
Salt to taste
Water to thin (as needed)
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter and coconut milk. Stir until they blend smoothly.
- Incorporate the lime juice, soy sauce, and honey or agave into the saucepan, stirring until the mixture is well combined.
- Add the grated ginger and minced garlic, stirring consistently to ensure they’re well distributed throughout the sauce.
- Slowly whisk in the CBD oil, making sure it is evenly integrated. It’s essential to maintain low heat to prevent the CBD oil from evaporating, thus preserving its wellness attributes.
- If the sauce is too thick for your liking, feel free to thin it with a bit of water. Do this gradually, adding only a tablespoon at a time to avoid making it too runny.
- If you like a bit of heat, now is the time to add your dash of red pepper flakes. Finally, season with salt to taste.
- Once your sauce is perfectly seasoned and at your desired consistency, remove from heat. Allow it to cool before serving or storing.
Conclusion
There you have it! A delectably nutty and subtly earthy CBD-infused peanut sauce that pairs brilliantly with just about anything — from satay skewers to grilled veggies, and even salads. In addition to its gastronomical value, this sauce is designed to help you achieve a state of Zen, courtesy of the CBD infusion. Enjoy it mindfully and savor each nuanced flavor. Happy cooking!
