My problem with peanut brittle is its allure to many others; it sticks in your teeth for days. The taste and flavors are great, I just hate picking the stuff out of my teeth. Well, we were working on a dish which, in my mind, needed peanut brittle, and Aki took some liberties. She made a curry-flavored cashew brittle. I tried it and was really pleased with the tastes, spices, and balance of flavors. The only problem is that I am still picking it out of my teeth. So, when she left the kitchen, I took some liberties. I ground the brittle into a fine powder and melted it back together into brittle cashews. The picture here is me demonstrating why I destroyed Aki’s brittle. The actual usage of the brittle will be a thin wafer to be served with some shrimp, clear buttermilk, and celery leaves.
