INSTANT POT® CAJUN BOILED PEANUTS
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 the right peanuts: Use raw, unshelled peanuts for the best results. Avoid using roasted or salted peanuts, as they will not absorb the flavors as well.
- Soak the peanuts overnight: Soaking the peanuts overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the peanuts overnight, you can soak them for at least 4 hours.
- Use a variety of spices: The spices used in this recipe are just a suggestion. Feel free to add or remove spices to your taste. Some other spices that go well with Cajun boiled peanuts include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
- Don't overcook the peanuts: Overcooked peanuts will become tough and chewy. Cook the peanuts until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them.
- Serve the peanuts hot or cold: Cajun boiled peanuts can be served hot or cold. If you serve them hot, they will be more flavorful. If you serve them cold, they will be more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Cajun boiled peanuts are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or picnics. With a little planning, you can have a batch of Cajun boiled peanuts ready to enjoy in no time.
