Oaxacan Peanuts image

These nuts improve with standing. The first time I put several in my mouth, I was left with a three alarm fire for hours! I've calmed these down quite a bit. This recipe was adapted from a 1972 Sunset cookbook.

Number Of Ingredients 7

20 serrano chilies, dried (about 1 inch long)

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 lbs virgina salted peanuts, blanched
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon chili powder

Steps:

  • Heat chiles, minced garlic, and olive oil in a heavy pan for 1 minute. Stir so the chiles won't scorch.
