Gooey moist nutty Peanut Butter spread slowly dry roasted and churned to release wholesome oils and rich toasted sensuous flavours.
Get something mushy and sticky instead. And, flutter.
This dish will eradicate any belief that vegan food can’t be made with simple household ingredients.
Make this:
- When you fancy a little peanut butter and jam sandwiches and the cupboards are empty. A bit of indulgence goes a long way
- When going to the shops is too much hard work you fancy a night in with a cosy treat that’ll have you lounging and grabbing for more
- When you want a wholesome treat and know what’s actually in your spread without the additional additives or emulsifiers to put you off
I was inspired to make Peanut Butter on lazy days, languishing in front of the fire. And, having run of shop bought. I instead, mad my own to go with a nice bit of Damson Jam to go in tow. This condiment harks back to the Aztecs and Incas who ground peanuts into a paste.
Peanut Butter is vegan, paleo and a condiment.
What to do next
Tag me on @ethiveganquantum on Instagram to show me what you’ve made and let me know you’re happy for me to share.
My recipes are featured in vegan speciality publications: Nourished, Vegan Life, Plant Based and Vegan, Food and Living.
Order my first self-published book, “Essence: The Beginner’s Guide to Veganism” part of the three-part Circle of Food series. My second book “Presence: The Ascending Vegan” – which explores how to maintain a vegan practice is out in 2027 – I have compiled all the chapters including recipes.
Going strong since 2013.
