The spice shop I work in carries some really (maybe not totally) crazy peanut butters with add-ins like White Choc/Raspberry, Choc Chip Cookie Dough, Apricot chunk, etc. But the latest order included Sundried Tomato. It's not awful. I wasn't sure what to expect, and when people were turning up their noses, I started thinking savory uses for it.

Everything bagels or any savory bagel for that matter.
Peanut dipping sauce.

The company sends some recipe cards for each flavor and the one for this one was an addition to mashed potatoes. I'm not totally turned off by it but I can't wrap my head around it either.

Any other thoughts for using this stuff? They've got an Asian Curry too, but we haven't had it in the shop yet.

Maybe a riff on gado-gado or some Indonesian-style noodle dish.

Have you checked the company's website for recipes? They should have some really great ideas on using the product. If the peanut butter is quality, the additions, if quality, should be very savory.

This was my first thought, too. It could work with Thai peanut sauce as well.

On Top Chef, one of the contestants made Peanut Butter Mashed Potatoes. I think it may have been that surly Lisa. Tom (the host) was skeptical, but said he really liked it. I'm not sure I can wrap my head around that one either...

Incidentally, I remember flavored peanut butters called Coogle (Koogle?) back when I was a kid in the 70s. I begged my mom to buy it. It was really good. The banana flavored was a favorite.

Edited to add this link to info about Koogle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koogle
