Boiled peanuts are totally a southern thing. They are a common thing to see at road side farm stands and even in some gas stations. I wish I had taken a picture of it but I saw a gas station once with a sign for "Boiled Peanuts and Fine Wines Inside". I made some at home today in the crockpot with this simple list of ingredients.
You need:
- about 1 pound or so of raw green peanuts
- 1/2 cup of salt
- 2 tbsp Old Bay Seasoning or other spice mix
- 6 cups of water
Just add everything to the crockpot and cook on high for about seven hours. They are best served hot.
