Spicy Roasted Nuts

Spicy roasted peanuts are the country’s quintessential pub snack. By now, it won’t surprise you that I give it my own special twist! This recipe is so easy and quick, and well worth the extra effort before your mates come round.

INGREDIENTS

SERVES: 4

1 tablespoon Curry Powder (see page 241)

2 teaspoons table salt

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

4–6 teaspoons water

500g peeled peanuts

METHOD

1: Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas Mark 4. Mix the curry powder, salt, cayenne, cumin and turmeric together in a bowl. Stir in the water until a paste forms.

2: Add the peanuts and make sure they get a good coating.

3: Transfer the peanuts to a roasting tray. Place the tray in the oven and roast the peanuts for 5 minutes.

4: Give them a good stir, then return the tray to the oven and roast the peanuts for a further 5 minutes.

5: Repeat this process 4 or 5 times until the paste has dried and the nuts have a lovely toasted flavour and aroma.

6: Leave to cool, then enjoy with a good beer.
