Devilled Peanuts

• Peanuts
• Oil
• Salt and paprika, or
• Cayenne pepper

• Blanch the peanuts in boiling water, then dry in a warm oven
   
• When dry, heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a frypan over low heat (don't allow the oil to smoke!)
   
• Add sufficient peanuts to make a single layer in the frypan and cook them over low heat, stirring constantly until the nuts are evenly-coloured (don't allow them to brown)
   
• Drain the nuts on unglazed paper and while they're still hot, sprinkle them generously with salt and paprika, or cayenne pepper - easy!

Chris says: Devilled Peanuts are a great snack and they're really quick and easy to make! Use whatever quantity of salt, paprika and/or cayenne pepper suits your taste. You can also make Chilli Peanuts in a similar way by using a good chilli powder

If you want to store your devilled nuts, allow them to cool completely before you put them in the refrigerator. You can repeat the process outlined above until you've obtained the required quantity.
