Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (13.5 oz) coconut milk
- 0.5 cup coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon, grated fresh ginger
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Instructions
In a small saucepan over medium heat, pour the coconut milk and coconut cream. Stir gently to combine.
Add the grated fresh ginger and minced garlic to the pan. Stir and let it simmer for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse.
Stir in the fresh lime juice, honey, salt, black pepper, coconut aminos, and cayenne pepper. Mix everything thoroughly.
Allow the sauce to simmer lightly for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
Once the sauce has thickened slightly, gradually whisk in the extra virgin olive oil, which will help emulsify and add richness to the sauce.
Taste, and adjust seasoning as needed. If you prefer a bit more tang, add an additional squeeze of lime juice.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
Serve the sauce warm over your favorite paleo dishes such as grilled chicken, roasted vegetables, or as a creamy dip for raw veggies.
