Ingredients:	Ingredients: 1 pound of raw "green" peanuts (not the color green, but fresh raw peanuts which are called green peanuts) 1/4 cup kosher salt (or 2 Tbsp table salt) 4 cups water Optional seasoning: 2 Tbsp Tony Chachere's or shrimp boil

Directions:	Directions: Thoroughly rinse raw unshelled peanuts in water. Soak peanuts in water to cover in a large stock pot at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours. (You may need to weigh down peanuts with a large plate or lid to ensure that they are fully submerged.) Drain and rinse. Put water, salt, seasoning, peanuts in a large stockpot. Bring to a low boil. Cover and reduce the heat just enough to maintain a low boil. Boil for 2 to 3 hours or longer (some boil their peanuts all day), until peanuts reach desired level of softness. Drain. Eat up within a couple of days. Boiled peanuts don't save as well as dry.
