2 tbs. peanut oil
2 red onions, chopped
3 large cloves of garlic, chopped
1 cup toasted peanuts, finely chopped
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup water
3 tbs. lime juice
1/2 tsp. sassafras root bark (cambium) or cinnamon, ground
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. liquid stevia

1. Saute the onions and garlic in the peanut oil 10 minutes.

2. Add the remaining ingredients, bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes.

3. Puree in a blender or food processor if you prefer a smoother sauce (optional).

Serve hot or at room temperature. You can cook vegetables or tofu in this sauce, or pour it over previously-cooked food.
