wait till I tell you about refried beans
I misread that title as Humans and peanut butter are close relatives. Was starting to think I was nuts.
Was starting to think I was legumes.*

Or, as the Germans call it, “jein”.

It’s just a joke word combining “ja” and “nein”. It’s like English’ “yesn’t”.
Na

One I snack on with unsalted tortilla chips, the other I do not. But now I have to try it.

I always thought jelly on corn chips would be good, but maybe that’s nacho jam.

I was going to make a joke about a hummus and jelly sandwich, but now that I think about it, that might be pretty good.
Thinking about a tart cherry jam with hummus on a pita.
congratulations, you have achieved peace in the middle east, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the IOF are organizing a joint operation to stop you.
I just made spicy peanut butter for some ramen yesterday on a whim, it was very good.
On that note, sriracha sauce on ice cream is pretty good. Add some salt for more enhancement.
I haven’t gone too crazy with it, but dropping my ideas of what foods do and don’t go in main courses or desserts has improved both of them for me. Sausage and savory chocolate sauce is great, and apples are a lot like potatoes when cooked in a savory dish, while doing the same sweet/sour/salty/umami balancing for desserts makes them better (note that that doesn’t mean to make them all equal, dessert will still be sweet overall, just if you add representation for all the flavour groups other than bitter, it’ll usually enhance the taste).
But what about the Tahini?
Peanuts and chickpeas are both legumes.
Tahini is made from sesame seeds. So, I’d say not as closely related.
Tahini is a vital ingredient in hummus.
forgetting that there’s tahini in there is like thinking mayo is just raw blended eggs
That seems like the exact point they were making.
No, LordMayor did not seem to understand why Tahini was being mentioned.
I read it as “because chickpeas and peanuts are both legumes, one could see the comparison, however, since tahini is included, peanuts would not work well as a replacement”
You are giving them way too much credit.
Or you’re overconfident. Thanks for the downvote.
So almond butter isn’t in the same category as peanut butter?
Did you smell burnt toast…?
That’s what I was going to put my hummus and peanut butter on!
D=s
I agree, superficially they’re similar but Hummus is emulsified in an external fat, the tahini, while peanut butter is emulsified in its own fat.
Tahini is closer to peanut butter than hummus, hummus is like making a peanut sauce from the peanut butter.
Refried beans
Hummus is just chickpea butter.
Bad hummus is. Good hummus will have other ingredients like garlic and lemon.
Peanut butter is the opposite. Good peanut butter is just ground peanuts. Bad peanut butter includes a bunch of random garbage like sugar and palm oil. You know peanut butter is good if it has oil on top at the store.
People who downvoted this: Was it the opinion on hummus or on peanut butter that you disagreed with? I must know!
Maybe because they forgot the tahini
And mayo is just raw eggs
I’ve used peanut butter in place of tahini to make humm-ish before. Not bad at all.
Yeah, I use unsweetened peanut butter (effectively just mushed peanuts) in lots of recipes where tahini would normally be used.
I still need to figure out, if I’m using tahini wrong. 😅
Sesame always tastes bitter to me, as does tahini. Peanut butter doesn’t…What do you mean by “unsweetened peanutbutter”? There’s sweetened peanutbutter? Is that some kraft foods shit?
Just check the ingredient list on the packaging, if they have it. At least here in the Netherlands, “normal” peanut butter contains more palm fat than peanut and it contains quite some sugar as well. I can taste the sugar and dislike it, but then I grew up with “100%” peanut butter, containing only peanuts and nothing else, so I may be used to something weird compared to my countrymen.
From what I’ve gathered, peanut butter in the USA contains a lot of sugar, too.
Peanut butter can have extra sugars due other ingredients. Natural peanut butters do not. Interestingly enough, Walmart brand (which is about as cheap as you can get) peanut butter has 4g sugar. So 4g sugars for Walmart vs 1g sugars for organic 100% peanuts. It’s more, but not a whole lot more.
Well, whenever I’ve talked about this in the past, there was always someone who asked “You put (sweet) peanut butter into your savory food?!”.
Wikipedia also says that it commonly contains sweeteners: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peanut_butter
But yeah, not sure if that’s maybe specifically a thing in the US. They do love to put sugar into everything and I just came across this article, which mentions that when PB&Js became popular in the US, sugar was still seen as good: https://www.thetakeout.com/why-americans-love-peanut-butter-best-vs-rest-of-world-1850648598/
Interesting. When I’ve tried pb&j for the first time (during the aughts), I thought regular peanutbutter complemented ham (or marmalade) really well already. Maybe even better with some salt.
Mixing sweet with more sweet is a very kids thing to do.
In the US most brands peanut butters have added sugar. It looks like you might be in Canada and I wouldn’t be surprised if the same is true there.
I think the dominant flavor is still salty, but it’s been a long time since I’ve had Jif or Skippy.
Yes bad at all.
Got a falafel with peanut butter based hummus once. left the restaurant after the first bite, more disapointing than the GOT finale
Yep. It’s the recommended substitute if you have no tahini on hand. There is a slight change in flavor profile, but if you add enough garlic, no one is likely to notice.
Roasted sunflower seeds also work great
Dropping some truth bombs out here. I’ll tell ya, people love grinding shit up.
Funny because I would die for peanut butter but detest hummus
I was like that. I really didnt like some. I got some beetroot hummus and it changed me, Ill put it on anything. Now I love the stuff, roast veg on hummus and flatbread is bliss.
Baba ganoush too
If you’ve only had Sabra, I wouldn’t blame you. There are many brands and homemade can be among the best.
Both taste good on burgers but not together
yes, and if you want them to be even closer, take out the lemon, chickpeas and garlic. the tahineh is soooo close to peanut butter. it’s deeee-lish
These are just a couple of the savory Nutellas out there. Refried beans, mushy peas, etc…
Nutella can never even be inferred to be a nut butter lol. It is literally >50% sugar and palm oil. Only 13% hazelnuts. In 2017 they reduced the chocolate solids further and added more sugar and more skimmed milk powder. Almost half its calories is from sugar.
The traditional hazelnut butter was 71.5% hazelnut paste and 19.5% chocolate, but nutella doesn’t even have enough cocoa powder to have the label of “chocolate cream” in many countries.
So, is there a not-Nutella that still has 2/3 hazelnut cream?
Btw, i like pure almond puree with butter.
And chocolate
Not really a close relative, cacao is not a legume
It’s called chocolate beans but neither peanuts nor chickpeas are called beans so it’s quite a scratch
Chickpea = Garbanzo bean
So are me and my cousin Methue.
Nobody ever doubted it.
