Tsire Powder Mixture is a traditional spice blend from West Africa, commonly used in Nigerian cuisine. It is typically sprinkled on grilled or roasted meat, fish, or vegetables to add flavor and heat. This recipe uses salted peanuts as a base, which gives the mixture a nutty and slightly salty taste. The apple pie spice adds warmth and sweetness, while the chili powder provides a kick of heat. The resulting mixture is versatile and can be used to add flavor to many dishes, from soups and stews to marinades and dressings.

Instructions

1.	Place the peanuts in a food processor and blend until finely ground. Be careful not to over-process, or the mixture may turn into peanut butter.
2.	Add the apple pie spice, chili powder, and salt to the food processor.
3.	Pulse the mixture until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
4.	Transfer the Tsire Powder mixture to an airtight container and store at room temperature.
