peanut butter is an ingredient in alot of dishes--particularly west african cooking--but it's also in many thai dishes (transposed for jiff of course)---i dont use the sweetened peanut butters like skippy or jiff for cooking tho (well i dont like them particularly, truth be told)--i prefer an organic peanut butter or to roast and grind the peanuts myself (this is the best way).
it works well with curry/tomato based dishes.
you can substitute pumpkin or squash for the chicken in mals recipe to make it vegetarian.
it's kinda like maafe, which is a fine thing: get thee to a senegalais resto and try it out so you know how its done before you make it yourself, though.
lemon would pull the peanut butter flavor forward in the dish (depending on how much you add and when). it can be good or it can disrupt the balance of things. taste the dish before you add it, obviously.
