Categories:

Condiment




Ingredients:





   1/4 c  Raw peanuts






 Use shelled and skinned unsalted peanuts for this purpose. Cook a small


 amount at a time and use shortly after they are roasted to preserve their


 flavor. Amounts are specified in recipes using roasted peanuts.


 


 Place the peanuts in a skillet over moderate heat and cook, stirring


 constantly, until the nuts turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. Allow to


 cool. Pound in a mortar with a pestle or pro- cess in a spice grinder until


 the peanuts are a bit chunky.


 


 Store-bought dry-roasted unsalted peanuts may be substituted in recipes


 calling for roasted peanuts.
