Tsire Powder Mixture Recipes

TSIRE POWDER MIXTURE

Steps:

• Grind the peanuts to dust.
• Add the spices and salt. Mix until well blended.
• Use immediately or store tightly closed in a cool place for up to 6 weeks.

TSIRE SPICE

Steps:

• 1. Place the peanuts into a food processor and pulse till you get small peanut bits. You are looking for small enough bits to make this a spice mixture not spiced peanuts.
• 2. Throw in all the rest of the ingredients into the food processor and pulse until fully mixed. Store in an air tight jar for up to a month. You can freeze this too. The peanuts will go bad after a while so be careful.
• 3. Tip. The dryer the peanuts the better. Dry roasted works here but the taste is not the same. If you get wetter peanuts roast them a little longer, say 20 minutes in the oven at 250 degrees. Don't burn them just get the water out.
