southern boiled peanuts
Boiled peanuts are a Southern staple. They are filling, salty, tender and delicious and perfect to live off of while fishing, boating and camping because it's a food that can get wet and still taste perfect. I use my Instapot to cook them these days because it used to take 3-4 hours of boiling, watching and adding hot water to cook these right.

How To Make southern boiled peanuts
-
Step 1Clean out trashy shells and rinse your fresh green peanuts
-
Step 2Pour salt into Instapot and add peanuts.
-
Step 3Cover peanuts with water and use trivet w/glass bowl on top for weight. (You want the peanuts under water) I place the bowl upside down on the trivet so the rim does not interfere with the pressure sensor.
-
Step 4Use the Manual setting for high pressure at 90 minutes.
-
Step 5When Instapot cuts off, allow to stay on warm until the pressure indicator drops (natural release)
-
Step 6Drain and rinse peanuts. You can eat some of them now but they won't be perfect until they spend the night in your refrigerator.
-
Step 7Seal in airtight container. Refrigerate over night. Serve cold. I have a friend from up north that likes them heated in the microwave, so you may want to try them both ways.
