Peanut butter
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. The peanut butter is made without any additives. But if oil does not start to release from the nuts while blending, add a couple of teaspoons of olive oil. The recipe indicates proportions for 100 grams of nuts, but you can make a larger batch right away. Be careful with salt—you can use less. The ready dessert can be served immediately.
