This is a short and sweet recipe, and is really good!

Boiled Peanuts

Shelled Peanuts ( 5 lbs) I normally use 2 full bags or 3
1 Cup of Salt
Water

Put the peanuts, water (ofcourse), and salt in a pan and let boil for 3 hours, or however soft you want the peanuts.

This is a very tastey snack, i think. There are other variations....you can have Cajun Boiled Peanuts, or Garlic and Onion but I prefer just the plain Boiled Peanuts, such as this :)

Sleuth's ''Sleeping with the fishes'' stew / soup (for four persons)

2 garlic cloves
4 tablesp. olive oil
1 leek
4 large carrots
1 courgette /zucchini
1 bay leaf (or 2; depends if you like the taste of it)
1 fish stock cube / fresh fish stock (not sure about quantity - it's listed here as a fish stock cube)
500 grams of (fresh) fish (salmon, tuna, shrimp, w/e you prefer)
250 ml single cream
Some bread (to dip at the end)
1 teaspoon of saffron
1 small bush of Parsley (to add at the end)

*** Beforehand *** - Chop the garlic very fine into pieces and cut the leek, carrots and courgette / zucchini into slices (thin). Cut the fish into several pieces (if necessary), so that you get a rich amount of different fish. Cut the parsley, as it's needed for dressing at the end.

*** Cooking Section ***

Make sure you have a large pan to fry and cook everything in. This is one big stew / soup!

Heat the olive oil and fry the garlic in it.

Once the garlic has been fried, add the slices of carrot, leek and zucchini and cook it for a minute.

When that is done, add the wine, bay leaf and the fish stock (broth / cube). Let it simmer for 10 minutes.

Then, add the fish and the single cream. Then, add the saffron. Let it boil for about +/- 5 minutes (until the fish is done).

After that, your soup / stew is done. Taste it and if needed, add pepper / salt.

Serve the stew / soup in a bowl, with some parsley and some bread next to it to dip - make sure that you don't scoop too much into a bowl, because you'll be wanting more afterwards!

Enjoy "sleeping with the fishes" - this is a meal to die for :)

*** Sidenote *** - we had about 500 grams (total!) of three varieties of fish - we had salmon, tuna and shrimp, which combined were that amount. It's best if you have a variety, so you can enjoy this soup better :)

Also, without the fish, this will make for an excellent vegetarian soup (if vegetarians are allowed to have Single Cream :) )

Oooh that sounds yummy. Usually 1 cube equals 1 cup of broth, but I wonder if substituting broth for the cube might make it not as rich and creamy.
