Game Day Boiled Peanuts Recipes

BOILED PEANUTS

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.

INSTANT POT SPICY BOILED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Wash and drain the raw peanuts to remove any dirt.
• Add the peanuts to the pressure cooking pot along with the salt, Cajun seasoning and water to cover. If you like, you can place the trivet that comes with the Instant Pot over the peanuts to make sure they stay immersed in the water.
• Place the lid on the Instant Pot and turn the valve to seal. Cook on high pressure for 30 minutes, if you prefer tender and crunchy peanuts. For soft peanuts, cook for 60 minutes at high pressure. When the cook time ends, let the pressure release naturally for 30 minutes.
• Open the lid and allow the peanuts to sit in the cooked salty water for an hour. Serve and enjoy.

GAME DAY BOILED PEANUTS

Steps:

• 1. Mix seasonings with 4 cups hot water until salt is dissolved in Cock Pot. Add the raw peanuts in the shell to the mixture and fill the Crock Pot to full with hot water.
• 2. Cook 24 hours on high, check the peanuts to see that they are soft, and then on low for 24 hours (this is not a typo - 48 hours total allows them to soften and absorb the seasonings), keeping an eye on your water level. You will need to check your peanuts and adjust the time accordingly because all Crock Pots heat differently. I fill the crockpot with water every 8-10 hours to keep the water level full.
