--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2                    Cloves garlic, chopped
   2                    Chicken livers
   2       tb           Vegetable oil
   2       tb           Dark soy sauce
   2       tb           Sugar
   2       tb           Crunchy peanut butter
   2       ts           Sesame paste
     1/4                Red chilli, seeded & chopped
                        Water

  Saute the garlic and chicken livers in the oil until very darkly
  coloured.  Grind to a thick paste and return to the pan with the
  remaining ingredients.  Simmer, adding water to make a thick sauce,
  for about 2 mins, stirring constantly.
  Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks.  Use as a dip for various roasted meats
  and meatballs and to spread over rice paper before wrapping cooked
  ingredients or salad.  A variation to this sauce uses tamarind pulp
  instead of the livers to give a tart tasting sauce.
