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.

Time 6h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

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!

Tips:

Choose the right peanuts: Use fresh, raw peanuts for the best flavor and texture.
Soak the peanuts overnight: This helps to soften the peanuts and reduce the cooking time.
Use a large pot: You need a pot that is large enough to hold all of the peanuts and water.
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low: This helps to prevent the peanuts from overcooking.
Add the spices and seasonings: Use a variety of spices and seasonings to flavor the peanuts, such as Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.
Cook the peanuts for 1-2 hours: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of peanuts you are using and how soft you want them to be.
Drain the peanuts and let them cool: Once the peanuts are cooked, drain them in a colander and let them cool slightly before serving.

Conclusion:

Superheated Cajun boiled peanuts are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a casual get-together. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this classic Southern treat in the comfort of your own home.
