Cajun Boiled Peanuts image

A wonderful southern tradition--and obviously and acquired taste! Don't want it so hot?- replace pepper and Cajun seasonings and jalapeños with some ham hocks and have them country style.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 6h10m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs raw peanuts, in the shell (green)
4 tablespoons cajun seasoning (I get the blackening seasoning from Sam's wholesale)
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
4 tablespoons salt (heaping)
5 fresh jalapenos, seeded and sliced thick

Steps:

  • In large steel stock pot (for outside use) place peanuts and fill with water 3/4 full.
  • Add all but the jalapeños.
  • Place on gas burner and heat until boiling.
  • Boil at a steady boil for about 6 hours, adding water as needed to keep pot at least half full.
  • Stir occasionally.
  • During last 2 hours add jalapeños.
  • Taste at the end of the 6 hours for doneness. They should be completely soft and the inside of the shells are completely "wet" looking--no white remains visible.
  • Eat hot or cold!
  • They are great!
  • Freeze some for later--just heat in microwave to enjoy that fresh out of pot taste again!
