Zucchini Noodles with Spicy Peanut Sauce

Raw Peanut Butter


1/2 Cup Raw Red Skinned Peanuts

Remove the outer red skin from the peanut, this is the most time consuming part of this recipe, it took me 45 minutes to remove skins from the peanut, its so easy to remove the skin, when the peanuts are roasted, but removing skin from the raw peanut is so painful.

1 and 1/2 Tbsp Peanut Oil / Olive Oil
1/8 Tsp Salt


Run peanuts through the omega juicer / food processor / vitamix.

Mix with peanut oil and salt.


Yields: 1/2 Cup + 1 Tbsp
Note: I used omega 8004 to make peanut butter, its so easy to make peanut butter. Also my peanut oil was over, so I used olive oil.

Coconut Milk


1 Cup Coconut
1 Cup Water

Blend coconut and water in vitamin and filter using nut milk bag to make coconut milk.


Yields: ??? Cups Coconut Milk
Note: I used 2 Cups of water to make coconut milk and it yields 2 and 3/4 Cup of Coconut Milk, I think using 1 cup of water would yield much thicker and less coconut milk, which is enough for this recipe

Noodles


4 X-Large Zuccchini, Spiralized


Add Ons

1 Cup Organic Spinach, Chopped
1 Cup Organic Red Bell Peppers, Chopped into Small Strips


Sauce


1 Cup Homemade Coconut Milk (or 1 can organic full-fat coconut milk)
1/2 Cup Organic Peanut Butter
1 Tbsp Organic Cilantro
1 Small Clove Organic Garlic, Chopped
1 and 1/4 Tsp Organic Red Pepper Flakes
1 Tsp Himalayan Pink Salt
1 Tbsp Organic Extra-Virgin Olive Oil


Prepare the sauce: add all ingredient for the sauce to a Vitamix, or other blender, and blend until it's creamy and smooth. 

Add the zucchini noodles and veggies to a medium sized bowl, then pour the sauce over the top and gently stir until it is evenly distributed.

Optional: garnish with extra chopped spinach and/or red bell pepper strips.


Taste Note: Tastes GREAT
Serves: 2

Notes: Original recipe asked for 1 jalapeno and 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes. I think its good to do like that.
