What's your favorite peanut butter-based savory recipe?
I've had sesame noodles and kare kare, an oxtail stew with a peanut broth. Does anyone else have a non-dessert recipe that calls for peanut butter?

The "Groundnut Stew" in Sundays at Moosewood Restaurant is delicious. It is a vegetable stew with a peanut butter-tomato sauce -- spicy, sweet, and rich. The book claims that the recipe is from West Africa.

Why not try the follwing peanut and lime vinaigrette:
125ml/4½fl oz lime juice
40g/1½oz brown sugar
1 tbsp fish sauce (nam pla)
½ tsp chilli oil
2 tbsp fresh mint, roughly chopped
2 tbsp fresh coriander, roughly chopped
1 tbsp chuncky peanut butter
Very good with watercress to accompany sping rolls or grilled fish.

I agree with Marc and Ties - I like an African stew, also anything southeast asian with peanut sauce like spring rolls or gado-gado. I like a smidge of pb in black bean stew (topped with bananas) and I have a thing for PB&J with Ramen noodle soup. (yeah, whatever.)
Mostly I'm just a fan of PB H'd. That's a scoop of pb served directly from the spoon.

spicy pumpkin peanut butter curry- a mix of pumpkin, peanut butter, red curry paste, garlic, and soy sauce. throw it on some spaghetti, mix in some red peppers, and top it with shrimp.

How about a fake mole - peanut butter, cocoa, chipotle, chiles, garlic, onion, chopped or canned tomatoes, chicken stock, lime juice, bay leaf, salt and anything else you can think of, in sauce pan.
coat a whole chicken with it and bake.

One of my favorite sports bars in Portland offers the "XXX Burger", which is topped with cheddar cheese, chunky peanut butter, and red onions. It's fantastic!
