Bubut, how do you separate the sand from the peanuts? with a strainer? Silly question, I know.

the smell of frying peanuts is unbelievably tantalizing.

Also, I couldn’t resist taking out my tub of Susanuts when I saw the photo… I keep a lot since I’m too lazy to fry peanuts ;-)

I like fried peanuts with lots of chili oil. Bytheway, if you’re a fan of garlic, you can also make some garlic in your deep fat fryer. Good for sprinkling over steaming bowls of soup this rainy season… and with nuts too.

Believe it or not when i was in gradeschool, during summer months back home, i sold some “mani”, beans (sweet), butong pakwan and kalabasa around the neighbourhood. They’re packed in this mini-clear-plastic-tiny-bags, that’s then run through the candle to close the packaging. It was my way to save money if i’m planning to buy something for myself and to sort of keep myself busy too. I remember my dad will cook the mani, and i will help him prepare them! I remember him telling me not to pack the plastic too much or else it will not close properly, and run them through the candle really wuick, or it’ll melt and it’ll leave holes! hehehe

MM. more or else how long, say how many minutes did it take to cook the peanuts? My aunt made a batch a few weeks ago, i guess she was scared to burn them, but unfortunately, it ended up being “hilaw”! hehehe

I like mine with skins and never bother to peel them. Love it spicy, lots of salt and fried garlic. When I was in college, there is this “manong” who’s been selling peanuts all his life and he was able to send his children to college. He’s been an institution there and even if there are new peanut vendors, students would still buy from him. We like him because he would willingly give out extra fried garlic if requested. Me, I will eat all the fried garlic first, then grab an ice cold coke and finish the peanuts… heaven!

MM, no need to look for humongous kawas and little stones. My ninang in Romblon would use a wok and the white sand at the back of their house near the beach. (just like the powder sand in Boracay). Great photos!

Bubut, would that be like “dry roasting” them? Wow, now I have to look for those humongous kawas and little stones… millet, yes, liberal is right… and good salt at that. shirley, that sounds interesting… I never thought to parboil first…and yikes, do they splatter more due to moisture?! erleen, ever wonder who peels them for those stores…. :) heehee. MC, Diet Coke for me! Lei, I had the plastic container on its side and took a photo near the clear plastic. No photo shop done at all, that’s too complicated for me! Cumin, do you eat the whole fried garlics? Didi, it seems to be peanut season… get some at the markets and enjoy! arlene, I answered the deep fryer question in the previous post… I haven’t seen them for sale here but maybe I wasn’t looking hard enough…beer, sprite, etc. amazing how almost any drink goes well with fried peanuts!
