Join me as I rediscover another of&nbsp;khukhu Nakhatama&#8217;s simple recipes. She once whispered to me that good food is all in the preparation. With that nugget of grandmotherly advice in mind, let&#8217;s learn how to make authentic homemade peanut butter the Luhya way.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap\">Having grown up in the village, I learnt lots of cooking shadowing my mother and Nakhatama my grandmother. Those days, life was simple, we rarely ate meat. We rarely used cooking oil bought from the store. Mom and kukhu prepared our meals either using natural butter or fat rendered from animal meat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of the delicacies that <a href=\"https:\/\/mulembenation.co.ke\/luhya-culture\/growing-up-luhya\/\">growing up <\/a>we took for granted such as: mapwoni (sweet potatoes), <a href=\"https:\/\/mulembenation.co.ke\/types-of-bubwoba-mushrooms-their-habitats-and-special-characteristics\/\">bubwoba <\/a>(wild mushrooms) and even <a href=\"https:\/\/mulembenation.co.ke\/food\/meet-mrenda-mtere-murere-queen-of-luhya-traditional-vegetables\/\">murere<\/a> (jute, a favorite <a href=\"https:\/\/mulembenation.co.ke\/food\/luhya-traditional-vegetables-list-photos-trivia-nutritional-value-try-simple-tasty-recipes\/\">Luhya traditional vegetable<\/a>) have become high value foods now. Some other foods that we considered premium foods today litter supermarket shelves thanks to commercialization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our focus today on <em>Mulembe Food<\/em> &#8212; homemade authentic peanut butter &#8211;was one of those prime meals that rarely came by. We grew and harvested a good amount of groundnuts from our farm; but it&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/mulembenation.co.ke\/food\/how-to-make-finger-licking-good-sifuluko-the-original-recipe-from-the-secrets-of-my-masaba-grandmas-kitchen-bonus-spicy-contemporary-take-on-groundnut-sauce\/\">sifuluko<\/a> that was easier to be served than peanut butter. Mother used to say that not only was peanut butter an extravagant use of chimaito (groundnuts in <a href=\"https:\/\/mulembenation.co.ke\/learn-luhya\/learn-lubukusu-bukusu-language\/\">Lubukusu<\/a>), but she also couldn&#8217;t trust us with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If everyone of the dozen of us, separetly or jointly, schemed in our little heads to steal just one teaspoon of the tasty peanut for a lick, you can imagine just how short it would take to down a jar. So we&#8217;d have peanut butter over <a href=\"https:\/\/mulembenation.co.ke\/mulembe-easter-what-if-joseph-the-carpenter-was-a-luhya-man\/\">Easter<\/a>, sigukuu (Christmas) or when special visitors visited. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make peanut butter the Luhya way, you&#8217;ll need both groundnuts and <a href=\"https:\/\/mulembenation.co.ke\/food\/traditional-luhya-ingredients\/simsim\/\">simsim<\/a>. This is how we prepared home made peanut butter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to make homemade peanut butter the Luhya way in 14 simple steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-how-to wp-block-yoast-how-to-block\"><p class=\"schema-how-to-total-time\"><span class=\"schema-how-to-duration-time-text\">Time needed:&nbsp;<\/span>2 hours and 30 minutes<\/p><p class=\"schema-how-to-description\">This is how to make homemade authentic peanut butter the Luhya way. No fancy kitchenware needed. No preservatives or additives, just good old peanut and simsim goodness in a perfect blend. <\/p> <ol class=\"schema-how-to-steps\"><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1586547351352\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Remove groundnuts from their kernels.<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">The first opportunity to ensure a good final product starts here. Dispose kernels with mold or otherwise rotten. Nuts harvested from such kernels could introduce aflatoxins to your peanut butter. <\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1586547371917\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Remove all foreign materials, shrunken nuts, premature nuts and rotten nuts. <\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">We will use 1 kilogram of groundnut. Also use this opportunity to sort them out to be of roughly the same size so that they cook evenly when roasting them. <\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1586547399959\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Wash the groundnuts and salt them.<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Salt the groundnuts when wet to allow for the salt to mix in well. <\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1586547423236\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Air the washed and salted nuts on direct sunlight for 1 hour<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Spread them out so that they can dry evenly. This helps the roasting (see next step) easier. <\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1586547448276\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Roast the groundnuts till fully cooked<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Use a sufuria and fire from a charcoal burner for best results. Toss the groundnuts periodically so that they roast evenly. Well roasted groundnuts make a crackling sound when being roasted. They also peel easily even when still hot and soft. Remember to toss frequently.<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1586547472116\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Pound the groundnuts in a mortar till they form a fine paste.<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Start with a small amount keeping adding to match the capcity of your mortar. You can also do this in batches. For extra goodness, pound a portion roughly. When this bit is added to the final batch, your peanut butter will have extra texture from their crunch.  <\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1586547507061\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Keep the groundnut paste in a container and cover<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Cover to avoid moisture loss. <\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1586547532011\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Remove simsim from their husks.<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Read our mega post for details on <a href=\"https:\/\/mulembenation.co.ke\/food\/how-to-harvest-simsim-blow-by-blow-details-of-the-slow-dry-traditional-luhya-method\/\">how to best harvest simsim using the slow dry method<\/a>. <\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1586547565631\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Remove all foreign materials form the simsim. We will use 250mgs of sim sim to make the peanut butter<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">This includes pebbles and even metallic matter depending on the conditions of the harvest. For the latter, a magnet could be of great help. <\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1586547597526\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Wash the simsim and salt it<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Was thoroughly such that any soil dissolves in the wash water and is disposed off<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1586547630498\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Over low heat, roast the simsim till fully cooked<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">The heat should be lower than the one you used for the groundnuts but the implements remain the same &#8211; sufuria and jiko. You will also need a cooking spoon to turn the simsim and help distribute the heat. <\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1586547658631\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Pound the simsim separately in a mortar to form a fine paste.<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">As you pound, the simsim clumps together and slowly becomes a paste. This step requires patience and a could make your brow sweat. <\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1586547690181\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Add the sim sim paste to the groundnut paste and mix thoroughly. <\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">The simsim paste will produce oil that will cover the groundnut paste and preserve it in an easy to spread semisolid state.<\/p> <\/li><li class=\"schema-how-to-step\" id=\"how-to-step-1586547728931\"><strong class=\"schema-how-to-step-name\">Keep the mixed groundnut paste in an airtight container for your use<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-how-to-step-text\">Enjoy as you wish. Spread it over bread or even add a tablespoon to your plate of githeri. <\/p> <\/li><\/ol><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I invite you to step into my grandmother&#8217;s kitchen.
