I got an idea after doing some smoked peanuts, inspired by Hawg. Last time I did them, I did two batches. One batch was honey, chili powder and brown sugar. The other was just black pepper, salt and olive oil. They both turned out good, but salt and pepper batch was really oily even after being cooked. So I had an idea to try something different.
Today I mixed up 2 teaspoons of black pepper, 2 teaspoons of salt and 2 tablespoons of regular cheap yellow mustard and 13 oz of raw peanuts.
As I write this, I am waiting for the Egg to heat up to 350. Then I will smoke them for about 15 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes.
The idea is the same putting mustard on steaks. After they are grilled, you cannot taste the mustard but acts like a "glue" to hold the spices on. We'll see how it works out.
