Peanut butter sauce recipe?

Question

Ahh, I can't remember the actual name of it, but it was soooo good!
I had it at my boyfriend's step-dad's parent's house. She said it was made out of peanut butter, or just peanuts. Something like that.
But it was sorta spicy and you put it on your rice and vegetables I believe.
Does anyone know what this is called and how to make it?

2 or 3 chopped garlic cloves

1 large chopped onion

1 large green pepper, 1/2 "cube

1 large zucchini squash, cube1/2"

Saute' vegetables in veg. oil til onions are clear, not brown.



1 can tomatoes in juice (15oz) or more if desired

1 can 12 oz V8 juice

1 tbsp crushed red pepper

1 tsp black pepper

2 or 3 jalapeno peppers, seeded , chopped fine

1 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp clove, 1 tbsp roasted chili powder

1 cup or more, fresh peanut butter ( or your favorite brand)



Add tomato and juice and spices and peanut butter to vegetables.

Stir frequently, over low heat, taste for salt.



Cut chicken or pork into uniform size pieces, saute in a little oil til well browned, add to peanut sauce and continue cooking on low heat.
