I'm not familiar with boiled peanuts. I would assume you would get some useful peanut oil from the process?
Now that I think of it, there is a boiled peanut vendor at the local swap meet. At $10 bucks a pound, I just walked on by.
Ooookay. I was thinking you must take the soft shell off of them and then throw some salt on them and eat the peanut? No?
why do you want to go ruin perfectly good peanuts? I have tried boiled peanuts a couple times, just not my cup of tea. must be a acquired taste kinda thing but as long as you enjoy them , hey knock yourself out
Cook them in salt water, if they aren't salt enough you add more when you serve. Don't eat the shells.
I ate them once down south, gotta agree they ain't my cup of tea! My FIL just loves them, he acts like they are chocolates.
Tried em in the 70's while stationed in Orlando, liked em. Buddy from a small town in Florida introduced me to them...Thanks Jamie!
Interesting. Are boiled penalties a southern thing? They're all over the place here in the peanut state of course. Never occurred to me that it might not be widespread
Never heard of this but would be down to try it for sure! So what do I do, grab a sack of peanuts - un-roasted I would presume, and then toss them into a vat of boiling water. Sounds easy enough. How long you let them rumble in the water? And so what's this eating technique, you just drain them and chow down on them while they are still all mushy and damp? Clue me in on the nuances of boiled peanuts.
Raw peanuts in shell. Boil in salt water (on Woodstove is good) and then let simmer about 3 hours. Serve hot and soggy.
