   Should the peanuts be raw or can they be roasted? It is hard to find raw peanuts where I live. Most are roasted and salted.
   Also, can I use canned red beans for this?

   The peanuts in the recipe are dried raw peanuts. You can try roasted peanut, but the taste will be very different.

   For the red beans, dried red beans are the best, which is much cheaper than canned red beans.
