Stonewall Kitchen Roasted Garlic Peanut Sauce

Stonewall Kitchen’s Roasted Garlic Peanut Sauce is a nutty peanut sauce with roasted garlic and a hint of spice. Creamy and savory, it is perfect for grilled dishes and stir-fries, as a marinade for skewers, or as a dip for vegetables and bread.

Roasted Garlic Peanut Sauce is the nutty peanut sauce from Stonewall Kitchen, based in Maine in the northeastern United States. In this 700-gram jar, fine peanut butter meets roasted garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil, rounded off with a touch of red pepper that provides a gentle heat.

Nutty, creamy, and mildly spicy

The Roasted Garlic Peanut Sauce is thick and light brown, with the full aroma of roasted nuts. It falls from the spoon in a thick dollop, ensuring it sticks to a skewer instead of dripping onto the plate.

The peanut provides a rounded, creamy base, the roasted garlic adds a warm depth, and a hint of red pepper provides a subtle finish. None of it is truly hot; it just leaves a pleasant, mild tingle.

It tastes nutty, savory, and warming all at once, with the thick, rich texture you would expect from a good satay sauce. Red wine vinegar and white wine vinegar provide balance so the oil doesn’t become overpowering, and there is a gentle lingering note of sesame. The soy sauce adds a salty fullness that prevents the nut sauce from becoming too heavy or cloying.

For satay skewers, grilled meat, and as a dip

Its home is the grill, as well as Asian-inspired cuisine.

It is a classic as a marinade and dip for pork or poultry satay skewers, as well as for grilled chicken, beef, or shrimp. Stirred into rice or glass noodles, it becomes a meal in no time, and it is also perfect as a dip for freshly baked bread or raw vegetables.

Warm it up briefly to make it smoother and easier to drizzle over stir-fried dishes. Diluted with a splash of coconut milk, it makes a base for a quick curry sauce; with a bit of lime juice and spring onions, it becomes a dressing for glass noodle salad.

For something more Asian-inspired and sweeter, try the Sesame Ginger Teriyaki Sauce. You can find other options for the grill in our Grill and BBQ Sauces collection.

The nut that isn’t a nut, and the street-grill skewer

Botanically, the peanut is a legume and, unlike true nuts, grows underground.

Only roasting brings out the dark, sweet aromas that we associate with nuts, and this roasting defines the sauce from start to finish. Satay refers to thin meat skewers cooked over hot coals at street-side grills in Indonesia and Malaysia, traditionally accompanied by a thick peanut sauce.

Stonewall Kitchen has taken this concept and given it a savory, unique direction with slow-roasted garlic. The result is a sauce that fits perfectly between a grill night and a wok stir-fry, without needing a long list of ingredients.

A bowl for the group by the grill

On a balmy evening, skewers are on the coals and everyone reaches for the same small bowl. Add a few roughly chopped nuts and some finely sliced spring onions, plus a squeeze of lime, and your dip is ready. Once opened, the jar will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator if the lid is sealed tightly. See what else Stonewall Kitchen from Maine has to offer in the Stonewall Kitchen product range.
