Kulikuli
appetizers, vegetarian, nuts, african
1 lb roasted peanuts
1/4 cup peanut oil, or to taste
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon salt
1 oil for frying
Grind or pound the nuts adding just enough oil to make a smooth paste. With wet hands, squeeze the mixture to remove any excess oil. Saute the onions, cayenne & salt in a tablespoon of oil until golden. Knead into the nut paste. Shape into 1" diameter balls adding a few drops of water if necessary to make them hold together. Drop the balls into hot oil or flatten & fry in a skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the outsides are crisp.
