This is great for livening up chicken or pork, especially for those who are not big chicken fans. It works well as a condiment for stir fry, or over oriental noodles.

1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons of peanut butter
Juice of one half lime
3 Tablespoons water
2 Tablespoons soy
2 cloves garlic minced

I place it all in the food processor (or blender), and beat until well mixed.. I recommend making it while dinner is cooking. If you chill it, it will get too thick to use.

Peanut butter is one of Americas staple foods found in about 75% of households. It is an excellent source of protein, B3, E and the antioxidant p-coumaric acid. The Incas had peanuts which they also used in a paste form giving us the first known peanut butter.
