dried peanut butter

[Renee Profile]

I've just made some of mine up to have with a couple of oatcakes. It did taste of roasted peanuts, but then it is made from 100% peanuts. I added a small amount of salt for the second oatcake and it had more depth of flavour. It made a good lunchtime snack.

I licked the spoon when I tidied it into the dishwasher, definitely improved after 30 minutes

Just been in Aldi - PBFit is a specialbuy - £3.45 for 225g.

I'm not sure about that price, Pampy.
I got 1kilo - but think it was £12? Or maybe less with another purchase. Sorry to be vague.

I've just done a quick test this am.
Powder reconstituted with just water. vs with almond milk. vs some real pb in pouches that Tony got me.

I prefer just water. There's no stick to the roof of your mouth.
Almond milk not for me.
Least favourite, real pb. It's a bit creamy and sticky.

Had it again, got the amount water spot on this time so pleasant texture

Don't think I'll bother again - the point about "real" peanut butter surely is that it is buttery / creamy? I miss the creaminess in this, and there is a residual bitterness

Need to find ways to use it up - I don't do smoothies (yuk)

I still think this is just a clever way of selling us the residue from making groundnut oil at a premium price

I still haven't got around to making a satay sauce with it but am planning on a chicken Thai curry some time this week so will try it out in that. It's the PB2 one with a bit of sugar/salt - rather a large tub too.

I add the pb powder to porridge into which I grate an apple. I like the added flavour.

I haven't made the halva either, I didn't realize it was rather a difficult product to make which has put me off.
Perhaps better left as a pleasant memory in Greece.

Renee, I'm using mine at breakfasts every day.
I'm really not a reduced fat fan. My husband gets 0 fat yoghurt, and I cannot abide it.

I wonder if you'd be able to get through your powder, Sue, if you added butter to your mixed up one. Defeats the object, but hey.
I really, really like pb on toast with butter too. Overkill, but I do it.
Or that classic - apricot jam and peanut butter on toast/ sandwich. I may even take it that way to lunch myself next week.

Mine doesn't seem to have that bitterness of an after taste that you can detect. I don't think so anyway.

I wondered about adding a bit of sunflower oil to it
But will maybe try making west African peanut stew (low fat version)

Crikey, how did you find that.
I was thinking only obviously Asian, and Thai. I spotted some recipes that require drying out peanuts and grinding them.

What an interesting recipe.

[Stokey Sue Profile]

I found it because I’ve eaten it a couple of times, years ago!

I can remember making it many years ago, but only the once.
