Ingredients 

  • 2 pounds raw green peanuts not roasted or dried
  • 32 ounces homemade bloody mary mix or use 1 (32-ounce) bottle Charleston Spicy & Bold Bloody Mary Mix
  • 1 cup water 32 ounces of liquid of choice – (plus more water as they cook)
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 - 3 tablespoons bloody mary rim salt start with 2 and adjust to taste

Optional Add-Ins for a true Bloody Mary vibe, I use about 4-8 of each

  • pickled okra to taste
  • spanish olives to taste; I like to use the colossal ones or large ones
  • pickles to taste

Instructions

  • Wash the peanuts: Rinse raw peanuts thoroughly under running water. You may want to let them soak for a bit to loosen any extra dirt and grit.
  • Combine ingredients: In a large enameled Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over high heat, add the peanuts, Bloody Mary Mix, broth, and water.
  • Season: Sprinkle in the Bloody Mary Rim Salt. Add the pickled goodies: okra, olives, and pickles, if using. Give it all a good stir. You can even add in some of the brine liquid if desired.
  • Bring to a boil: Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium or medium-low. You want a steady simmer—not a wild boil, but not too slow either.
  • Simmer covered: Cover and simmer the peanuts for 3 to 6 hours, or longer if you like them tender.
  • Stir every hour or so, and add more liquid (water) as needed to keep them just covered.
  • Taste and test: The peanuts are ready when they’re tender all the way through. The broth and peanuts will darken as the flavor intensifies.
  • Serve and Enjoy: For a fun twist, serve your boiled peanuts in a salt-rimmed glass. Just dip the rim of the glass in a little pickle juice or run a lemon wedge around the edge, then dip it into Bloody Mary Rim Salt.
  • Fill the glass with warm boiled peanuts and add some of the pickled goodies—like okra, olives, or your favorite Bloody Mary toppings or make a tray for everyone to add their favorites. It’s a fun way to serve them and makes a great party presentation too!
