Homemade Peanut Butter and Hazelnut Butter

If you love nuts as much as we! This is your recipe! In Portugal this kind of butter is really expensive! So we make our own, and for me (Richie) it tastes even better! You can eat it with cookies, on bread, put it on a dessert! You name it! This is a super versatile recipe than anyone can make! Let's give it a try!

Ingredients - Peanut Butter

• 2.5 Cups Peanuts (350g)
• ¼ Cup Olive Oil
• Salt

Ingredients - Hazelnut Butter

• 2.5 Cups Hazelnuts (350g)
• ⅓ Cup Olive Oil
• Salt

Recipe

1. Turn on the oven at 180 Celsius degrees | 356 Fahrenheit degrees.

2. Place the nuts in an oven tray and put them in the oven for about 20 minutes, until they start toasting!

3. After that, place the hazelnuts in a fabric towel and rub it, this process with easily pell all the hazelnut skin off in a second.

4. After you remove the hazelnut skin, place them in a food processor and add olive oil, and turn it on at maximum speed for about 15min. Taste it and add a pinch of salt or not! 😉

5. Do the same thing to do the peanut butter ( or any kind of nuts) but notice that the olive oil amount is deferent, because when toasted the peanuts are more greasy that the hazelnuts, so they don't need as much olive oil.

6. This is super simple and easy to make! I love eating these kinds of butter with Carob Bread! You should try it.

Ps- You can always add some chunks of nuts to your butter to make it crunchy!
