Savory Peanut butter?

[Cooking4Fun]

Is there a way to make peanut butter more savory?

If you're using commercial peanut butter, you may find it contains added sugar.

If you're making your own, all you need is peanuts.

I don't think yo have to do anything special to make it more savory. Just use it in a savory recipe.

Of course - but how much more savoury do you want?
You could add more sugar, salt and chile powder.
You could add spices and fish sauce.
You could add Indian spices.

How do you want to use it?

You could add tahini to reduce the concentration of the sweetness, or soy sauce to introduce a new flavor.

I just put plain peanuts in my food processor. If they are salted, it is more savory. Either way, left running long enough (4-5 minutes), they go to a paste then get warm and more runny. I freeze it in 1 cup containers. We use it occasionally.

I'm with GG, how are you going to use it? And, are you making it or using store bought?

There are lots of ways to make a "peanut sauce"...so how you are planning to use it is pretty important for what suggestions we might offer.

I had an idea for "fire ants on a log." The raisins could be made spicy but the peanut butter made less bland.
