Pork Shish Kebab With Soy-Nut Butter Sauce

[ad_1]

I came up with this recipe mainly for two reasons. First, the salmonella scare regarding peanut butter. This recipe uses soy-nut butter which emulates the taste of peanut butter. Second, there is a substantial amount of the population that have peanut allergies. That being said, this recipe should have more curb appeal.

A little bit about soy; it contains a significant amount of essential amino acids and therefore a good source of protein. Soybeans are used as a main ingredient in many processed foods, and also used to replace dairy. So, if you think that you don’t consume soy on any given level you may want to think again.

If you’re wondering if this can be cooked under a broiler, it can, just set your broiler to high and keep the skewers 3-4 inches away. That being said, this dish can be enjoyed all year long. Give this recipe a try, it’s versatile and provides a peanut butter flavor without the drawbacks of consuming peanut butter.
