Goober Globs Recipes

Steps:

• Wash unshelled peanuts thoroughly in cold water until water runs clear; then soak in cool, clean water for approximately 30 minutes before cooking.
• In a large pot ( I used my pressure cooker), place soaked peanuts and cover completely with water. Add 1 cup of salt per gallon of water. Cook, covered, on high heat for 4 to 7 hours.
• NOTE: the cooking time of boiled peanuts varies according to the maturity of the peanuts used and the variety of peanuts. The cooking time for a 'freshly pulled" or green peanut is shorter than for a peanut that has been stored for a time.
• Boil the peanuts for about 4 hours, then taste. Taste again i 10 minutes, both for salt and texture. Keep cooking and tasting until the peanuts reach desired texture (when fully cooked, the texture of the peanut should be similar to that of a cooked dry pea or bean).
• Remove from heat and drain peanuts after cooking or they will absorb salt and become over salted.
• Peanuts may be eaten hot or at room temperature, or chilled in the refrigerator and eaten cold, shelling as you eat them.

Steps:

• Warm the peanut butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring, until loose, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to low; keep warm.

Add the patties to the hot skillet, smash them flat with a spatula and season with salt and pepper. Cook, flipping once, until the burgers are well done, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in another skillet over high heat. Place the buns cut-side down in the hot skillet, press them down slightly with another skillet and toast until golden, about 2 minutes. Put the burgers on the bottom buns and spread each with 1 heaping tablespoon warm peanut butter. Top with lettuce and tomato. Spread mayonnaise on the cut side of each top bun, then put on top of the burgers.
