Green Jumbo Boiled Peanuts Recipes

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 peanuts until water is clear. Add water to cover peanuts and soak overnight. Put weight on so that peanuts are soaking.
• Drain and rinse several times until water is clean.
• Add star anise; cover and boil for 30 to 45 minutes, testing to see that peanuts are cooked, but not soft. Do not overcook. Turn off heat, add salt and mix.
• Cover and let stand for approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Pour green peanuts into very large stockpot.
• Fill with water, until pot is about 2/3 full leaving enough room for the pot to boil without overflowing.
• Pour in salt and stir into water.
• Turn on high heat and bring water to a boil.
• Turn heat on low or med-low and keep it at a low boil or simmer.
• Cook 10-12 hours slowly, stirring occasionally and taste water to see if salt is needed.
• Turn off heat and allow to soak for an hour or two. Soaking allows the peanuts to really get the brine taste.
• Reheat when you are ready to eat.
