Ingredients

• 200 g Peanut ( raw with skin )
• 50 g Sesame seed ( whole )
• 1 tsp Gray sea salt
• 1 tbsp White sugar

Instructions

1. Dry Roasting

   Heat a pan over medium heat without fat. Toss in peanuts and sesame seeds. Stir constantly. When peanuts shine and sesame starts to pop, it's ready.

2. Quick Peeling

   Pour hot peanuts into a clean towel. Rub vigorously to loosen the brown skins. Blow gently to clear them away.

3. Manual Crushing

   Place peanuts in a mortar. Crush with brief pressures to get irregular pieces. Avoid a food processor which would turn it into a paste.

4. Final Seasoning

   Mix the peanut shards with sesame, sea salt, and sugar. The texture should be grainy and dry.

Chef's tips

• Never take your eyes off the pan, peanuts burn in ten seconds.
• The grain must be irregular to provide texture in the mouth.
