Peanut and pumpkin seed butter
- 400 g salted peanuts
- 150 g pumpkin seeds
- 70 ml veg oil (100% rapeseed)
Blitz in a food processor until smooth. It’s fairly runny so as not to need any butter or spread with it.
If it’s a little too stiff, just add more oil.
Store in sterilised jars. Makes just under 2lb jar.
Make twice in the month- allow 25 g per person per meal
The salt value excludes any you have added yourself, as each family's tastes will differ
Take care of your family and your budget
Before putting together our meal planners we surveyed over 600 people to ask when faced with a tighter budget, which things they would struggle to give up.
