Tonight I am going to a "bring some snacks" party. So I am making peanut dip so that I will be willing to eat the raw vegetables I am bring with it. Here are my raw ingredients. I was guessing as I mixed and it came out lovely - if I do say so myself!
Okay, it is probably apparent that I like to put things in little bowls before I mix them. I narrowed the ingredients down to peanut butter, lime juice, hoison sauce, scallions and hot sauce.
Oh yeah, and vegetables... I have asparagus, baby carrots (so young and so delicious!), red pepper strips, grape tomatoes, celery and cukes.
And I mercilessly chopped them up. Although I could have done more damage to the celery, I suppose. I mixed all those ingredients with a whisk and some water and it came out beautifully. Of course I was so excited that I forgot to take pictures of that part. It was really awesome. You should have seen it!
Here is the recipe - more or less:
3/4 cup chunky peanut butter
juice of one lime
2 Tbsp. hoison sauce
1 cup lukewarm water (mixes better)
hot sauce to taste
Mix it up with the whisk of doom and dip veggies in it.
Don't say "put things into little bowls" say "mise en place" and it sounds all French and cheffy. But yeah, little bowls FTW.
