One thing I remember Jamie telling me about buying the boiled peanuts from roadside vendors...Stay away from anyone that uses galvanized tubs/pails/garbage cans to boil them in!
Thats some good advice right there. I love boiled peanuts I like to make cajun boiled peanuts so they have a nice little kick to them. Im all alone here for eating them though so I dont make them much usually just stop at the country store down the way and get a couple quarts for a snack.
Heres a couple recipes some Ive tried and some I want to try I might try this one day http://allrecipes.com/recipe/rachaels-superheated-cajun-boiled-peanuts/ The recipe at the bottom of this link is similar to what Ive done but minus the peppers Im going to have to try it with peppers too one day. http://www.deepsouthdish.com/2010/05/goober-peas-cajun-boiled-peanuts.html Lately Ive just been getting them from the country store down the road from me they have a couple crock pots with the peanuts stewing all day every day.
