What can I say…. We love peanut butter.
Naturally it goes into cookies and cakes.
It’s a classic on toast.
But I also add it to stir-fries, pastas and marinades.
And there have been times I’ve eaten it from a spoon…. Or spread it on that last bite of dark chocolate….
This dish is similar to a Satay, with slightly spicy marinade that goes well with pork.
For maximum flavor, poke the pork with a fork after adding the marinade to allow it to penetrate the meat. We had thin chops that cook quickly; try not to overcook, slightly pink is now preferred for pork.
