Ingredients
- I lb peanut butter paste or grinded peanuts(not the boiled ones)
- ½ tbsp of dry grinded Cameroon pepper or 1tbsp dry chili pepper powder(add more or less according to your heat tolerance)
- half to one small bouillon cube. You may use salt if you prefer(if using salted peanuts, or peanut butter, always taste before seasoning)
- 8-10 ehuru seeds(roasted and grinded into a fluffy powder)
Note...Ehuru seeds are also known as calabash nutmeg
Instructions
- in a small bowl or small mortar, thoroughly mix your spices and peanut butter. Serve with kolanuts or garden eggs. Apples and pears would work too. I served mine with Thai egg plants
Note
- If using peanuts, blend until smooth. Gradually add a very small amount of oil and keep whipping until very smooth; then mix in the ingredients. The consistency may be a little different from the one made with the creamy peanut butter...refrigerate and enjoy
