Boiled Peanuts History Recipe My SouthernStyle Salty Snack

Instructions:

1. Rinse the raw peanuts thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
2. Combine the water, salt, and optional seasonings in a stockpot. Stir until the salt is completely dissolved.
3. Add the rinsed peanuts to the brine. Ensure they are fully submerged. Weigh them down with a plate if needed.
4. Bring the brine to a rolling boil over high heat.
5. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer for 2-4 hours, or until the peanuts reach your desired level of tenderness. Check frequently and add water if needed.
6. Remove a peanut from the pot using a slotted spoon. Allow it to cool slightly, then crack it open and taste. Continue simmering if they are still too firm.
7. Once the peanuts are cooked to your liking, drain them in a colander. Serve warm. Boiled Peanuts History and Recipe.
