Peanuts

Peanuts, groundnuts, or monkey nuts are not a nut but a legume and are a popular snack in many parts of the world. In India, they are eaten boiled or roasted. Because they are similar in their composition to nuts, peanuts can be used in various dips, spreads, and sauces, such as the Peanut Muhammara used in the Egg Sandwich and the Green Beans + Cucumber Noodles. When roasted, peanuts take on a wondrous smoky flavor that can be used to build smokiness in various dishes.
