Ree Drummond Peanut Sauce Food

PEANUT CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI SHEET PAN SUPPER

Steps:

• Make a peanut sauce: Pour the honey, peanut butter, soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce into a large bowl along with the cayenne pepper, garlic, lime juice and 1/4 cup of olive oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then whisk together. Reserve 1/2 cup in a small bowl for serving.
• Add the chicken thighs and drumsticks to the large bowl with the remaining sauce and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and line a baking sheet with foil. Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on the baking sheet.
• Add the broccoli to a bowl and toss with the remaining tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Place on the sheet pan with the chicken, then bake until the broccoli is tender and golden brown in spots, the chicken is crisp and the internal temperature is 165 degrees F, about 30 minutes. Serve the chicken with the broccoli and rice. Sprinkle with the scallions and serve with the lime wedges and reserved peanut sauce.

BEEF NOODLE SALAD BOWLS WITH PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• For the beef and dressing: Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium-high heat.
• Season both sides of the steak with salt. Grill until medium rare, about 4 minutes per side. Set aside.
• To make the dressing, combine the ponzu (or soy sauce), sesame oil, olive oil, vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, hot chili oil and garlic in a bowl. Mix to combine, then taste and adjust the flavors/seasonings.
• When the steak is cool enough, place in a large resealable plastic bag. Add 3 tablespoons of the dressing. Seal the bag tightly and place in the fridge until needed.
• Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the noodles according to the package directions. Drain and place in a bowl. Pour the remaining dressing over the top and toss to combine. Finally, toss in the green onions. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours or until cool. You can make the steak and noodles well in advance of when you want to serve them.
• For the peanut sauce: Heat the vegetable oil in a small pot over low heat. Add the curry powder, garlic, shallot and ginger and cook until the aromatics soften, about 5 minutes.
• Scrape into a blender and add the coconut milk, soy sauce, brown sugar, peanut butter, hot chili oil, lime juice and a pinch of salt. Blend, adding hot water as needed a little at a time to thin it and make it smooth.
• To serve, slice the steak against the grain into thin strips. Drizzle a little ponzu (or soy sauce) over the noodles, just to give them a little flavor boost, throw in the chopped cilantro and toss to combine. Serve the strips of beef over a mound of noodles, or throw it all into a bowl together. Put some of the peanut sauce into small bowls and serve on the side--to be poured over when you eat.

PEANUT CHICKEN PASTA

Steps:

• Add the vegetable oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper and add to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and mostly cooked through, about 8 minutes.
• Add the green beans and saute until slightly brown but still bright green, about 2 more minutes.
• Cook the pasta to al dente according to the directions on the package.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Whisk together the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, sugar, chile oil, lime juice and 1/3 cup water in a medium bowl or large measuring cup (the peanut butter will not fully incorporate). Set aside.
• Add the ginger and garlic to the skillet with the chicken and beans. Cook until fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Add the curry powder and stir until toasted, about 20 seconds.
• Pour the coconut milk mixture into the skillet, making sure to get all of the peanut butter out of the bowl. Scrape any browned bits off the bottom of the skillet and cook until the sauce boils and thickens slightly, about 4 minutes.
• Drain the pasta and pour into the skillet, then carefully toss to coat. Gently tip the pasta onto a serving platter. Garnish with peanuts, cilantro and lime wedges.
