Recipe???Nicely done Zip, what book did you get the recipe from
No fresh green nuts, they grow a lot of them in the Norcal Sac. valley all the way up to Alturas also Mexican and Asian stores carry them like Ranch99 when they are in season. After they are boiled the shell comes off with a light squeeze, its super, super easy.Dumb question from California boy...who's never heard of these things...can I just boil shelled peanuts from Costco in the salt water and get the same thing? Shelling peanuts is hard enough...when they're soggy I can only imagine the next order of magnitude.
Shoot yeah. Heck even the convenience stores down here will have them.They look good. I love boiled peanuts. Anytime I’ve been in GA or AL I’ve gobbled them up from roadside stands.
When I was doing the research mentioned above I learned that you can use the salted, roasted nuts in the shell, but they take a lot longer to cook and you do not get the same taste and texture result as using green peanuts. The boiled peanut experts say green peanuts are the first preference. Raw the second. And roasted nuts in the shell if nothing else is available.Dumb question from California boy...who's never heard of these things...can I just boil shelled peanuts from Costco in the salt water and get the same thing?
