BEER-BOILED CAJUN PEANUTS Its that time of the year. Green peanuts are out and screaming to be boiled - Cajun Style. My Cajun boiled peanuts have just the right balance of seasoning and spice with the natural taste of the peanut coming through. This recipe is about spice, not heat. But, I do have a secret ingredient — beer. I use one bottle of beer per pound of peanuts that adds a unique flavor profile. Oh, and one more thing — garlic…lots of garlic. This infusion of flavors with Pop in your mouth.......MCK INGREDIENTS: 3 pounds green peanuts, may us raw if you cannot find green 2 whole heads garlic 1 jalapeño pepper, sliced 1 bell pepper, sliced 1 onion, sliced 3 bottles beer 6 cups water, plus more if needed 1 tablespoons garlic powder 1 tablespoons onion powder 1 tablespoons red pepper flakes 1/4 cup salt INSTRUCTIONS: Rinse the peanuts and remove any grit or dirt. In a 6 or 8 quart pot, add the peanuts. Without peeling, place the whole heads of garlic in the pot and pour over the beer. Add enough water to cover the peanuts. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, red pepper flakes, onion, jalapeño pepper, bell pepper and salt. Stir to combine. Taste the water to make sure it is salty, adjust as needed. I like mine salty like the ocean. (Remember the salt has to soak into the peanuts). Bring the water to a boil and reduce heat to a slow boil for 3-4 hours. Test for doneness and cook longer until the peanuts are tender. Add more water to the pot if needed. Let the peanuts soak in the warm liquid for another two hours. Serve the peanuts from the pot and refrigerate any leftovers in a covered container. These boiled peanuts are excellent cold or warm. NOTES: Raw peanuts take longer to cook than green peanuts. Generally speaking, the longer boiled peanuts hang out in the warm liquid, the better they get. Bon Appetite!
