Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lbs Green Peanuts in shell
  • 1/4 cup Salt
  • Water - just enough to cover the peanuts, approximately 1" above the peanuts
  • 1/2 a tbsp of your favorite seasoning if you like. (optional)

Instructions

    Thoroughly wash the peanuts as they will be muddy. If using raw peanuts, make sure you soak them overnight before cooking as they lack moisture.

    Throw them in the inner pot of your Instant Pot or Mealthy Multipot.

    Add salt and any seasonings if you'd like.

    Add in water just enough to cover the peanuts, approximately 1" above the peanuts.

    Optional - Place a steamer basket or deep fryer basket (that I got with my Mealthy Crisp Lid) on the peanuts to keep them from floating on the top.

    Cover the lid, seal the vent.

    Pressure Cook on Manual or High Pressure

    Green Peanuts : 45 minutes followed by Natural Pressure Release or 

    Green Peanuts : 60 minutes followed by Quick Release

    Raw Soaked Peanuts : 80 minutes followed by a Natural Pressure Release

    When done, if consuming it immediately, strain the peanuts by transferring them into a cup or bowl using a meshed frying spoon. Or else store the peanuts in brine until ready to serve. 

    Crack open the shell, slurp the brine and enjoy the soft peanuts. Throw the shell.
