Salsa de Mani (Peanut Sauce)

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup unsweetened peanut butter
• 1 cup milk
• 1/2 cup white onion, finely diced
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp ground achiote
• 2 tbsp peanut oil or butter
• 1 tbsp cilantro, finely chopped
• 3 tbsp white onions, finely minced or sliced
• 1 hard-boiled egg, finely chopped (optional)
• Salt to taste

Directions:

1. Mix the peanut butter with half of the milk and stir until dissolved.
2. Melt the butter/oil over medium heat and then add the onion, achiote, cumin and salt. Keep stirring until the onions are translucent. Add the peanut butter/milk mixture and the rest of the milk.
3. Bring just to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, then add the boiled egg, cilantro and onions. (Note: you may need to add a little more milk to think the sauce).
