Butter doesn't taste good by itself.

Can't cook with peanut butter.

Peanut butter is bland without salt.

We drive on parkways, and park on driveways. It's a wacky world we live in.

Peanut Butter hummus does not sound very appetizing. I think one or the
other, not both.

I love the taste of butter.

Peanut butter can be used in cooking some Asian cuisines - Thai,
maybe? I can't remember, because I don't like peanuts cooked in
anything.

I like a peanutbutter/lime/hot sauce combo. Inspired by Thai, I
think.
I also like peanut (butter) soups. Often peanut soups are called
African.

The first one I had was just a plain cream of peanut soup using
crunchy peanutbutter.

Now I try most that I stumble on-- sweet potato, chicken, greens,
carrots--- It's all good.

Do you have a favorite recipe? The thought appeals to me, but what
stops me is hubby isn't a big peanut butter fan - so I know he'll
probably have one bowl and then I'll have to eat the rest (I'm not a
leftovers fan).

Peanut butter is bland without chocolate.

My ex-wife's grandfather liked Thai food. His only complaint was that "they
always put those damn peanuts in everything." hahahaha

While looking for this I was reminded how many things I put peanut
butter in-
Jamaican Beef, Chicken Mole, lots of cookies, candies, bars, soups,
stews. . . .

But here's the Cream of Peanut soup that I first tasted . . . holy
crap- over 40 years ago! Christmas dinner 1971 at the King's Arms
Tavern-
http://www.history.org/almanack/life/food/fdpnutsp.cfm

Quick, easy, filling -- and yummy! The only thing I ever do to it
is swirl a little Frank's Hot Sauce into mine. [and I'll bet a wedge
of lime would go with it, too-- though I haven't done that, I don't
think]

If you make your own, almond butter with a percentage of peanuts is a
healthier alternative and tastier, too, IMHO. As mentioned here several
times before, I use about 3/4 almonds, 1/8 peanuts, and 1/8 cashews for
my homemade nut butter and I think it's a fantastic combination. For my
taste and even that of most kids who've tried it, no salt is required,
although I've made it with salt, with honey, and with both and they're
all good.

And butter tastes just fine by itself - I've been known to eat the stuff
straight from the butter dish in small quantities - we buy unsalted and
either organic domestic or Irish from TJ's.

Most certainly can cook with peanut butter. There are tons of recipes
that call for peanut butter as an ingredient... I have a half gallon
of Perry's chocolate peanut butter ice cream in the freezer right now
just waiting for me, bought it just yesterday. I add peanut butter to
oriental dishes all the time. Haven't you ever baked peanut butter
cookies? A number of years ago I posted a recipe for Reese's Peanut
Butter Cup cheesecake with a Nabisco Nutter Butter cookie crumb crust.
Maybe someone will post the recipe.

I'd love to try some peanut/almond/cashew butter blends. Yum.

The procedure is the same for any nut butter.

Put the nuts or legumes that will grind like nuts into the food
processor. Set it to run continously. Start it. Run it until your ears
hurt. That's the half way point. Keep spinning until the texture is
very smooth. Monitor it some in spite of your sore ears. If it starts
to look dry add some clear liquid oil.

Near the end taste it and decide if you want to add salt. Spin some
more to mix the salt in.

Some nut types have excess oil. Let the nut butter settle over night,
one night. If there is a layer of oil at the top pour it off. After
that mix the oil back in. If you remove too much oil the nut butter
hardens.

Yes, there are a lot of dishes that call for peanut butter in Thai dishes.
Sate comes to mind. A sauce I have used was fish sauce, peanut butter, palm
sugar and white vinegar. It makes a nice base sauce for noodle dishes.

For some strange reason, I don't like Asian etc. dishes that
contain peanut butter instead of pounded peanuts.

I've posted it before but here's a quick description of what I do.

I use a Sunbeam Oskar, which is a mini food processor. The mini basket
on some full-sized food processors should suffice. You want a
straight-edged blade, not serrated.

I use all dry-roasted, unsalted, whole nuts that I buy from Trader
Joe's. Although I eyeball the measurements, I've checked them and they
a 2 cups almonds, 1/3 cup cashews, 1/3 cup peanuts.

Doug's reply mentions that you have to let them grind a long time -
that's true. If you're starting to go deaf by the end of making a
batch, that's about right. My procedure is this:

Start the food processor with only the nuts in it and let it run until
the top half stops moving. At that point, I add about 1 tablespoon of
refined coconut oil and a 1 teaspoon of non-EV olive oil. Grind again,
this time until all the non-moving nuts have started moving and are
incorporated together. At this point, if you stop the processor, you'll
have a very thick paste that more than holds its own shape.

From here, I continue to add small amounts of olive oil until I get the
consistency I like, which is pretty loose because I like to eat mine
mixed with sliced fruit, but mine also is thick enough to work as a
substitute for peanut butter on a PB&J sandwich. I don't like drizzling
it through the hole in the top - I prefer to take up the lid, add a bit
of oil, start it again, and eyeball the consistency, repeating this
cycle until it's what I want.

Interestingly, I recently wore out one Sunbeam Oskar and, when I tried
its replacement (both were bought used on ebay), I was disappointed that
the sharper blade of the replacement machine made my nut butter finer in
texture than I like. I've gone back to using the older, duller blad in
the new machine. Mine is probably best described as slightly chunky.

Hope that's enough for someone to give it a try. The coconut oil is
strictly optional, and the choice of non-EV olive oil is because I like
the lack of olive flavor in my nut butter - you could certainly use a
different oil.

Note that if you choose to add salt and/or honey or sugar, you'll
prbably need anywhere from a little to a lot more oil to get it thin
enough. When I've added those things, I've basically made it first
without them, then added them and readjusted the texture until it was
again what I wanted.

There exist custom machines that grind nut butter. I have never heard
of anyone having one at home but I have seen them at stores. No way
would a store let you run a custom mix through one of theirs. Has
anyone ever seen a custom nut grinding machine for home use? Might
apply to folks on a paleolithic diet plan.

A Sunbeam Oskar costs maybe $40 on ebay and does the job perfectly. We
also use it in the kitchen to chop up other stuff.

Interesting about peanut soup-can't imagine what it tastes like but I am
now thinking of stirring a tbsp of peanut butter into my tomatoe cream
soup next time I make it.

Chicken and peanuts are a natural combination-chicken soup with peanut
butter melted in to the desired taste proportions? Chicken salad with
chunky peanut butter stirred in?

When I hear peanut butter my mind leaps to peanut butter on toast for
breakfast-a classic childhood pleasure that has drifted away from me.
And then there is a long remembered peanut butter cake with peanut
butter frosting that was divine at the time-wish I had the exact
recipe-surfing I find too many recipes involving brown sugar.

I think it's a peppery peanut soup. African cooking is spicy.

Hmm. I wonder if the peanut oil would go with the vegetable oil already in
the soup.

I've never had peanut butter cake, but I have heard of peanut flour, and
almond flour.

Earmuffs or earplugs. You'll look silly in the kitchen, but your ears

Isn't it though? I've been waiting decades for a semi-natural peanut
butter -- one that's chemically emulsified, if necessary, but WITHOUT
THE *$(%! SUGAR.

We have one here (although made in Australia) which has no sugar and
is quite nice:

Some of the tree-huggers make and sell it in boutique food stalls and
rape your wallet for the privelige, but the above one is usually in
supermarkets at a reasonable price, thankfully.

No list of ingredients listed.

Wait a sec.... No sugar or salt, but 96% peanuts? What's the other 4%?
In this country, the stir-your-own natural ones contain peanuts and
salt. What are they adding to theirs? And why is it named for a word
with such bad connotations?

In the US I do see the fancier brands of peanut butter list only peanuts
for example Adams or many other small regional brands or some list a
preservative I think Smuckers does this.

In comparison Jif and Skippy brands list added sugar but have the exact
same carb counts. If they add sugar to end up with the same carb count
they must use the crappiest peanuts they could find. As in the regular
peanuts go to feed the hogs and only the ones rejected as hog feed make
it into Jif and Skippy. "Choosy Mothers Avoid Jif".

I'm with you. I've tried other brands including natural and homemade both

I used Jif for years and now use Teddie (natural, superchunky or
whatever they call it). I still don't want to encounter it in
soup, sauce, etc.

I grew up on Peter Pan, but can't stand it or Jif now. Why put sugar in
peanut butter? And hydrogenated oil; already has peanut oil... I like the
natural... My ex used go through a jar of Jif about once a week-- the big
jar. I would sneak some once in a great while when the natural ran out, and
I was always disappointed and went to the store the next day to get natural.

I just put peanut butter on bread, so I like Jif.
