How do you make boiled peanuts?

Answer 1

"Ramrods" recipe is dead on. However, I like to add some fresh Garlic, Rosemary, & HOT Peppers to my "boil". Makes 'em more "Flavorful"!

(4-8 garlic cloves (minced), 4 Sprigs of Rosemary, 4 (minced) jalepenos)

Isn't it amazing that some people don't know that "Peanuts" are in the "Legume" family? That's right people, peanuts are "beans"!

Answer 2

Boiled Peanuts 4 pounds green (or Raw) peanuts in shell
6 quarts water
6-60 tablespoons salt
(I like em Salty!)
(Be sure to have a pitcher of sweet tea ready, cause they'll make ya thristy!)

Select and wash peanuts. Place in a large kettle with water and salt. Cover, bring to a boil and boil slowly for 1-1/2 to 2 hours. Water should be briny. More water and salt may be added during cooking if necessary. Test for doneness. Peanuts should be soft inside, but not mushy. Allow to soak for 30 minutes. Drain. Serves 6.

Peanuts may be frozen in plastic bags after cooling. To reheat, place in salted water, bring to a boil, drain and enjoy!
