Best Green Jumbo Boiled Peanuts Recipes

GEORGIA-STYLE BOILED PEANUTS

Steps:

BOILED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Wash the peanuts well to make sure all the dirt is dislodged. I usually fill the sink, dump the peanuts in and agitate them.
• Place the peanuts in a very large pot and add water to cover the peanuts by 1 inch or more.
• Add salt and stir well. Remember that a huge amount of the salt gets discarded with the cooking brine.
• Bring it all to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer, cover and cook until done. Start testing for doneness after about 4 hours. The peanuts should have a soft, but not mushy, texture. Cook longer if needed. Sometimes it takes 6 or more hours for the peanuts to cook.
• After the peanuts are done, drain the brine and store the peanuts in the refrigerator. Don't let them sit in the brine as they'll become too salty.

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.
