1
Rinse the Peanuts
Place the raw peanuts in a colander and rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
2
Prepare the Cooking Pot
In a large pot, add the rinsed peanuts, water, and salt. If you’re using optional spices, you can also add them at this stage.

3
Bring to a Boil
Place the pot over high heat and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
4
Simmer the Peanuts
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the peanuts simmer for about 2 hours, or until they reach your desired tenderness.

5
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, drain the peanuts and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
