I just got tickets to the Carolina Hurricane’s game, I can not believe hockey season is only one month away I am so excited! I get it this is a food blog not a hockey blog….. Every time I think of the Carolinas I think of boiled peanuts. When I was younger every summer my mother grandmother, brother and I would visit our property down there and my grandmother would take me to run errands and as a reward we would always get boiled peanuts together. I can not handle salt like i used to so its the nostalgia that makes me love this recipe. Let’s stop talking about it and just get to it.
Ingredients:
- 1 lb of Raw Peanuts
- No you can not go to the gas station and buy shell peanuts and boil them. You have to get raw peanuts, I suggest checking out your local farmers market. If you are in South Carolina get green peanuts they are the best! Check out the site Certified South Carolina, and you can see the farms that grow green peanuts in your county and really know where your food is coming from.
- Also Peanuts are great to eat because they are full of fiber, protein, and antioxidants.
- 1/4 cup of Salt
- 4 Gallons of water
Now Let’s Get Cookin’:
- Like beans peanuts need 24ish hours to soak prior to cooking. Soak peanuts over night in 2 gallons of water or just enough, to cover them fully, and some salt.
- The next day boil peanuts with 2 gallons of water and the 1/4th cup of salt for 1-3 hours depending on how long they soaked over night
- To see if they are done open a peanut if it is soft it is done if it is still crunchy it has more boilin to do.
- Drain. Serve. Enjoy!
