spicy roasted peanuts, take 2

Melt 2 tbsp butter in saucepan. stir in 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp salt, 3/4 tsp cayenne pepper, 1 1/2 tsp piment d’espelette (dried Basque chili peppers, available online). Pour mixture over 5-6 cups fresh peanuts and stir well to coat. Roast peanuts in a 350F oven for 25-30 minutes. Let cool and enjoy!

Bon appetit!

Wine pairing: a Basque Txakoli would be an excellent compliment to the Piment d’Espelette. An Albarino would be lovely as well. Cheers!
