Peanut sauce is so good. You can dip salad rolls or veggies in it or you can combine it with steamed or stir fried veggies and rice or noodles for an easy but amazing meal. This peanut sauce is gluten free, soy free, oil free and free of refined sugar. But, wait…there’s more. With a couple easy alterations, this sauce is suitable for those following an anti-inflammatory or elimination diet. This may not seem like a big deal. However, if you are following these diets you know that finding an easy, delicious sauce to add to your meal rotation is a big deal.
Years ago, I did the elimination diet and it changed my life. Have you heard of it? Basically you eliminate the most common allergens from your diet. Eventually you re-introduce these foods (one at a time) to figure out what foods are causing you problems. Soon, I’ll post my experiences with the diet. When I tried the elimination diet, I had been dealing with food intolerances for a long time. I thought I had a handle on everything. I didn’t. I learned so much from doing the elimination diet. I thought I only had issues with gluten and soy but quickly learned that potatoes give me a stomach ache and nightshades in general aren’t that great for me and I can only handle corn in extreme moderation. Peanuts are avoided on both anti-inflammatory diets and on the elimination diet. Using almond butter creates an amazing sauce that works for both of these diets.
Let me know if you try this recipe! My favorite meal with this sauce involves lots and lots of vegetable and rice noodles but I’d love to hear what you come up with!
