Boiled groundnuts : shelled food-grade raw peanuts.

Ingredients

300 g shelled food-grade raw peanuts
1200 ml drinking water
2 g salt

Preparation

⚖️ Weigh the ingredients for 4 servings and prepare the utensils.

🥜 Discard mouldy, damaged or off-smelling peanuts; cooking does not make them suitable.

💧 Soak 300 g shelled food-grade raw peanuts in the refrigerator for 480 minutes, then drain and rinse.

🔥 Heat the measured liquid (1200 ml drinking water, 2 g salt), first reserving any water needed for mixing.

🥄 Add 300 g shelled food-grade raw peanuts and stir gently.

⏲️ Simmer gently for about 90 minutes; stir and add a little water if needed.

✅ Taste a cooled peanut: it should be tender throughout; continue cooking if hard. 🥄 Drain thoroughly and keep warm.

🍽️ Divide into 4 servings and serve warm, with sides separately.
