Brought this to a friend's home and it was a total hit! Made a few changes:
1. used roughly half the oil. You can always add more later if it's not oily enough
2. Used broccoli instead of snap peas and added in some frozen peas. Blanched them both.
YUM!!!

We didn't mind the tase so much as we did the texture. I think the peanut butter made it gritty. Peanut is definitely the dominating factor.
