Salt to taste

Method

Place groundnuts in a wide frying pan or pot and roast on medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring all the time. The groundnuts should turn brown - be careful not to let them burn.

When groundnuts are fully roasted, place them on a tray to let them cool completely - for about 30 minutes.

Blend the groundnut together with nutmeg, crayfish, seasoning cube and pepper. Blend them until you have a fine paste. 

Sprinkle some salt and stir properly to get a fine and uniform paste.

Package the paste in plastic containers and seal it properly to increase its shelf life.
