(1) TAKE
– onions
– honey (vegan: agave syrup)
– chili paste (sambal brandal)
Caramelise the onions with some oil, add some chili paste after a while
(2) TAKE
– pumpkin (Muscat goes very well with the disc, but Hokkaido would also be a good choice)
– potatoes (primarily waxy or waxy)
Cut in little pieces and fry with the onions on medium – high heat.
Add some coconut oil, if you want so nothing sticks to the pan or gets burned.
(2) TAKE
– peanut sauce (mix from dry ingredients or take the crunchy peanut butter with 1/2 -3/4 litre of hot water, you know, the one from breakfast with jam….)
– chili paste (add more, if you want)
– salt
– sweet chestnuts (if frozen add now, if pre cooked already they just need to get heated up. Add after 15 minutes, do not overcook them.)
Cook on medium temperature for around 20 minutes in total. Check regularly and stir. If everything is soft, it’s done.
DONE.
WHAT TO SERVE IT WITH
Salad! As a side dish, sprinkle with some peanuts.
FACTS.
Peanut Butter. You either love it or hate it. Vote for love. Most of the sweet treats contain palm oil, this one doesn’t. Compared to chocolate (e.g. Nutella) Peanut Butter is lower in sugar, higher in protein and often even lower in unhealthy fats. Look for the natural Peanut Butter, with no added sugar or other oils. The less processed, the more convenient it is for a solid fitness treat.
There is also a low fat option to pep up Protein Shakes – powdered Peanut Butter. Try, you’ll love it. Remember: peanuts contain protein. You need those little molecules for regeneration!
Dried Peanut for cooking
You’ll find those mostly in Asian or Indian super markets. They come in a block, don’t be shy asking someone in the store to take the right mixture as there are plenty of confusing variations out there.
Powdered Peanut Butter
Best for Shakes or Smoothies. Combine with berries and your favourite milk combination. Not good with veggies tho (in case you were asking yourself).
Crunchy/Creamy Peanut Butter
Best to spread it on butter and top with jam (the dark kind), really. If you still want more (who doesn’t want it?), add to any kind of pumpkin and/or potato dish as sauce. To make a sauce add hot water on 1-2 Tablespoons of Peanut Butter, wait a few seconds and stir to get a creamy sauce. Add a little salt!
