possibilities

i like to use fermented red onions. any onion would be fine. if your onion is not fermented, add lime or lemon juice to the recipe.

your peanuts are likely toasted already. mine often aren't. it's easily remedied[c]. if you have nuts that are not peanuts, use them. that's fine.

[c] toasted nuts
