BOILED PEANUTS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the raw peanuts in a sink of water and swirl them around to remove any dust and dirt.
• Place in a colander, rinse again and let drain.
• Fill a large stockpot about 3/4's full of water.
• Add the washed raw peanuts.
• Place stockpot on stove and turn the heat to Medium-High, let come to a rolling boil.
• Cover the pot, reduce the heat to Medium and let boil for about 3 hours.

BOILED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Wash the peanuts and place them in a pot. Add salt and water. Bring the water to a boil.
• Let the water boil for 3 hours.
• Taste the peanuts, if they are not salty enough for your taste add more salt. If you would like the peanuts to be softer, return the water to boil and cook until they reach the consistency you desire.

BOILED RAW PEANUTS

Steps:

• Add the raw peanuts to a slow-cooker; add water to cover, then add the salt.
• Place the lid on the slow-cooker; cook on HIGH.
• Every 2 hours, while the peanuts are cooking, give them a stir, and add additional water if needed (the water should always be at about the same level as the peanuts).
• With the exception of you spot checks--the slow-cooker should be kept covered throughout the cooking process.
• When the peanuts have cooked 6 hours, taste them (you do remove the outer shell before eating one).
• If they are too salty, remove some of the salty water and replace it with fresh water.
• If they are not salty enough, add more salt.
• Continue cooking for at least a few hours more--every hour after the initial 6 hours of cooking, remove a peanut, let it cool down, and taste for doneness.
• The final product should be tender yet firm and should be salty and earthy in taste.
• The cooking process can take up to 12 hours to reach this point (the proper cooking time is very subjective; cook the peanuts to your taste).
• When desired doneness, drain the peanuts and serve them warm.

GREEN JUMBO BOILED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Pour green peanuts into very large stockpot.
• Fill with water, until pot is about 2/3 full leaving enough room for the pot to boil without overflowing.
• Pour in salt and stir into water.
• Turn on high heat and bring water to a boil.
• Turn heat on low or med-low and keep it at a low boil or simmer.
• Cook 10-12 hours slowly, stirring occasionally and taste water to see if salt is needed.
• Turn off heat and allow to soak for an hour or two. Soaking allows the peanuts to really get the brine taste.
• Reheat when you are ready to eat.
