Black Chilli Crisp with Peanuts and Salted Black Bean

Traditionally Chinese chilli crisp will often incorporate granulated peanuts.  We've left them out of some of our other recipes in order to lean into some more innovative flavour combinations but we've brought them back in this little number for the purists.  Visually this crisp is a little special with its dark, almost black colouring that really pops on light dishes such as rice and eggs.  The inclusion of earthy Salted Black Beans with their firm texture plays of against the rich, nutty, crunchy peanuts both in terms of flavour and texture while the interplay of other complementary flavours from the aromatics and chilli create a wonderfully complex and balanced condiment.
