Cajun Boiled Peanuts - cooking recipe
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
Preparation
-
In large steel stock pot (for outside use) place peanuts and fill with water 3/4 full.
Add all but the jalapenos.
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 jalapenos.
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!
