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

[TNJAKE]

Is that supposed to be some sort of secret code?

Lol I see what you did there

Shell 'em, light coat with olive oil, different rubs on different batchs or just salt, and a light smoke for a couple of hours.

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...

Yes, any ideas to try. I will have about 15lbs to play with.

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

Ray is that just on the high crock pot setting?

No they’re pressure cooked in the Instant Pot. 90 minutes with a 20 minute natural release.

Sven's idea of making your own peanut butter sounds really good!!

oh boy need to order some ingredients for sure...thanks

Jake, how do you store them after the boil? how long do they last in storage?

Never had any leftover lol. We just leave them in the crockpot on warm for up to 5 days and graze on them. They get better every day

I will be the only one eating them in my house, I better half portion the recipe. Not enough counter space to leave the pot out. I wonder about vac packing and freezing?

Just about everyone I know loves boiled peanuts, but I don't care for them. I've tried them off/on through the years, but nope...can't do it.

I LOVE roasted peanuts, though!

I think the thaw will make the consistency unpleasant but I've never tried. Since you don't have room on the counter I would store in the fridge still in the broth. When you are ready for a bowl scoop out some peanuts and broth and reheat in the microwave

They're boiled peanuts. The consistency is already unpleasant.

(sorry, couldn't resist)

Do you have a slingshot and need ammo to shoot squirrels?

I wonder about vac packing and freezing?

I usually buy a bushel when the farmers start harvesting them. I'll boil them all and freeze in gallon ziplock bags. When thawed, I can't tell any difference and we'll take them to the lake, picnics, ball games, etc. They can be reheated in the microwave and turn out almost as good as when first cooked, but we don't do that very often...

 

[jcam222]

Nope lol

Now I’ll bite, what is it you don’t like about ground round? Is it simply too lean? That’s usually the only issue I have with it.
