    Now it is the harvest season for peanuts and there are tons of fresh peanuts on sell on the market.Boiled peanut is always my favorite shacks especially during my childhood.  Each time when our peanuts are harvested, we cook a large pot immediately. There are two types of boiled peanuts here in China one is boiled peanuts with salt only and the second one is to boil peanuts with spices.We usually serve this on a family party as a snack or appetizer nowadays. You will find how amazing and aromatic the peanuts are simply after cooked with salty water.

    Cook's Note

    1. Slightly press the peanuts a little bit until there are little cracks on the end, which will help the seasoning to flavor the peanuts. If you do not have enough time, just forget about it.
    2. Once cooked, let the peanuts soak in the broth until cooled and well salted.

      Bonjour à toi.
      Je n'ai pas tout à fait compris:::est-ce que les cacahuètes cuisent avec l'écorce,ou faut-il les sortir avant????
      Si c'est avec la carapace,j'ai compris qu'il fallait qu'elle soit ouverte pour que le liquide rentre et parfume le fruit.
      Ici,malheureusement nous ne trouvons pas de cacahuètes fraîches. Donc,ma question est par curiosité culinaire. Gros bisous et bon dimanche en famille. Chris 06
