Ingredients

  • cup cilantro leaves fresh chopped (from 2 bunches)
  • tablespoons juice of lemon fresh
  • 1.8 cups peanuts raw shelled
  • 0.8 teaspoon sea salt fine
  • small serrano chiles fresh green minced ( 2 inches long)
  • medium tomatoes seeded chopped
  •  bay leaves 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • sauce pan

Directions

  1. To skin peanuts, blanch in a 3-quart saucepan of boiling salted water 1 minute, then drain well. Slip off and discard skins using your fingers and transfer peanuts to a bowl.
  2. Bring 5 cups water to a boil with bay leaf in same saucepan.
  3. Add peanuts and reduce heat to moderate, then simmer, covered, until peanuts are soft enough to crumble easily when pressed with tines of a fork, about 30 to 45 minutes. (Test 1 or 2 peanuts, leaving the rest intact.)
  4. Drain well.
  5. When peanuts are almost finished cooking, stir together tomatoes, cilantro, chiles, lemon juice, and sea salt in a bowl.
  6. Add drained peanuts and stir to combine.
