Meanwhile, put a small frying pan on a medium heat and tip in the peanuts. Toast for 2-3 mins till browned, then tip onto a plate. Set aside to cool a little, then roughly chop the peanuts.

Thinly slice the chilli (you can halve it and scoop out the seeds and pith for less heat) and slide it into a large bowl. Peel and grate in the garlic and ginger. Grate in the lemon zest and squeeze in the juice. Add 2 tbsp tamari and 1 tbsp olive oil. Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Add the onion to the dressing and stir together. Set aside.
