want sandwich spreads, I'd rather have a main dish or vegetable stew.

Grind 'em up and put 'em in a stew, then! Here's one that uses peanuts:

The reason is that I've come into a bunch of stale nuts from trail
mixes, they're not exactly palatable for hand eating but would be fine

Deb's got a good point though - if they're rancid you may not want to
eat them. Or is it just that their texture's suffered but you're sure
the oils haven't turned?
