I never knew about these until I visited Charleston...they must be healthy, safer for small children to eat. I know they are delicious and a good substitute for potato chips or doritos.

A wonderful southern tradition--and obviously and acquired taste! Don't want it so hot?- replace pepper and Cajun seasonings and jalapeños with some ham hocks and have them country style.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 6h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs raw peanuts, in the shell (green)
4 tablespoons cajun seasoning (I get the blackening seasoning from Sam's wholesale)
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons salt (heaping)
5 fresh jalapenos, seeded and sliced thick

Steps:

  • In large steel stock pot (for outside use) place peanuts and fill with water 3/4 full.
  • Add all but the jalapeños.
  • Place on gas burner and heat until boiling.
  • Boil at a steady boil for about 6 hours, adding water as needed to keep pot at least half full.
  • Stir occasionally.
  • During last 2 hours add jalapeños.
  • Taste at the end of the 6 hours for doneness. They should be completely soft and the inside of the shells are completely "wet" looking--no white remains visible.
  • Eat hot or cold!
  • They are great!
  • Freeze some for later--just heat in microwave to enjoy that fresh out of pot taste again!

INSTANT POT® CAJUN BOILED PEANUTS



Instant Pot® Cajun Boiled Peanuts image

I love boiled peanuts but in the past they've been a bit of hassle to make. They've got to be soaked in water overnight, then you have to wait for the giant pot of water to boil, the water evaporates so you have to add more water every hour, and then every time you do that you have to wait for the water to start boiling again. I knew there had to be a way to simplify the process and the Instant Pot® is the solution. While they still take time, the method is hands-off and they are still done quicker than the 8 hours alone it takes to soak them overnight using the stovetop method.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, raw peanuts that are firm and plump, avoiding any that are shriveled or discolored.
  • Rinse the peanuts thoroughly in cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to boil the peanuts, as they will expand significantly during cooking.
  • Add plenty of water to the pot, covering the peanuts by at least 2 inches.
  • Bring the water to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the peanuts are tender.
  • Season the peanuts with your desired spices and seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Continue to simmer the peanuts for an additional 15-30 minutes, or until they have absorbed the flavors of the seasonings.
  • Drain the peanuts in a colander and let them cool slightly before serving.
  • Enjoy the peanuts as a snack or side dish, or use them in your favorite recipes.
