Crunchy Peanut
Nougat is simple to make, but very
dangerousJ …be
careful because you cannot stop eating this delicious treat!
First, you need a
non stick pot. Add 300 gr of sugar with
a drop of lemon juice and water, then heat
it over the fire until you obtain a very clear caramel.
At this point, add 250 gr. of shelled peanuts(
deprived of their red little skins), mix for a second and then switch off the
gas.
The nougat
is now very very hot, and you must be extremely careful because it may seriously
burn you. Now pour it on a parchment paper or an oiled cake tin, but please be
very very careful.
Spread it
till it reaches the thickness you want. For this operation I use the rind side of half of a lemon. Before it cools,
smooth it with the blade of a knife, and
then let it cool down to room
temperature.
You may store it in a tin box wax paper to
separate one piece from another
