Barbequed Peanuts
These tasty barbequed peanuts are a delicious snack to serve with beer and wine. On top of that, peanuts are healthy - they are a good source of protein and are naturally cholesterol-free, low in saturated fat, plus contain over 30 essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. I prefer to use Virginia peanuts because they have the largest kernels, and for me, that increases snacking satisfaction. Most barbeque sauces have a high salt content, so be sure to taste the peanuts as you're mixing them up so you can add the salt just to your liking.
