THAI-STYLE VEGGIE KABOBS WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
Adapted from a NatureSweet Tomato recipe hand-out I picked up at the store. We use this as a side or fun appetizer, so I am putting down 2 kabobs per person for the serving - adjust accordingly, as needed! It's great for grilling season, and makes for a colorful, simple dish. If you like heat, add more crushed red pepper to the sauce!

Steps:
- Using 8 metal skewers or wood skewers that have been soaked into water, alternately thread on the vegetables.
- Grill for about 4 minutes on each side, until veggies are cooked crisp tender.
- Meanwhile, combine all ingredients for the dipping sauce and mix well.
- Serve 2 kabobs per person with the dipping sauce. Another fun way to serve is to plate the kebabs and drizzle a bit of sauce down each kabob, serving with the remaining sauce.
Tips:
- Use creamy peanut butter: Creamy peanut butter will give your sauce a smooth and velvety texture. If you only have chunky peanut butter, you can use a food processor to blend it until smooth.
- Adjust the consistency of the sauce: If you want a thicker sauce, add more peanut butter or coconut milk. If you want a thinner sauce, add more water or broth.
- Add some heat: If you like spicy food, you can add some chili powder, cayenne pepper, or Sriracha sauce to the sauce. Start with a small amount and increase it to taste.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ginger, garlic, and cilantro will give your sauce the best flavor. If you don't have fresh ingredients on hand, you can use dried spices, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Taste the sauce as you go: Adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may need to add more soy sauce, fish sauce, or lime juice to balance the flavors.
Conclusion:
Thai peanut sauce is versatile and can be used as a dipping sauce, marinade, or stir-fry sauce. It's a great way to add flavor and complexity to your favorite dishes. Try experimenting with different ingredients and flavors to create your own unique peanut sauce recipe.
