HOMEMADE BOILED PEANUTS

From the fine book, Bill Neal's Southern Cooking


  • 2 cups peanuts (raw and in the shell)
  • 4 cups water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

-- Place the raw peanuts, still in their shells, into a saucepan.
 
-- Add the water and salt, then bring to a rolling boil.
 
-- Reduce the heat to a good simmer and cook peanuts approximately 25 minutes.
 
-- Preparation time will vary slightly depending upon the size and freshness of the peanuts.
 
-- When done, the peanut kernels should have swollen to fill the pod well and the taste of raw starch will have been dissipated.
 
-- The peanut will remain slightly soft and chewy.
 
-- Serve hot still in the shell, or cold after draining.
 
-- Pour yourself a cold beer and get slippery!
