Plant-Based Peanut Butter Vegetables… so, what do you do with the last of your leeks, broccoli and cauliflower? Well, why not try my delicious plant-based peanut butter vegetables? I was a bit stuck as to what to make, so I raided my store cupboard and pulled out some peanut butter, fresh ginger, red onion, garlic and some spices to create this dish. It’s amazing what you can do when you think you’ve got nothing in the house!
Don’t forget, broccoli and cauliflower are powerhouses from the vegetable patch, plus, as with all veg, they’re loaded with fibre. If you find that you have other vegetables, this sauce works equally well with potatoes, carrots, green beans, peas, squash and pumpkin to name but a few.
It tastes amazing whatever veg you use! Go gone, give it a try and let me know how you get on.
