I know, I know... My mother and her boyfriend say it's a waste of beer, but I genuinely think the beer adds a nice flavor and I've been using Olde English (a high school favorite), which is very affordable.Someone used to tell me that if you saw a sign on the road advertising "boiled p-nuts", they were usually better than the advertisements for "boiled peanuts". Hmm... I haven't figured that one out yet because these are better than any of the ones you buy on the road. Anyway, if you like boiled p-nuts, this recipe rocks.
Get 2-3 lbs of raw or green peanuts, which are immature peanuts that have not yet been roasted. (pictured below)
Boil them in 2-3 cans of chicken broth and a 40 of OE. Add in 5 dried hot chilis or jalapenos. Exclude the peppers if you think they will make it too spicy. Also, if needed, add extra beer or broth to make sure the p-nuts are covered.Boil first for 1.5 hours, then add 3/4 cup of seasoning salt and boil for 1 more hour. (I'll put a recipe for really great seasoning salt up as well) Turn off heat, let peanuts sit for about 30 minutes in water, drain and enjoy.
