Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon crushed hot red pepper

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon coarse (kosher) salt

In a large frying pan, cook garlic in olive oil over moderate heat for 1 minute. Add hot pepper and cumin.

Mix in peanuts and cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Sprinkle with coarse salt and chili powder. Mix well and store in a covered jar or tin.

These nuts improve with standing. Just don't try to eat the chilies; they are for flavoring only.
