Universal Peanut Sauce
I make peanut sauce a lot. Generally we eat it on noodles, but for Thanksgiving I made some that we had with vegtables, which was good. As requested, here is the recipe. It is very very flexible. Start with the following and adjust to your taste.
3 cloves of garlic/about 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger, which is a hunk of peeled ginger root/3 tablespoons white sugar/1 and 1/2 serrano or available hot pepper/healthy dash soy sauce/ half a cup peanut butter, use some kind of natural no sugar variety, it makes it easier to get it to taste the way you want./Vegtable stock to thin/Juice of 1 lime/Big handful of cilantro
Put the first 4 ingredients (garlic, ginger, sugar, pepper) into the cuisinart and blend them until they are mush. Add the soy and the peanut butter and continue to blend, thin with the vegtable stock. Add the lime juice to taste and at the end put the cilantro in and blend on last time for a second or two. Of course if it isn’t hot enough you can add more pepper, or my son douses his with sriracha sauce. You can also make it sweeter by using a sweet peanut butter. My favorite is to make this and use it on chicken salad.

Just copied the Peanut Sauce in hopes that it will lure your father into a few more veggies. Currently his list is limited. Keep fingers crossed
