Equipment
- fairly Heavy pan
- A wooden spoon
- Metal tray or platter
Ingredients
- 2 cups Raw Groundnuts
- ½ teaspoon Salt
- ⅛ cup Hot Water
Instructions
- If you are working with groundnuts that you’ve bought fromthe market, begin by selecting them, and picking out any debris, stones, dirt,or spoilt nuts. Wash them thoroughly.
- Begin by preheating a fairly heavy pan. As the pan is preheating, in a suitable small bowl, mix the salt and hot water until dissolved. Pour the mixture into the pan. Alternatively, you can pour both the salt and the water directly into the pan that’s heating up and gently swirl it around to dissolve the salt or stir with a wooden spoon until all the salt is dissolved in the water.
- As soon as the water begins to simmer, stir in the groundnuts and continue to mix with your wooden spoon until all the nuts are evenly covered with the salt water.Continue stirring the groundnuts on a high flame until all the water is gone. This means the groundnuts will be damp, not dry.
- Next, reduce the fire to medium to low heat.Continue stirring frequently for about 30 minutes or until when you shell a groundnut piece, the skin comes off easily. The length of time will also depend on your flame. The peanuts could take slightly less or longer than 30 minutes.
- Turn off your stove and continue stirring the groundnuts for a minute or two because the pan is still hot. Transfer the peanuts onto a metal tray or a large metal platter. Flatten the groundnuts out so they can cool. As they cool, they get even easier to shell as they get crunchy.Serve as preferred with a suitable beverage. In case you want to store them for future use, wait until they’ve cooled down completely. Store in an airtight jar or container and consume within 2 to 3 months.
