Home made peanut butter

I have always bought a jar of peanut butter since the time i knew peanut butter existed.Until a few weeks ago i saw on tv how easy it was to make it at home, and since then I was itching to make it at home.And i discovered its not only easy but can be made sweet free and less oilier than the bottled ones.

We love peanut butter and to have this home made one is even more better as its free from preservatives and unwanted fat and sugars.

Bread is my all time anytime favourite snack to munch on.This easy and healthy sandwich is so yummy and it has fruit so double yummy!

To make the peanut butter, its not a recipe exactly just the rough procedure :

You need 

Roasted and peeled peanuts as much you need

Oil (i used sunflower oil) 2 3 tablespoons

Rock salt a pinch

Honey as much as you need (if you need to sweeten it)

• Add all the stuff to a blender or food processor and make into a creamy peanut butter.Add enough oil to make the peanut butter nice and smooth or crunchy as per your taste.

To make the sandwich : spread peanut butter and jam generously on slices of bread and chop a banana and place them in between the bread slices and enjoy.

Hope you all enjoy some creamy delicious home made peanut butter and enjoy your peanut butter sandwich with a hot cuppa tea!

Tips:

• Store peanut butter in a clean glass bottle in the refrigerator and it's been good so far been a week now for me.
• I didn't add any sweetener like i mentioned earlier as we usually have peanut butter and jam and jam is loaded with sugar.Just the salt is good enough to make it taste good.
• You need to add enough oil to get the right spreading consistency.
• Check if your mixer jar is dry else the peanut butter may not stay good for too long.

Falafel sandwich

These falafels turned out much crispier than my other recipe here.One of my friend told me to try this way and i liked it so much so i used it as a sandwich filling with some tahini sauce.An amazing sandwich with a Mediterranean twist :)

This makes a perfect weekend breakfast with your morning tea to wake you up :)

You need 

Bread slices as required

Chick peas 1cup

Garlic 2 pods

Coriander leaves 2 sprigs

Cumin seeds 1/2 tsp

Lime juice a few drops

Salt to taste

Green chilli 1

Oil to deep/shallow fry 

• Soak the chick peas for a few hours or overnight and drain the water completely.Coarsely grind this with the garlic,cumin, green chilli and coriander leaves.This mixture shouldn't be too fine it has to be coarse and grainy and do not add much water else you won\t be able to shape the falafels.
• After grinding this add salt to taste and the lime juice.
• Make small balls or patties of the mixture and deep/shallow fry them and drain on paper towel.

For the tahini spread: Mix 1 tsp of tahini paste with 2 tsp of yogurt and add salt and pepper to taste.

To assemble the sandwich:

• Spread the tahini sauce on each slice of bread and arrange the falafels inside the bread slices with any vegetables in your fridge :) 
• The falafels taste amazing with the tahini sauce just like that :)) 

• Serve them as it is or toast them.I like them as it is reminded me of the falafel shawarmas i used to have when i was younger!
