Wasabi Peas Snack
The amount of wasabi in this recipe can be adjusted to make the peas more or less spicy. After coating the dry-roasted peas with the wasabi mixture, the peas will cluster. This gives the snack a nice homemade appearance.
2 cups dried whole peas
2 tablespoons olive oil
Wasabi Coating
4 teaspoons wasabi powder
2 tablespoons tahini
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Soak the peas in water to cover overnight. Preheat the oven to 200°. Drain the peas, then cook them according to instructions on the package. Mix the olive oil with the cooked peas until well coated.
Oil a baking sheet and spread the peas evenly across it. Place in the oven and bake for 5 hours, until the peas appear dry and are crisp when bitten into.
Combine coating ingredients in a mixing bowl, then add mix to the hot peas making sure that all the peas are evenly coated. Using a rubber spatula, spread the peas on the baking sheet, separating as many as you can. Increase the oven temperature to 250°. Bake the peas for 10 to 15 minutes, until the coating is dry. Makes about 4 cups
To serve, recrisp them, without thawing, in a 325-degree oven for 5 to 8 minutes, or just until hot. |
