Categories: Mexican Spice
Yield: 1 Servings

1		Handfull small dried red
		Chiles (de arbol, cayenne,
		Japones ..)
2		Garlic cloves, peeled and
		Chopped
2	tb	- peanut oil
1	ts	Coarse salt
2	lb	Shelled, roasted peanuts
		(salted or unsalted)
		Chile powder

Cut chiles crosswise into sections about one quarter inch long. Pour salt over diced garlic and mash slightly (leave it kinda chunky) with the back of a dinner fork. Saute chile pieces and garlic in oil until the chile pieces are darkened but not burnt. Stir in the peanuts and saute for a minute or two more, stirring constantly to coat peanuts with the oil. Spread on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees fahrenheit, stiring as needed to keep from burning, until peanuts are lightly browned. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with chile powder while still hot.
