Harvest Kitchen Thai Peanut Sauce Recipe

November 9, 2018

Our Harvest Kitchen Food Service Manager, Chef Sean Kontos, loves sharing some of his recipes for the home cook.

“For this recipe, I wanted to highlight one of our bigger sellers these day at the café. Our Thai Chicken Wrap has been selling like crazy ever since we put it on the menu last month. The base of the sandwich is a peanut sauce that can be very versatile.

We use the sauce to dress shredded chicken, but it can also be used to marinate chicken before roasting or grilling; as the base of a noodle dish with shredded carrots, bean sprouts, crushed peanuts, and broccoli; or with a little tweaking of the recipe, it can be made into a vinaigrette by upping the vinegar and adding a little sesame and/or other oil to it.”
