Recipe Notes

from Australia’s Best Recipes team

If you have raw peanuts you need to dehusk them first. Place them into a dry frying pan and lightly toast them over a medium heat, keep watching them as they can easily burn. The peanuts will often split into two halves when the skins become loose. Then let them cool for 5-10 minutes and rub them in a paper towel to completely take off the skin. Discard the skins. When adding the peanuts to the mixture they should be cold.
