For the hummus: Set the peanuts on a baking sheet lined with paper towels and allow to air dry for 30 minutes.

This will remove some of the skins off of the peanuts.

Adjust with a tablespoon of hot water if needed.

Season with salt and pepper and transfer to your serving bowl of choice.

Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, the crumbled bacon and feta cheese.
