Tip:
Don't have
any peanut paste handy? You can whip some up by putting some raw peanuts
in a blender, adding a little peanut oil and blending to the desired consistency.
An old-fashioned mincer (or even a mortar and pestle) will also produce a
similar result. Alternately, you can use peanut butter.
