Peanut sauce

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make peanut sauce at home? Prepare all products. Wash the green cilantro, dry and finely chop. Peel the walnut, rinse it anyway, dry it between towels, and let it dry well. Or, if desired, lightly fry in a dry frying pan. I took boiled water, lukewarm. Peel the garlic cloves and chop finely. I had large garlic, you can use less of it, depending on your taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   You can buy store-bought pomegranate juice, but I made it myself. Take a ripe pomegranate, wash and peel. Carefully separate the grains. Take gauze and fold it into 4 layers.

3. STEP 3

   

   Then everything is simple: put a small part of the grains in gauze, wrap and squeeze. The result is a wonderful, completely natural juice; the pulp can be thrown away.

4. STEP 4

   

   Dilute pomegranate juice with warm water.

5. STEP 5

   

   Place the nuts in a blender and grind until very fine. Add finely chopped herbs and garlic, scroll everything again. If necessary, open the blender, scrape the mixture off the sides with a spatula, and blend some more.

6. STEP 6

   

   Dilute the nut butter with juice and water and mix in a blender in short pulses.

7. STEP 7

   

   The mass will become homogeneous. Add salt and spices. In Georgian cuisine, these are necessarily suneli hops and red hot pepper. The pepper is very hot, I added just a little bit. If you have it, add saffron and mix everything together.

8. STEP 8

   

   The sauce is ready, taste it, if necessary, add salt and mix everything well again. The consistency of the sauce is not very liquid; it can even be easily spread on bread or pita bread. The taste is difficult to describe

9. STEP 9

   

   Georgian nut sauce can be served immediately, but if the sauce is closed and put in the refrigerator for 4 hours, it will infuse and the taste will only improve. Before serving, stir the sauce and garnish with herbs and pomegranate seeds, if desired.
