Toasted Peanut Guac and Chips

I recently took a trip to Australia where I got lost in Melbourne’s brekkie bowls and exceptional brews. One Saturday, I found myself brunching at beloved Thai haunt Chin Chin, where I sampled a dish which inspired me to create this guac riff. It’s a pretty standard guac recipe -- heavy on the lime juice just how I like it -- but spiked with a special treat: roasted peanuts.

Just recently, owner Daniella Hunter turned them into a retail product available at select Whole Foods around LA.
