Sweet and Hot Peanut Sauce

This is my version of 'fast food.' Something I didn't cook from scratch, that I can eat at home, on a day when I've been really busy and need a break from the 2 or 3 of the things in the 'fridge I made in the last few days.

Tonight it was these frozen chicken-vegetable wontons sauteed with 6 big garlic cloves in toasted sesame oil (yes 6!) with 3/4c frozen peas added at the end. As this was coming together I realized I was out of sweet chili sauce, so I put a peanut sauce together in just a few minutes: Combine. . .equal parts of natural peanut butter + jalapeno jelly or jam. Add a big splash of soy sauce to get it to the consistency you want. . .that's all! If it doesn't mix well, 30 seconds in the microwave will help.

Another good addition would have been a spoonful of the really spicy Swad Coriander (cilantro) Chutney - Maybe next time. Bon Appetit! . . . Lin
