el tour de la cocina
Peanut flour has been a staple of African cooking for a long, long time. It has been part of the American diet for a couple of decades too, but not in its powdered form. Well, at least not in a way that you’d recognize. If you’re a PB&J person, you’ve been eating it for years.
YOU PROBABLY EAT IT BUT DON'T KNOW IT
Especialmente en Norteamérica, millones de personas consumen a diario harina de cacahuete en forma de mantequilla de cacahuete "para untar".
Las etiquetas tienen un sutil "código" que quiere engañarte haciéndote creer que palabras como "mantequilla de cacahuete para untar" o "natural" significan "sólo cacahuetes".
¿No es así?
El aceite de cacahuete es oro líquido. Entre 0,75 y 1,00 dólares la onza al por menor, el aceite se extrae de toneladas de cacahuetes y se vende por separado.
Muchas mantequillas de cacahuete comerciales, incluidas las mantequillas de frutos secos comerciales "naturales", son harina de cacahuete reconstituida con otros aceites, como el de palma, para que el fabricante pueda llamarlas "naturales". ¿Lo son?
PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY AND... GASOLINE?
With the fat out of the peanut, we’re left with the protein. So we can control the fats in our dishes that use peanuts. Fat makes up about 8-10% of peanut butter. We often add it to already high fat recipes like cookies. Most ooze with oils and butterfats which collectively with the calories from the sugar, make them tasty, but bad for us.
Así podemos reducir la grasa y obtener todo el sabor del cacahuete. Lo notarás en cosas como mis tortitas de mantequilla de cacahuete, que son ligeras y aireadas, no pesadas.

¿QUÉ HAGO CON ÉL?
Oh, las cosas que puedes hacer con el poder del polvo de cacahuete:
- Peanut butter – An easy start. Add peanut oil back in, and you can control how much oil goes into your peanut butter. Use peanut oil, or substitute heart-healthy oils like avocado, or canola.
- Baked goods – From peanut butter cookies to my peanut butter-chocolate pancakes the peanut powder brings big peanut flavor, and you control how much fat you want from the oil(s). For extra peanutty goodness, I recommend adding a little peanut oil to improve the flavor, even if you have other fats. Just cut down one or more of the other fats slightly to balance out the recipe.
- Soups – Loads of soups, stews, and sauces use peanut flour as a flavorant and a thickener. African peanut soup recipes will amaze you!
- Stir-Fry – Many Thai, Indonesian, and Malay recipes, from Peanut Shrimp to Pad Thai, can use the peanut flour to thicken and amp up flavor!
- Fantastic Fish – Add to the flour of a fried fish flour coating or batter for big depth of flavor!
- Meats – Part of a good spicy meat rub, or mix into my Ragoût Thiam, a spicy peanut-infused meatball in a tomato stew.
- Smoothies – Most common usage is as a protein additive to smoothies in the Northern hemisphere.
