Any uses for salted peanuts? ( WARNING - this thread may contain nuts! )

BountyHunter

Have 2 very large bags of salted peanuts looking at me every time I open the food cupboard (christmas leftovers BBE April), any suggestions edible or otherwise?

Yep, stick them in a blender with a little vegetable oil and you have peanut butter

Then you could make a Thai Satay Sauce with the peanut butter!






Satay Sauce

1/4 c Oil
2 Cloves garlic, minced
1 Onion, chopped
1 ts Ground dried red chili peppers
3 Kaffir lime leaves
1/2 ts Curry powder
1 tb Chopped fresh lemon grass
1 c Coconut milk
1/2 c Milk
1 Two inch stick of cinnamon
2 ts Tamarind sauce
3 tb Fish sauce
3 tb Brown sugar
3 tb Lemon juice
1 c Chunky peanut butter


Heat your oil and saute the onion, garlic, chili peppers, bay leaf, curry powder and lemon grass a couple or three minutes. Stir in the coconut milk, milk, cinnamon, tamarind, fish sauce, brown sugar, lemon juice and peanut butter. Reduce heat and stir frequently to prevent sticking. Cook about 30 minutes, watching carefully and stirring. This sauce may be served over boiled shrimp, with marinated grilled beef, or with grilled chicken.

Nice recipe of my granny's for a salady side dish:

Boiled rice - allow to cool
Mayonnaise
Chopped boiled eggs
Peanuts

Mix all together and serve - always amazes everyone when they have it for the first time how yummy it is.

If you're concerned about the salt you could try rinsing them off then adding some to stir-fries etc

I have given up salt in all homemade food so I really notice salt now when I eat out or eat :eek: Chilled meals, pizza's etc:eek: . Ate a Chicago Town cheese pizza about 6pm tonight. My mouth is still dry and salty.

Its funny how quickly you get used to no salt. Thought I could never do it. Now I spend my time looking for unsalted pistaschio nuts etc.

If you are struggling to give up salt in boiled potatoes my tip is to add a clove of garlic chopped in half when cooking.
