Instructions

  1. Dry-roast the peanuts in a pan over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring, until lightly golden.
  2. Let them cool completely, then rub them between your hands or in a tea towel to remove the skins.
  3. Blend the peanuts in a food processor until you get a fine powder, then a paste that starts to shine.
  4. Add the sugar, salt and oil, then blend for 2 more minutes to get a creamy texture.
  5. Taste and adjust the sugar to your liking.
  6. Transfer to a clean, dry jar and keep at room temperature for 1 week.

Variations and tips

Smoother version. Add an extra tablespoon of oil while blending for a more runny paste.
