Boiled Raw Peanuts Recipes

Steps:

• Wash the peanuts in cool water until the water runs clear. Soak in cool water for 30 minutes to loosen any remaining dirt.
• Drain and rinse the peanuts. Add the peanuts to a 12-quart pot along with the salt and 3 gallons of water. Stir well. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours. Check the texture of the peanut at this point for doneness. When done, boiled peanuts should have a similar texture to a cooked dry bean. It should hold its shape, but not crunch when bitten. Add more water throughout the cooking process, if needed. If necessary, continue cooking for 3 to 4 hours longer.
• Drain the peanuts and store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
• *Cook's note: The cooking time can vary greatly depending on how fresh the peanuts are. The fresher the peanut, the less time it will take to cook.

Steps:

• Place a 6 quart pot over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until the bacon is browned, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the bacon to a paper-towel lined plate or rack. Pour off all but 3 tablespoons of the bacon fat.
• Decrease the heat to medium and add the onions to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally until the onion is softened and beginning to brown around the edges, approximately 6 minutes. Add the broth, peanuts and thyme. Increase the heat to high, and bring to a boil. Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a rapid simmer. Cook until the peanuts begin to loosen from their skins and the broth is reduced by 1/4, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and puree the mixture with a hand-held stick blender until smooth. Add the milk, vinegar, salt and pepper and puree until combined. Turn the heat back to medium and cook until warmed through, 5 to 7 minutes. Garnish with the reserved bacon and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Add the raw peanuts to a slow-cooker; add water to cover, then add the salt.
• Place the lid on the slow-cooker; cook on HIGH.
• Every 2 hours, while the peanuts are cooking, give them a stir, and add additional water if needed (the water should always be at about the same level as the peanuts).
• With the exception of you spot checks--the slow-cooker should be kept covered throughout the cooking process.
• When the peanuts have cooked 6 hours, taste them (you do remove the outer shell before eating one).
• If they are too salty, remove some of the salty water and replace it with fresh water.
• If they are not salty enough, add more salt.
• Continue cooking for at least a few hours more--every hour after the initial 6 hours of cooking, remove a peanut, let it cool down, and taste for doneness.
• The final product should be tender yet firm and should be salty and earthy in taste.
• The cooking process can take up to 12 hours to reach this point (the proper cooking time is very subjective; cook the peanuts to your taste).
• When desired doneness, drain the peanuts and serve them warm.

Steps:

• Wash the peanuts and place them in a pot. Add salt and water. Bring the water to a boil.
• Let the water boil for 3 hours.
• Taste the peanuts, if they are not salty enough for your taste add more salt. If you would like the peanuts to be softer, return the water to boil and cook until they reach the consistency you desire.

Steps:

• Wash and soak peanuts overnight.
• Place in crockpot and fill with water and add spices.
• Cook for 24 hours.
