These are expensive to buy, but easily prepared at home. It is best to do them in small quantities as required, as they get soft with keeping. Throw the al-mands into boiling water for five minutes to loosen the skins. Take off the skins, ry with cloth and fry them in boiling oil for a few minutes, until they are a light brown colour. Drain them, and sprinkle with salt. Peanuts can be salted in the same way.
