Well my new job has keep me quite busy and out of the kitchen, but this week I had a chance to work on a few new recipes – and here are the results from one of them.  Swimming Angel is a popular Thai restaurant dish with steamed spinach, white rice, and a stir fried protein (and maybe some vegetables), covered in a spicy, yet sweet peanut sauce. There is a reason why this dish is popular, it is wonderfully delicious when done well. I think the key aspect of this dish is the sauce – slightly spicy, slightly sweet, slightly nutty, and silky smooth. I researched this sauce once in the past and this simple recipe produces the results I desire. The ingredients are just coconut cream, red curry paste, natural peanut butter, honey, grated ginger, grated lemongrass, and grated garlic. To make it, whisk together and gently heat to a light simmer to keep the peanut butter from breaking. Serve this sauce warm with satay, swimming angel, and many other Thai inspired dishes. You will love it once you make it… and it will become a favorite.

Here are the pictures of this dish – made with prawns, because that was all I had available – I told you things have been busy!

Enjoy!
