It is my pleasure to share this incredibly delicious sauce adapted from fellow Cleveland blogger, Healthy Girls Kitchen. You know, you can make a nice brown rice bowl with steamed vegetables and cubes of tofu or chicken, and then sprinkled with a little sea salt. Or you can turn it from great to unforgettable with this unbelievable sauce. The sauce is also great on salad. Or straight from a spoon if you’re desperate.
- 1/3 cup pitted dates
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 3 Tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 1/2″ piece of raw ginger, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1 Tbsp tamari
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/2 cup water
Put the dates in a shallow bowl, cover them with warm water, and allow to soak for 10-30 minutes. Then put all the ingredients, including the date liquid, into a blender or food processor and liquefy. If necessary, add more water by the teaspoonful to thin the sauce to the desired consistency.
This sauce is just incredible. It’s sweet, it’s salty, it’s sour, it’s spicy, it’s umami, it’s everything.
