Ingredients

80g whole blanched peanuts
40ml olive oil
1 banana shallot thinly sliced
300g long-stem broccoli trimmed and cut into florets
1/4 red pepper cut into thin strips
1/2 yellow pepper cut into thin strips

Method

Set your oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Arrange the peanuts on a baking tray in one layer and roast them for 15 mins until they turn golden.
Warm the olive oil in a wok. Cook the sliced shallots for 8-10 mins until browned. Increase the heat, put in the broccoli and pepper strips, and fry for 3 mins as they begin to soften.
Pour in 60ml water along with the oyster sauce and ½ tsp sea salt. Cover the wok and let it cook for 5 mins until the broccoli is tender. Mix through the roasted peanuts before serving.
