Surinamese spicy peanut sauce

This sauce is not easy or fast to prepare, but if you don't have an Oma Tjoekoep and you don't want to use ready made sauce, this is the way to go!

Ingredients:

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
ginger, 1 inch cube, finely chopped.
peanut butter, about 200 grams
tomato paste, small can
soy sauce, 2 tablespoons
oil, 2 tablespoons
vinegar, 1 tablespoon
chilli paste (sambal), 1 tablespoon
cilantro, 1 tablespoon, finely chopped
milk or water
salt to taste

Preparation:
Heat oil softly in a small pan (preferably thick-bottomed or teflon coated). Add the garlic, chilli paste and ginger and heat at a low fire.
Then throw in the peanut butter. Once it has melted in the heat add the tomato paste and mix well. To create a thinner sauce add milk or water to taste, while stirring. Finally add the soy sauce, vinegar and the cilantro. Add salt to taste.
The sauce is done when it becomes a bit grainy and the oil starts floating to the top.
Enjoy!
