Cover the pot and allow them to soak for 30 minutes

Cover your pot with a lid or plastic wrap to ensure that the peanuts remain submerged in the water. Allow them to soak for around 30 minutes before cooking. Raw, dried peanuts are available year-round and are a great alternative if you do not have access to fresh, green peanuts. Dried peanuts will require a longer soaking time before cooking, so leave them to soak for at least 8 hours or overnight.
Soaking the peanuts ensures that they will soften more easily when they are cooked, giving them their delicious texture.
Do not attempt to soak roasted peanuts. Roasted peanuts will not soften regardless of how long they are soaked or boiled.
