Cooking with PB2? (Frisco? Anyone?)

I'm craving west african food (specifically ground nut stew), and want to modify the recipe to be more of a sauce for chicken. 

here's an example, and what I want to do is replace the peanut butter with PB2...what do you think??

It will work - to make the PB2 into liquid just add water - 1/2 cup PB2 + 1/4 cup water would make it PB consistency.

Sounds delish! I hope it works out! Peanut butter in food makes me think of thai chicken with peanut sauce...or pad thai with peanuts...yum!

Truth is..... I haven't used PB2..... yet.... tasted it once.... was alright.....

That recipe looks great..... PB2 should be fine.....

I bookmarked it.... may try a Cafe Frisco version....

Making your teriyaki sauce tonight with some filet mignon...

would love to try your version...will be checking the site regularly to see it!!

I use PB2 all the time in baking. I just mix it with water to the consistency I want it to be and then measure it out according to the recipe.

I have actually made the Senegalese version - maafé - with lamb and PB2. My hubby, who is from Senegal, could not tell the difference. So it works. Now if we could just find a similar substitute for rice.....

pre-sleeve, i prefered it on egg noodles rather than rice or fufu...but these days, I only have room for protein anyway (2.5 ounces at a time), so I'm not really missing the rice...I'm making it today, let you know how it comes out!

Okay, so my first attempt was DELICIOUS!  The sauce could be thicker, though...

I used 2 oz. PB2, and 3 cups chicken, made 11 3-ounce portions.  I used the recipe from above, but didn't use the ginger.  Also, used yellow onion rather than green because we didn't have any.

 

MFP says 95 calories/14 grams protein.

I'll take a picture for the next serving so I can make it a little presentable!
