Miso-Peanut Spread

Use this nutty, sweet and salty spread as a stand-in for peanut butter, or serve with crudités. I like to pipe it onto rounds of cucumber and slices of jicama.

Ingredients

• 1 ounce peanuts (heaped 1/4 cup), roasted
• 1 ounce unsalted, unsweetened smooth peanut butter (3 1/2 tablespoons)
• 2 tablespoons white or yellow miso

• 1 tablespoon mirin

2/3 cup

Preparation

1. Place the roasted peanuts in a plastic bag or a pastry bag and place on your work surface. Roll over the bag with a rolling pin until the peanuts are crushed.
2. Combine the crushed peanuts, peanut butter, miso, honey, mirin and orange zest in a bowl and stir together until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to use.

• Advance preparation: This will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator but you may want to thin it out a little with water or a little orange juice.
