One of the first people we met when we moved to Cambria was Chef Ian Mc Phee.  His restaurant, IAN’S, was one of our favorites.  It has since closed and Ian now owns and operates McPhee’s Grill in Templeton.  Anyway, he served this sauce and I thought it was about the best thing I had ever tasted.  I tried to copy it but could not quite get it right.  And Ian wouldn’t give it to me.  One day I was talking food with my gardener and I was whining about not being able to get Ian’s peanut sauce recipe.  She said: “Oh, I have that and I’ll be happy to give it to you.” I have no idea how she got this recipe but here it is in all its glory.  And, it’s still the best spicy peanut sauce I’ve ever tasted.
 
Spicy Peanut Sauce
INGREDIENTS
½ cup salad oil
2 tsp water
1 tsp fresh grated ginger
4 cloves garlic, chopped
¼ cup rice wine vinegar
½ cup fresh lemon juice
½ cup soy sauce
½ cup peanut butter
½ tsp red pepper flakes
½ cup fresh cilantro
 
METHOD
Put all ingredients in a blender and mix well.  Adjust amount of red pepper flakes for degree of heat you want.  I like to make the sauce several hours ahead and let it sit  to let the flavors mix.  Can be used warm or cold
Next month I’ll give you a recipe for a great cold pasta salad using this sauce.  So stay tuned.
