It is beautiful - no, stunning - but for me, you captured my heart more than my belly. I may love braised peanuts, but it is the memories of eating this special treat as a child that I cherish more. It's been too long. It is hard to find fresh peanuts to boil here, so when I do see them in the markets, I always do a happy dance :) What a gorgeous post, Denise.Lirenhttp://kitchenconfidante.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-69828197693880682332012-10-05T07:09:37.243+08:002012-10-05T07:09:37.243+08:00Hi Denise,

I think in the end it really doesn't matter if they are as good as our mind thinks, it's what they mean to our hearts. The peanuts look really good. I have never tasted them but I am curious. Great post!

I pressure cook them with salt and water. Serve it with the water to make it lip smacking good. I like to suck the salty water from the shell and eat the soft peanuts with it. YUM! Lovely pictures as always.Vijithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12983603958358896629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4125715246990444305.post-74635634925991040972012-10-04T09:06:01.894+08:002012-10-04T09:06:01.894+08:00ROFL!

I guess we do share a common food heritage :)<br /><br />Anyway, I love boiled peanuts and have been meaning to cook it ever since I saw the raw peanuts appearing at the Asian market. Like all things here, raw peanuts are also seasonal. Yes, there are so many versions to this snack and it is all a matter of preference. Some vendors in Malaysia even have the nuts colored yellow. Not sure if they used kunyit or food coloring. I think I need to make another batch soon :)Biren @ Roti n Ricehttp://www.rotinrice.comnoreply@blogger.com
