How To Fry Raw Peanuts Food

FRIED PEANUTS

Steps:

• 1. Heat oil.
• 2. Place peanuts in the hot oil.
• 3. Stir constantly until they just begin to turn red. If you cook them any longer, they will taste scorched.
• 4. Remove from pan (a black skillet works best). Place on paper towels to drain.
• 5. Salt to taste.
• 6. Store any leftovers in an air-tight container. Leftovers were never a problem at the Sugg household.

DEEP-FRIED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Cook peanuts in preheated oil until fragrant and hot, about 2 minutes. Transfer to paper-towel lined plates to drain. Season peanuts with salt.

GARLIC FRIED PEANUTS

Steps:

• Heat 1 cup of oil until moderately hot.
• Add 1 cup of shelled raw peanuts and fry for 2 minutes until crisp.
• Drain on paper towel and sprinkle with garlic just before using (packaged peanuts can be used).

BOILED RAW PEANUTS

Steps:

• Add the raw peanuts to a slow-cooker; add water to cover, then add the salt.
• Place the lid on the slow-cooker; cook on HIGH.
• Every 2 hours, while the peanuts are cooking, give them a stir, and add additional water if needed (the water should always be at about the same level as the peanuts).
• With the exception of you spot checks--the slow-cooker should be kept covered throughout the cooking process.
• When the peanuts have cooked 6 hours, taste them (you do remove the outer shell before eating one).
• If they are too salty, remove some of the salty water and replace it with fresh water.
• If they are not salty enough, add more salt.
• Continue cooking for at least a few hours more--every hour after the initial 6 hours of cooking, remove a peanut, let it cool down, and taste for doneness.
• The final product should be tender yet firm and should be salty and earthy in taste.
• The cooking process can take up to 12 hours to reach this point (the proper cooking time is very subjective; cook the peanuts to your taste).
• When desired doneness, drain the peanuts and serve them warm.
