Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb raw peanuts in their shells (450g)
  • ¼ cup kosher salt (or less if you prefer it less salty) (60g)

Instructions
 

  • Wash peanuts 4 to 5 times to get rid of dirt. Place in a 5-quart pot. Fill with enough water to cover peanuts. Place on the stove and allow water to come to a boil.
  • Add salt. Lower heat and allow peanuts to cook for at least 4 hours**.
  • Add a ½ cup water after every hour.

  • Remove and drain. Serve warm or at room temperature. Peanuts may be kept at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Notes

** For softer peanuts, continue boiling for up to 8 hours.
It takes about 1¼ to 1½ hours to cook in the pressure cooker. Soaking peanuts overnight reduces the cooking time.
