Thai Style Spicy Cashew Peanuts
I love this quick + easy snack that is perfect to serve as a appetizer or a bar snack with cocktails and a cheese plate.
It starts with a liquid mixture filled with chili flakes, sugar, shallots, Kaffir lime leaves, soy sauce and water that is then cooled down and added on peanuts and cashews with fresh squeezed lime juice.It’s zingy, spicy and just all around just a delicious snack. I specifically love the addition of the shallots which gives flavor, crunch and acidity as well.
