For years I have seen these piles of dirty peanuts just dug up at the local market and decided to buy some the other day. They are cheap as ever so thought it might make for an easy local snack.
All the info on the internet says you only need to roast them for about 30 minutes at 175 degrees C. I find it takes well over an hour before the nuts finally get rid of the awful mushy texture. (I don't soak them in saline some do, but rather just wash them in a colander, let them dry, and then put them in the hot oven.) Anyone else out there roasting peanuts care to share their secrets?
