Washing Up
A friend from Alabama sent me up some green peanuts so I could try making my own boiled salted peanuts.
The recipe I used called for 4 cups of peanuts, 6 cups of water, and 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt. Boil, covered for 20-25 minutes.
Okay, first off, that wasn't enough salt. So I added maybe 2 T and let them cook 10 more minutes.
The peanuts are al dente, and taste like mini-baked potatoes. Delicious, but I don't remember if they are supposed to be softer than that (I had them at a BBQ competition in Florida, 5 years ago). Are they? I see other recipes that say to boil them for an hour and a half or so.
Secondly, how long would you say boiled peanuts can last in the fridge?
Lastly, how long would green peanuts last (my friend sent me a LOT, and I'd ask him these questions, but he's never made them!)
