Here's a McDougall recipe that my daughter in law came up with. The peanut sauce is one of Mary McDougall's recipes. My question - can anyone think of what other kind of sauce this could have that would make it MWL? Please let me know. It is really delicious. Thanks, Laura

I can think of some sauces, but nothing that tastes even close to the peanuts in the original sauce.  I think I might try a white sauce with mushrooms over it. 
 
Hope someone knows of a great peanut substitute.

I know, it might just have to be a feast meal. Does anyone know why the recipe showed up so small, and my posting so big? I copied and pasted from Word, and the print looked big when I did it. Take care, LauraA

"Ginger people" has a variety of stirfry sauces, mostly without oil.  They have a ginger peanut one that has some "peanut powder" or some such thing in it - I don't think it has oil in it and it doesn't have much fat....but more than their usual ones.  Might want to check it out.  I'll go see if they have a website and post it if they do.

I've had it - it tastes a bit peanutty without the big peanut fat.  Otherwise, might try a curry sauce.

Okay - I googled it.  http://www.gingerpeople.com/    It has all their products, you can order on line and I looked up the ingredients - the ginger peanut sauce has a little oil in it and way too much fat for MWL - 1g per serving (9 calories out of 25).    But they have several other sauces without oil (some I haven't tried and may order since the store doesn't carry them) and their sauces are GOOD.    That said, if you want to make a sauce at home, I think a curry sauce would make a good substitute for a peanut sauce.  Use some coconut extract instead of coconut milk for the flavor.
