Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Peanuts,raw
Water

1. Wash raw peanuts thoroughly in cool water; then soak in clean cool
water for about 30 minutes before cooking. 2. Put peanuts in a
saucepan and cover completely with water. Because the shells of some
peanuts absorb more salt than others, it's best to begin with 1
tablespoon of salt for each 2 cups of peanuts; you can add more salt
to taste later. 3. The cooking period for boiled peanuts varies
according to the maturity of the peanuts used and the variety of
peanut. The cooking time for a "freshly pulled" green peanut is
shorter than for a peanut which has been stored for a time. 4. When
fully cooked, the texture of the peanut should be similar to that of
a cooked dry pea or bean. Boil the peanuts for about 35 minutes, then
taste. If they are not salted enough, add more salt. Taste again in
10 minutes, both for salt content and to see if the peanuts are fully
cooked. If not ready, continue tasting every 5 minutes until they
have a satisfactory texture. 5. Drain peanuts after cooking or they
will continue to absorb salt and become oversalted. 6. Boiled peanuts
are usually served as a snack, but they make a great substitute for
dried cooked beans at any meal. They may be eaten hot, at room
temperature, or chilled in the refrigerator and eaten cold, shelling
as you eat them. They will keep in the refrigerator for several days,
or they may be frozen.
