Servings: 8
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds green peanuts
- ⅓ cup salt
- 12 ounce jar green pickled jalapeno peppers with carrots (this gives flavor without a lot of heat)
For Spicy (Cajun) Boiled Peanuts
- 1 tbsp red pepper flakes
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
Instructions
- Place washed peanuts in Instant Pot.
- Add jar of pickled jalapenos and salt. If you want spicy add in the red pepper flakes and cajun seasoning.
- Add water to cover the peanuts.
- Place the steamer rack for the Instant Pot on top of the peanuts to help weight them down.
- Place lid on Instant Pot, make sure the valve is closed or in sealing position.
- Set to Manual Pressure for 75 minutes.
- Once done cooking, let it natural release for 30 minutes. Then open the valve to release any remaining pressure and remove the lid.
Notes
I have found about 75 to be a perfect peanut, but you can cook them up to 90 minutes for a really soft peanut.
If you buy raw peanuts (more mature and air dried) rather than green (freshly harvested) peanuts - soak them overnight and cook for full 90 minutes for best results.
