Salted Nuts in Spices
Description
The appetizer is prepared quickly and simply. If you're lucky enough to buy already shelled peanuts, the cooking time will be shorter, but the recipe won't change. First, roast the peanuts until partially done, then add salt, spices, oil, and dry them in the oven until fully cooked. As for the choice of spices, I use very finely ground in a mortar: cayenne pepper, lemon pepper, dried garlic, fenugreek, and a pinch of sugar. Taste. Serve with greens and sauce.

3. Be careful not to over-roast the nuts! Remember that they cool down slowly, like seeds, so it is better to remove them from the heat while they are still slightly underdone.

4. Let the nuts cool. Shell them. This is easy to do: take a handful of nuts in your palms and rub them gently against each other. Blow on them, and only the nuts will remain in your hands. Add butter, salt, and spices. Mix well.
