Nuts

So.. BoredOfJam bought me some of these - Fire Dancer Jalapeno Peanuts. Oh, and they are tasty. Problem is they were only stocked by Lakeland and they were only stocked for Christmas. Now, here we are in April, and you can’t get them in the UK at all.

So.. I thought I’d have a go and making my own. And, despite using roughly the same ingredients, I ended up making peanuts that don’t taste anything like the Fire Dancer nuts, but I like them so I thought I’d share the recipe:

Ingredients
200g salted peanuts
5g hot chilli powder
3g paprika
4g Tabasco sauce
1g garlic granules
3g onion salt
6g caster sugar
3g granulated sugar (optional)
some groundnut oil (I didn’t measure it but it was around a couple of tablespoons)

Method

Put the oil in a pan on a moderate heat. Add chilli powder, paprika and Tabasco. Mix well. Add peanuts and keep stirring until they are warm and covered with the chilli mixture. Pour peanuts onto a plate covered with kitchen roll, and press more kitchen roll on top to soak up the oil.
Now, put the caster sugar, onion salt and garlic in a bowl. Press the peanuts a bit more with the kitchen roll and then add the peanuts to the bowl.
Stir well so the nuts are all coated with the mixture, then put them in the fridge. Once cooled, optionally stir in the granulated sugar.

Hope you enjoy them. This is recipe attempt number six. Feedback welcome.
