Premotor (mirror area) is the part of the the brain in which mirror neurons are found. The frontal lobe (inferior frontal gyrus) is the Broca's area; an area associated with the production of language.
It has been found that mirror neurons are doing more than just responding to a particular pattern of stimulation. In other words neurons have been discovered that ''respond to sounds that are associated with actions''. Looking back at the 1990's Giacomo Rizzolatti and coworkers' experiment with monkeys we can see that ''these neurons also in the premotor cortex, called audiovisual mirror neurons, respond when a monkey performs a hand action and when it hears the sound associated with this action''.
From this it can be concluded why would Broca's area be involved in mirror neuron system. Simply because the neurons respond to the characteristics of observed actions and what the action of breaking a peanut LOOKS like and what it SOUNDS like would be an example with the monkeys in this case.
