Raw peanuts, WTF to do with them...lol

[clifish]

OK, so laugh at us northerners. A friend ordered another friend 7.5 lbs of unshelled peanuts for a holiday gift. They tasted it and thought they were horrible. So he called and said these nuts were bad and they sent another 7.5lb bag....they said they were horrible as well.

I show up and they have me try one from each bag....bland. I tell them they taste (at least what I think, never having them) that they are raw peanuts. Blank stares at my way "WTF" is that?

They are ready to dump 15lbs of these on the lawn for the wildlife... I know there is something more we can do?

Boiled, roasted...let me know? point me to threads, recipes anything....TY

Love me some cajun roasted peanuts but have no idea what the process is.

If they are truly raw, I would boil them. Nothing like boiled peanuts. I boil mine with salt, old bay seasoning, Tony C's, etc. Low boil for a few hours, and keep tasting, until you like them. I like mine a little mushy.

Cajun Boiled Peanuts

Afternoon fellas and non fellas. Wanted to share a true southern snack with yall. Down here and all across the south you can get hot boiled peanuts at just about any gas station and even at roadside stands. It's a real treat. Heres my take..... Start out with 2lbs of raw peanuts. Place in large...

Is that supposed to be some sort of secret code?

Try the boiled peanuts on a small scale to start; they're not for everyone. My wife wanted to try them from a roadside stand in Georgia on a drive back from Florida a few years back. She got a few pounds in different flavors. We ended up dumping them all at the next rest stop, just couldn't get past the texture, and didn't care for the flavors.

Admittedly, we're northerners, and I know these are big in the south, but we just hadn't acquired the taste.

I love roasted peanuts.

Not so secret! As S Smoke-Chem BBQ stated not all things southerners really like are liked by northerners! Just as Jake can't stand the thought of eating ground round. But in our little town I had to put an order in for ground round...he had many pounds to grind for new years! Been that popular for years around here.

Just giving ya a hard time, but the way it was worded ........... well, lol. Course my mind stays in or near the gutter.

 

[Sven Svensson]

Roast them in your oven then use your heat grinder and/or food processor to make peanut butter.

 

[DougE]

Now what was this thread about? Oh yeah, what to do with raw peanuts. Carry on.

 

[jcam222]

Man I’m jealous! I really do need to boil some.

 

[GonnaSmoke]

Boiled, roasted...let me know?

Cliff, being from the south, boiled is my thoughts. Many different flavor profiles for whatever your taste may be. I have some ideas if you're interested...

 

[mr_whipple]

Boiled is always an option! My sister had (not sure if she still does) a big blue macaw and an african grey and they loved raw peanuts so if you know anyone with birds I'm sure they'll take some.

 

[xray]

Boil them! This northerner loves them! I do mine in the Instant Pot.
