How to make homemade peanut butter
The advantage of this dish is that all the necessary ingredients are available all year round and you will not have any difficulties finding them. You will need:
- 500 grams of raw peanuts. You can use either unshelled or shelled peanuts.
- Any vegetable oil. It is preferable to use peanut vegetable oil, but it can be replaced with olive oil. You only need 1 tablespoon.
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon of natural honey.
First you need to dry the peanuts. You can make peanut butter for pp from raw peanuts, but if you dry them a little, your paste will acquire a more pronounced taste and aroma. The oven should be preheated to 180 degrees. Place peanuts on a baking sheet and dry for 10 minutes. After this, it is extremely important to let the peanuts cool completely. Remove the husks from the cooled peanuts, if necessary.
In order for our peanuts to take a paste form, we need a blender. Before you make peanut butter, make sure your blender is up to the task. It is best to use a stationary blender that is designed for grinding nuts. Place the nuts in the bowl and start whisking. The whipping process will take you a lot of time, because in order to get the desired consistency you will have to grind the nuts almost to a liquid state.
If the paste is too dry, you can add vegetable oil. All additives and ingredients should be added while the paste is in the blender to ensure they are thoroughly mixed. If you don't like honey, you can make peanut butter with stevia or agave syrup.
As for the consistency of the peanut butter, that's up to you. Those who like a homogeneous paste should beat all the nuts at once until they become a homogeneous mass. Love crunchy peanut pieces? Then set aside some of the peanuts and grind them into crumbs, and only then add them to the peanut butter.
