Nkatie Cake (Ghanaian Peanut Brittle)

Ingredients

• •250 g roasted peanuts
• •200 g sugar
• •2 tbsp water

Directions

1. 1Line a tray with baking paper and have the peanuts weighed out beside the stove.
2. 2Put the sugar and water in a heavy pan over medium heat and leave it alone as it melts.
3. 3Cook eight minutes, swirling the pan rather than stirring, until the caramel turns deep amber.
4. 4Take it off the heat and stir in the peanuts quickly and thoroughly.
5. 5Tip onto the tray and press flat with the back of an oiled spoon.
6. 6Cool thirty minutes until hard, then break into rough pieces.

💡 Have everything ready before the sugar goes on. Caramel moves from amber to burnt in about fifteen seconds and cannot be rescued.
