Ingredients

2 cups water

1/2 cup cornmeal

1/3 cup macadamia nut pieces

1/2 teaspoon salt

 

Method

1) Place water in a saucepan and bring to the boil.

2) Mix cornmeal with a little water to form a thick paste, add to boiling water. Reduce heat to low. Cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring continually until mixture thickens.

3) Wash macadamia nuts to remove any shell particles. Drain off water and place in a blender.

4) Add hot cornmeal and salt to nuts. Blend until smooth as butter.

 It is important to make sure cornmeal is hot when adding it to the nuts so it will set when cooled.
