Filipino Garlic Peanuts

Start by heating a large skillet on medium heat. I find that a wok works well in this recipe.

After a couple of minutes, add oil and let it come to a shimmer. Add sliced garlic, and swirl around with a slotted spoon. Continue to swirl as the garlic tends to stic. Once garlic begins to turn golden, let it go another 30 seconds or so, then remove with a slotted spoon. Garlic can turn dark brown to the point of too bitter in a second, so just be careful.

Once removed with a slotted spoon, add to a small bowl and set aside.

Add peanuts to the same oil, and continue to swirl with the slotted spoon. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally. Once peanuts turn a darker golden brown, remove with a slotted spoon, draining excess oil. Place into a mixing bowl.

Add garlic to the mixing bowl. Add garlic salt, and then mix well to ensure everything is incorporated.

Let peanuts cool, then dig in.
