Serving size: 1 serving
Rinse the green peanuts thoroughly under cold running water. Discard any debris or peanuts that float to the surface.
In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, combine the rinsed peanuts, water, and kosher salt. If using, add the red pepper flakes. The water should cover the peanuts by at least 2 inches. Stir well to dissolve the salt.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and maintain a steady, gentle simmer.

Simmer for 3 to 4 hours, or until the peanuts reach your desired tenderness. The peanuts will float, so it's helpful to place a heatproof plate on top of them to keep them submerged. Check the water level every hour and add more hot water as needed to keep them covered.
After 3 hours, begin testing for doneness. Carefully remove a peanut, let it cool slightly, and crack it open. The shell should be soft and the kernel inside should be tender, similar to a cooked bean, with no crunch.
Once the peanuts are tender, turn off the heat. For the best flavor, allow the peanuts to sit in the hot brine for at least 30 minutes to an hour before serving. This allows them to absorb more of the salty, savory flavor.
Serve warm using a slotted spoon. Store any leftovers in an airtight container with their brine in the refrigerator.
