Looking for good recipes for hot boiled peanuts. I don't see anything remotely close to how my grandfather made them.
I put this thread in the Outdoor section since you cook, and preferably eat, these outside.
When I was a kid I ate the shit out of these things. Every Saturday night on the way to the race track to see my uncle race his stock car, my grandfather would either bring along, or stop and buy, a bag of boiled peanuts on the way to the track. Even though Virginia grows a lot of peanuts, I have never once seen a roadside stand selling them like you see in Georgia or Alabama.
I remember my grandfather always soaked his peanuts before cooking. Seems like he would soak them overnight in saltwater. All the recipes I read online does not call for soaking, so I'm not sure if I remember everything correctly or not. Maybe he just washed the peanuts before cooking?? I'm not sure. I also don't know how much salt he used. Course, salt could be personal preference as one person may like more salt than another.
I've stopped at roadside stands over the years and have had BBQ flavor and/or spicy. I think I like mine plain with salt.
So, any of you southern bunkins have solid recipes?
