Salted Peanuts

Ingredients

  • 2/3 pound peanuts, (shelled)
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Cover the peanuts with boiling water; allow to stand for fifteen minutes.
  2. Place one-third of the amount in a strainer (allowing remainder to stay in water) and remove the skins.
  3. Prepare all the peanuts the same way.
  4. Place two tablespoons of oil in the frying pan, when hot add the peanuts; stir constantly with a fork and cook over a moderate fire fifteen minutes.
  5. When brown remove the nuts, add another tablespoon of oil and another third of the peanuts, continue until all the nuts are cooked.
  6. Add the salt.
  7. Lard may be used in place of oil, but the latter makes the nuts taste and brown better.
