Fermented Peanut Butter Recipes

FERMENTED PEANUT BUTTER RECIPE

Steps:

• Blend roasted (and de-hulled, if needed) peanuts and optional sea salt in food processor until peanuts become peanut butter.
• With motor running, gradually add water through the feed tube. Blend until water is fully incorporated and peanut butter is creamy. Take off the lid. Use a spatula to scrape the sides and bottom so they get mixed in with the next step.
• Sprinkle in probiotic, and blend just briefly to mix.
• Transfer peanut butter to fermentation vessel or glass jar. Cover loosely. Place in steadily warm location for about 15 hours. (If you have an Instant Pot with a Yogurt setting, you can ferment directly in the insert pot, if you like.) Note: Your peanut butter may have a darker "skin" over the surface after fermenting, which is fine; it's just darker and firmer where it was exposed to the air. This can be stirred in or ignored.
• Transfer to fridge, or eat immediately. Store Fermented Peanut Butter in the fridge for 1 month, or possibly much longer.

HOMEMADE PEANUT BUTTER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Tip the peanuts onto a large baking tray, place in the oven and roast for 10 mins, stirring now and then to ensure they don't catch at the edges. When golden brown, remove from the oven and leave to cool completely.
• Tip the nuts into a food processor, and add the salt. Blend for 4-5 mins, until you're left with a smooth nut butter, if you want to loosen the consistency, add a drizzle of oil and blend again.
