And we will incorporate the rest of the seasonings, which are, 1 tablespoon of ground garlic, 1 tablespoon of ground red pepper, 1 tablespoon of ground yellow pepper, and we will fry it until the onion browns.

Then on a baking sheet, we will place the 100 gr of peanuts, and we will heat the oven to about 180 ° C, and wait for it to heat up. Now ready, we put the tray in the oven, leaving the peanuts for about 6 to 8 minutes. After time we take them out of the oven and begin to remove the peel, and then grind it until it is a powder, you can do it in a blender or if you have a better food processor.

Once this is done, we will mix the processed peanuts with ¾ cup of cabrilla broth and we will mix it in the pan with the seasonings that we had previously fried. And we cook it over medium heat, when you see that the peanut is cooked you start adding ¼ cup of evaporated milk, and you leave it until it reaches its thickness and voila, you have prepared the peanut sauce.
