Red Curry Boiled Peanuts
- 1 quart water, or enough to cover peanuts
- 2 cups coconut water
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 pounds raw peanuts (sometimes known as green peanuts)
- 4 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 teaspoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon grated lime zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- In a 4-quart Dutch oven (or similarly sized pot), add the water, the coconut water, and the salt. Have the lid handy.
- Add the peanuts to the pot and bring the liquid to a full rolling boil. Reduce to a steady, but not violent boil. Cover the pot.
- Cook for about an hour.
- Meanwhile, combine the red curry paste, the fish sauce, and the lime zest in a small bowl. Mix it well.
- Remove the lid, and stir in the red curry mixture. Stir, turning the peanuts and incorporating the curry mixture fully.
- Replace the lid, and boil for another hour.
- Now, it's time to taste the peanuts. The texture is a matter of taste. If you like them softer, cook them longer.
- Strain the warm peanuts from the liquid, give 'em a shake, and toss with the lime juice to finish.
- These are an incredible snack, or can liven up green beans if patiently shelled.
