Ingredients
- 1 cup roasted peanuts, shelled and skinned
- Salt, to taste
- Tasteless vegetable oil
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon grains of paradise
Method
- In a blender or food processor, grind the peanuts and salt till they are crushed. The ground nuts will stick to the sides of the mixing container, so using a spatula, loosen bits from the bottom and round the sides.
- Drizzle in the quantity of oil which yields a 'thick cream' consistency.
- In a mortar and pestle, crush the grains of paradise till fine, then stir in to the peanut butter, bit by bit till you get the clear spice flavours coming through.
- In Nigeria, this is always served with 'garden eggs' as we call the small white or yellow eggplants which don't require cooking.
