Mexican Style Chile and Lime Peanuts
2 cups of raw peanuts (with skins)
2 limes
1-2 Chilies (or more to your taste)
1/2 teaspoon olive oil
handful of fresh mint chopped
salt
- In a large skillet toast peanuts and Chile over a med-high heat, tossing continually so not to burn. 5-8 min.
- Turn the flame on low and add olive oil and salt. Toss nuts around until evenly coated in oil and salt.
- Turn off flame and remove Chilies. Squeeze lime juice over nuts and stir as the juice evaporates, scraping the bottom of the pan.
- Chop roasted Chilies until very fine.
- Place peanuts in a decorative bowl and mix in mint and Chilies.

Hi there-
This looks delicious and I can't wait to make it.
Where can one buy these peanuts?
You can buy them anywhere that sells bulk. I bought these peanuts in china town in Manhattan. They came in a huge sack and were remarkably cheep.
What kind of chiles do you recommend? I like my food spicy, so would serranos work?
Thanks
