This is a lower carb, healthy substitute for popcorn. You can also use almonds or other nuts if you want to experiment with this concept. Last time I ate these was from some snack place in San Jose, CA when I was a kid. These taste very different from peanut butter, raw peanuts, or roasted peanuts. I found this recipe on some website online a while back that I forgot to note.
STEAMED PEANUTS
peanuts - 5-6 cups, raw
salt
water
METHOD: Put the peanuts in a vessel that will fit in a pressure cooker or you can directly put in the pressure cooker vessel itself. Add water, just enough to cover the peanuts. Add generous amount of salt,give a stir and let it cook on medium heat for 3 whistles. Remove from heat and let it rest till the pressure completely goes. Drain off the water and serve immediately.
