Fruits lose their deliciousness without a touch of salt. Let me guide you through making 4 fantastic fruit dipping salts.
1. Peanut Salt
Ingredients:
This dish is meant to be customizable based on individual preferences.
Ingredients: - Peanuts: 300 grams - 1 tablespoon of salt (adjust according to desired saltiness)
Additional tools needed: blender or mortar and pestle
Directions: 1. Grind peanuts until smooth to make peanut butter.
Method: Heat a pan and turn on medium heat.
Note: To evenly roast the peanuts without burning, avoid overcrowding the pan.
- Stir constantly for about 10 – 15 minutes. Usually, when the peanuts are roasted, the shells tend to peel off naturally. You can taste a peanut to check if it's cooked through.
- Allow the pan to heat up before stirring for even roasting.
Note: Remember to flip the peanuts regularly to prevent burning, everyone.
- Then, place a large piece of newspaper at the bottom of the basket and pour in the roasted and still hot peanuts, wrap it up, and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Doing this, my mom says the peanut shells will come off more easily. Afterward, rub the shells with your hands to easily remove them.
- Use a blender or mortar and pestle to grind the peanuts. The coarseness depends on your preference, but I like them not too fine for a richer and tastier texture. Then add salt and mix well.
And there you have it, a wonderfully tasty salted peanut dish, you can also add sesame seeds. Enjoy with fruits or dip in veggies, it's absolutely delightful.
