How to peel raw peanuts (peanuts): 2 methods

In this how to peel, the almond has much more press than the peanut. I don't explain why.

Anyway, I was looking for how peanuts, because I bought a raw peanut bag thinking that the peel would immediately come out with the fingers (as when one eats the peanut directly from the sheath, as they give you in the tacaños bars of San Telmo), and not gentlemen. The raw peanut hell does not come out thus just with his hands.

It seems that those who come in the pod are also roasted, that's why you get out. Anyway, I investigated a little and tried methods. And here I bring you the post.

How to peel raw peanut /peanuts /peanuts

Method 1

Toast them. You put them in an empty and hot pan on the fire and the toast for 1-2 minutes. When taking them out and cooling, the peanut peel detaches itself, rubbing them with the hands (now: like the mani that give you the birra).

Method 2

Pass them through boiling water. Simile almond method but with different times. Pass them through boiling water 30 seconds. That is: put the peanut in a glass, place boiling water, leave 30 seconds and drain. The shell will be detached and it will be easy to get it with your hands. If you have to peel many raw mani, watch this video of how to peel many almonds together and do the same.

What does it depend on using one or another method?

How you want to use peanuts. If you are going to use it, for example, for a peanut soup , which has to be raw, you have to use method 2, of the water. And if you are going to use it in a preparation that requires it roasted (for example, this peanut and curry sauce ), you can use any of the 2. If you use the water, toast them later.

And Colorín Colorado, this story is over.
