I just didn't understand why the recipe was so bland when it seemed to have most of the ingredients it needed to be good (it was just missing some seasoning).

What was missing from the recipe is the traditional "hot pepper powder" that most people would serve it with. You put a pinch of that on the sauce, and you don't need any other spices! Also, many people I know do put salt in (if they can afford to buy it, and can find it). I think if people can find garlic, and can afford it, they will also put some in. One person I know puts in lemon grass (wrapped in a bundle, to simmer a bit, then taking it out before serving), and this adds an excellent flavor to peanut sauce, but it's not typical. People also cook beef, chicken, and other types of meat in this kind of sauce. Also, they may add spinach, or another local vegetable similar to spinach instead of okra, but the okra is really typical, and a favorite here. (I'm not crazy about it, though.) The other favorite leaf to add to peanut sauce is cassava leaf, which is rich in vitamins, unlike the root. - Deborah TroesterChrista Troesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08434275006792586885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8867670219440554340.post-39299981768846288402012-08-26T15:53:21.374-07:002012-08-26T15:53:21.374-07:00What a wonderful concept and I loved this post.

I hope you'll consider doing a guest post on orgasmicchef.com for me one day! Hopefully a recipe that you really liked.
