Adobong Mani (Filipino Style Garlic Peanuts)

RecipesFILIPINO RECIPESDec 5Written By Malu Bonifacio

The traffic in Manila is so bad that you can literally see a lot of vendors on the streets. Generally, it is mostly food or drinks that they are selling. One of the most popular item being peddled is adobong mani or fried garlic peanuts.

This is a very easy recipe especially if you crave for the abundant garlic flavour in the peanuts. The aroma of the garlic while frying the peanuts makes you hungry for more. It is quite addictive that my daughter always mix it with her salad.
