Time 2h35m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pound of raw "green" peanuts (not the color green, but fresh raw peanuts which are called green peanuts)
1/4 cup kosher salt (or 2 Tbsp table salt)
4 cups water
Optional seasoning
2 tablespoons Old Bay Seasoning, smoked paprika, shrimp boil mix, or even star anise

Steps:

  • Rinse the peanuts: Thoroughly rinse raw unshelled peanuts in water
  • Put water, salt, seasoning, peanuts in a large stockpot, bring to a boil: Cover and reduce the heat just enough to maintain a low boil. Boil for 2 to 3 hours or longer (some boil their peanuts all day), until peanuts reach desired level of softness.
  • Drain and eat up within a couple of days: Boiled peanuts don't save as well as dry. Links: More on the history of boiled peanuts

INSTANT POT® SALT AND VINEGAR BOILED PEANUTS



Instant Pot® Salt and Vinegar Boiled Peanuts image

I've made Cajun boiled peanuts many times over the years but was wanting to do something different this time. While trying to come up with something, I looked over and saw a bag of salt and vinegar potato chips and thought... why not? Making boiled peanuts in the Instant Pot® is as easy as 1-2-3. Pour them in and walk away. No more babysitting the pot of boiling water on the stove.

SALTED BOILED PEANUTS



Salted Boiled Peanuts image

This is a southern delicacy. Try them hot or cold. After they are done break off the shell they are soooo juicy and better than dry roasted. IMHO They also freeze well and can be heated up in the microwave.

Time 3h10m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 lbs raw peanuts, still inside the shell
10 ounces salt
water

Steps:

  • Rinse all dirt off of peanuts inside of sink and drain.
  • Place peanuts inside a large pot that leaves about 4 to 6 inches of room at the top of the pot.
  • Cover peanuts with water leaving until the peanuts float to within 2 inches from the top of the pot.
  • Add salt. A good hint is that all the salt you add will not be directly absorbed by the peanuts. So you can be generous.
  • Bring to a rigorous boil and continue until soft. The time to boil depends on the peanuts and I think it is best done outside.
  • Allow peanuts to absorb brine untill desired salty taste. About 1 hour +or -.
