Photo: Boiled Peanuts Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 pounds fresh green peanuts
- 1 1/2 cups salt
Directions
Put the peanuts and the salt in a large stockpot. Cover completely with water. Bring to a boil and simmer for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours. To check whether they are done, pull 1 or 2 peanuts out of the pot and crack them open. When they are soft, they are done. If they are still slightly crunchy, they are not done yet, If they are not salty enough, leave them in the salted water and turn off the heat. When they are done, drain and serve immediately.

So simple and so yummy! Give the peanuts a quick rinse in plain water after they're done cooking if they taste too salty. If you don't eat them right away, they will soak up more salt from the cooking liquid. Just boil in plain water to reheat the leftovers and cut the salt.
