Peanut butter

Put the peanuts in the blender jug and place the lid on the jug. Place the pestle in the lid and set the blender to medium speed. Use the pestle to push the peanuts towards the blender blade. Do not do this for longer than 10 to 15 seconds. After this, let the blender to its work untill the peanut butter is ready! The peanut crumbs magically turn into 'cheese'. If you want to make a more smooth peanut butter, put the blender on the highest setting for one minute longer.

Did you know that your peanuts get a fuller taste when you roast them lightly before putting them in the blender? You can also use other types of nuts such as almonds or pistachios. The preparation method is then the same. Experiment!
