Spicy Peanut Vinaigrette

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 cup roasted unsalted peanuts
• 6 dried árbol chiles, stemmed (we also added a ½ ancho chile because we had some)
• 8 black peppercorns
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small white onion, halved
• juice of whole lime
• 1 tsp. kosher salt

Preparation

Heat an 8 inch skillet over medium heat, and add peanuts, chiles, peppercorns, garlic, and onion. Stir constantly, until onion is soft, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender and add olive oil, lime juice, salt and ½ cup water; blend until very smooth, about 2 minutes. Let cool and serve.
