Peanut Dip Recipe: Combine Ingredients

Video Transcript

"I'm putting it in the food processor. If you didn't have a food processor you certainly could make the same recipe using a blender. So I have a cup of peanut butter. To that I'm going to add 4 tablespoons of Tomari. Basically Tomari is just an organic brand of soy sauce that you can find in just about every whole foods market or health food store. The reason I use Tomari is many of the people that I cook for have wheat sensitivities or for whatever reason are trying to avoid wheat so it tastes just like soy sauce. It is low sodium but it has no wheat in it but if you don't have a problem with wheat feel free to substitute any soy sauce you want, 4 tablespoons. I've got 2 tablespoons of pure organic maple syrup and this is for the sweet. You could use agave which is a low glycemic sweetener. I like the flavor of maple in this recipe. It just does something a little bit more than agave can for me in this. It has a very distinct, more rich flavor but of course you could use another sweetener. I prefer to use anything but white sugar. There is really only two things other than of course meat, eggs, fish, dairy products and eggs that I don't use and one of them is white sugar. You'll never see me using white sugar and you'll never see me using white flour and I use very little wheat if at all but you could try rice syrup in this. I tend to like the more macrobiotic type sweeteners, the gentler ones that are less refined. Maple syrup is certainly less refined than white sugar. It has nutrients and vitamins in it but it also has a really great taste and basically I'm a chief first and so I'm going to go for taste and so 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Now I say garlic to taste because everybody likes things different heat, different spicy, different salty. I'm putting in 4 cloves and you really, even if you follow a recipe you still have to taste what you are making because first of all, garlic cloves, if I say 4 cloves sometimes cloves are really really fat and sometimes they are really really thin like look at this one this is a big old fat clove and what is great now is you can buy cloves unpeeled, you don't even have to do that yourself any more. I like garlic and I am putting 4 cloves in, you can almost even omit it if you want. But you know taste, add a little bit, taste it. If you don't like it, I make this all the time. I'm putting in 4."
