PEANUT BUTTER
Ten ideas

  1. Enrich smooth pumpkin soup with a spoonful of crunchy peanut butter.
  2. To make a nutty spread for children's sandwiches, melt some good plant chocolate, combine with crunchy peanut butter, then cool until thickened.
  3. Toasted bread, spread with peanut butter and topped with crispy bacon and rocket leaves makes a terrific brunch-time snack.
  4. Swirl softened peanut butter into a tub of vanilla ice-cream and serve with hot chocolate sauce.
  5. Crunch peanut butter mixed with chopped coriander, hot chilli sauce, crushed garlic and grated ginger makes an interesting Asian dip.
  6. For a quick Thai vegetable curry, dilute the above dip with coconut milk, heat, then add chunks of sweet potato, sliced spring onions and courgettes, and gently stew.  Scatter with bean sprouts and coriander leaves before serving.
  7. Plain chocolate, melted and mixed with peanut butter and a slug of branch makes a fudge-like icing for a chocolate cake.
  8. Stir rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, some chopped garlic and chilli, along with some hot water, if necessary, into peanut butter, heat and drizzle over hot noodles.  Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
  9. Fry chopped onion, garlic, cumin and mustard seeds and mix into mashed potato with some crunchy peanut butter.  Shape into patties, fry until golden, and serve with yoghurt mixed with garam masala.
  10. Combine softened cream cheese and peanut butter to make  rich filling for shortbread biscuits.
