Nuts – New and Improved

Never understood the phrase “new and improved”. If it’s “new” this implies it hasn’t existed before, so how can it be “improved”? And if it’s “improved” this implies it has been around for a while, so how can it be “new”… anyway…

I’ve made some improvements to my chilli nuts recipe :

New and Improved Ingredients
200g salted peanuts
4g Tabasco sauce
3g paprika
3g hot chilli powder
1g garlic granules
3g onion salt
8g sugar
2tbsp groundnut oil

New and Improved Method
Warm the oil in a pan, add the peanuts. Add chilli powder, paprika and Tabasco. Mix well. Keep stirring until the peanuts are warm and covered with the chilli mixture. Sieve peanuts to get rid of excess oil and chilli mixture, then pour peanuts onto a plate covered with kitchen roll, and press more kitchen roll on top.
Now, put the onion salt and garlic granules 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, stir in the sugar.
