Here
is a vegan/vegetarian snack that is very quick & easy to prepare and is always a hit
with guests. We’re fortunate that deep fried onions & garlic are available at the
local Oriental grocery store. I also used already roasted, unsalted peanuts, white
sesame seeds & chili flakes so it took me just a couple of minutes to toss
everything together in a bowl and serve.
Ingredients
1
cup unsalted peanuts
1 Tbsp. white sesame seeds
1
tsp. dried red chili flakes
4
Tbsp. vegetable oil
1
large onion, sliced in thin crescents
or 3 Tbsp. deep fried onions & skip step
#3
6
cloves garlic, diced finely
or 1 Tbsp. deep fried garlic & skip step
#4
Salt
to taste
1
Tbsp. dark sesame oil
Directions
1. Heat skillet over
medium heat and toast peanuts, sesame seeds & chili flakes.
2. Remove peanuts from
skillet and transfer to a glass bowl.
3. Heat vegetable oil &
fry onions until golden brown, drain on paper towels & add to bowl.
4. In same skillet,
fry garlic until golden brown, drain on paper towels & add to bowl.
5. Drizzle peanut
mixture with sesame oil & salt, toss to coat well & serve.
Peanuts, sesame seeds and onions make a great combo! No coriander or cilantro?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shruti. I didn't use cilantro. If you do, make sure to add it just before serving or it will be soggy. You can also add thinly sliced onions just before serving.
