Recipe - Roasted Peanuts - Dau Phong Rang

One fourth cup Raw peanuts

Use shelled and skinned unsalted peanuts for this purpose. Cook a small
amount at a time and use shortly after they are roasted to preserve their
flavor. Amounts are specified in recipes using roasted peanuts.

Place the peanuts in a skillet over moderate heat and cook, stirring
constantly, until the nuts turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. Allow to
cool. Pound in a mortar with a pestle or pro cess in a spice grinder until
the peanuts are a bit chunky.

Storebought dryroasted unsalted peanuts may be substituted in recipes
calling for roasted peanuts.
