The humble peanut finds its home in savoury Asian dishes – think satay skewers, Vietnamese-style salads and kung pao chicken, but has a welcome place in desserts (we’ll always make room for Lemonpiy’s peanut and miso shortbread bars). Its the crunch and occasionally salty hit of peanuts that add texture and dimension to a dish.
