How to Make Roasted Shallot Peanut Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel and halve 1 pound of shallots. Toss with 1 tablespoon of olive oil on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until shallots are very tender and have released their juices.
  4. Let the shallots cool slightly, then squeeze the pulp from the skins, discarding the skins.
  5. In a food processor or blender, combine the roasted shallot pulp with 1/2 cup peanut butter (smooth or crunchy), 1/4 cup soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, 1/2 teaspoon grated ginger, 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste), and 1/4 cup water.
  6. Blend until completely smooth, adding more water if needed to reach desired consistency.
  7. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more honey/maple syrup for sweetness, soy sauce/tamari for saltiness, or red pepper flakes for heat.
  8. The sauce will keep, covered and refrigerated, for up to one week. Warm gently before serving or serve at room temperature.
