    Joan... I know some people with peanut allergies also have tree nut allergies, but peanuts are a legume and grow in the ground, not on a tree. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Shame on you using a tree nut like cashew butter in a recipe for those with peanut allergy. Most likely if you have reaction to peanuts also has allergy to all tree nuts! Dangerous eating.

    Try using "SunButter" as a sub in this dish, It is made from sunflower seeds. It can be tolerated for folks with peanut/tree nut allergy. Made in Nebraska I believe. Most grocery store carey in and also Target.

    Good Eats for us all.

    Great sauce! I whipped this up and we had it with chicken satay, two nights in a row.... then we were putting it on toast! Next I think I am going to put it in a rolled turkey breast for that extra flavor kick.
