Useful Tips

Peanut paste.

In general, I'm not a fan of peanut butter in the original performance, so if you mix it with different additives, for example, with salt or chocolate, then yes - that's what I like, and cookies and snacks from it are also above praise, and on a toasted slice of toast with jam she too, oh, how good!

But someone really likes it very much, with its unchanging taste and slightly astringent texture.

The recipe is simple and you can not, the main thing is to have a good and powerful blender or combine, as well as fresh nuts, which will not be bitter.

Ingredients

Peanuts: 300 gr.

Preparation

1. Put the peanuts on a baking tray. I had a raw, not salty peanut in the shell, when removing the shell from the nuts, the upper brown husk was very easily cleaned, so the photo shows peanuts without it.

If you have a bad skin from the nuts, then clean it after it is roasted in the oven, if the peanut is already roasted, then it can be simply ignited a little, so that it will be easier to clean later.

2. In the oven, preheated to 180C set the pan with peanuts and stir every 3 minutes, I have all the time roasting took 10 minutes, maybe you have this time can reach 15-20 minutes.

Will go a characteristic nutty flavor and peanuts will change its color a little. 

3. When the peanuts are toasted, then cool it and in small portions fall asleep in the blender.

4. We begin to grind the nuts, this requires a powerful blender. At first, the nuts will turn into crumbs.

5. After 5 minutes of beating, peanuts will begin to emit an oil that will adhere to the crumb.

If even after 10 minutes your blender failed, then you can add a couple of teaspoons of honey, this will help make the mass homogeneous, that is, start the process of "homogenization".

6. After 5-10 minutes you will get the final product, be careful, if you see that your combine is overheating, let it rest in the process. So we grind all the nuts, I got two sets.

7. We put the prepared paste into a jar with a lid and you can store it for two weeks.

I finally mixed the ready-made pasta with chocolate, so I liked it much more, and from the second half baked this cookie, which turned out incredibly tasty, that I did not even expect such a result.
