Ingredients

  • ½ cup dry-roasted peanuts
  • 2 limes juiced

  • ½ head Napa Cabbage shredded
  • 1 avocado peeled and sliced
  • ¼ cup cilantro chopped roughly
  • ½ tablespoon Aleppo pepper optional

Instructions

  • Transfer peanuts to blender or food processor. Add ginger, lime juice, garlic, chili pepper, and oil. Puree ingredients until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
  • Place cabbage in a large bowl. Toss with the dressing. Mix in the cilantro, green onions, avocados, and Aleppo pepper.

Notes

Peanuts and chiles are staples in African cooking depending on the region. This sauce blends two common African ingredients with ginger, soy sauce and sesame oil for an African-Asian fusion that works really well.
The grated ginger adds some zest and warmth to the sauce as well as gives it an aromatic character that is enhanced with the lime juice.
Don't fear the habanero, as the de-seeding and de-veining should remove all the heat.
Add chicken, salmon, or shrimp if you want a protein option
