fresh peanuts

[phlawless]

I got some fresh raw peanuts at the farmer's market yesterday and I would love some suggestions on what to do with them (other than roasting). I have thought about an african-style peanut soup, but I'd love other ideas.

thanks!

Boiled, of course.

Yep, bawl 'em.

Another vote for boiling. Water, a palm full of salt, and a slow simmer. I like them best hot from the pot - but cold from the fridge later is a close second.

i, um...really can't stand boiled peanuts.

i know, i know...living in north carolina and confessing this is really NOT COOL.

any other ideas?

I haven't made it (just eaten waay too much of it) but chili peanut brittle is awfully addicting.

Do you like southern peas? I find the two tastes run hand in hand, in my experience. If you are an exception, please advise and I will file it. Pea people love boiled peanuts.

Dry them, then use them in all the other applications mentioned. No shame in peanut soup, quite tasty

Add to chicken soup with lotus root and red dates.

You can use the dried ones for this too, but the fresh ones just need less time to cook.
