Peanut Butter recipes?

MoneysavingManxie

Hi guys

I have been really inspired by some of these threads and I now have lots of ideas to use up stuff from the kitchen and not just throw it away. Thanks!

I wonder if any of you would have a good peanut butter cake reciepe? My colleague and I were talking about them the other day but we couldn't seem to find a decent receipe.

Can anyone help? Or even cookie reciepe.

Thanks
Annabel

I posted this in reply to someone wanting to use up coconut but it could apply to you too - and it's very very yummy!

Ingredients (to make approx 3-4 portions)
any veg - I tend to use onions, courgettes, leeks, babycorn peppers etc but you can use anything basically - you might want to add chicken too
100ml hot vegetable stock
100ml hot coconut milk (either from a can or made from powder)
3tbsp peanut butter
3tbsp sweet chilli sauce - I use linghams
2tbsp light soy sauce
noodles
couple of handfuls of peanuts

Method
Mix together stock, coconut milk, peanut butter, chilli sauce, soy sauce and give a good stir
Put the noodles on to boil
stir fry whichever veg you've chosen - to stretch it further you can put in a tin or two of pulses if you like
Once veg is cooked add satay sauce and heat through
Poor veg & satay over drained noodles and sprinkle with a few peanuts
Enjoy - it is yummy and tastes luxorious!

This sounds lovely, thank you.

Hi, I made some peanut butter this week but the found it to be so so & it isn't sticky enough to spread on toast etc. It tastes ok and I have about a lb of it plus several more bags of spare peanuts (long story) to make more if I want to. Is there anyting I can bake with peanut butter in? Ideally soemthing I could freeze, maybe a snack type treat thing for kids lunch boxes..... Or anything else I can do with it tha doesn't involve me eating a spoonful every time I open the fridge and derailing my diet?!?!
Thanks :beer:

Chicken satay skewers. peanut butter cookies.

How about Pipi-An, a Philipino dish:

0.5lb bacon bits
4 chicken quarters
1 onion, chopped
100g mushrooms, sliced
250ml chicken stock
1 heaped teasp ground chilli
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2-3 carrots chopped
2 peppers chopped (green for contrast)
1 can chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons soy sauce
6 tablespoons crunchy peanut butter
1 tablespoon oil

1. In a saucepan, bring the chicken pieces, chicken stock and chilli to the boil. Simmer for 20 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a much larger pan, fry the bacon until the fat runs. Add the onion fry until clear, then the garlic and mushrooms and fry until the mushroom water has evaporated.
3. Stir in the peppers. and continue frying.
4. When the chicken time has expired, add the contents of that saucepan. Be careful - it will splash.
5. Stir in the peanut butter, the soy and the tinned tomatoes. Add the carrots and anything else not already added. Bring back to a simmer and simmer for 20 minutes or so until the sauce is thick.
6. Serve on rice.

Apart from the onion and garlic, all veg is optional. This can be made equally well with chicken thighs, chicken breasts (cubed) or random trimmings/leftovers from a roast turkey/chicken (in which case, skip the 1st stage).


This is my party piece. I regularly get requests to make it from friends. :T

In view of the diet, I'd better not mention peanut ("Snickers") ice cream.
