Red Curry Boiled Peanuts

Directions

1. 1
   In a 4-quart Dutch oven (or similarly sized pot), add the water, the coconut water, and the salt. Have the lid handy.
2. 2
   Add the peanuts to the pot and bring the liquid to a full rolling boil. Reduce to a steady, but not violent boil. Cover the pot.
3. 3
   Cook for about an hour.
4. 4
   Meanwhile, combine the red curry paste, the fish sauce, and the lime zest in a small bowl. Mix it well.
5. 5
   Remove the lid, and stir in the red curry mixture. Stir, turning the peanuts and incorporating the curry mixture fully.
6. 6
   Replace the lid, and boil for another hour.
7. 7
   Now, it's time to taste the peanuts. The texture is a matter of taste. If you like them softer, cook them longer.
8. 8
   Strain the warm peanuts from the liquid, give 'em a shake, and toss with the lime juice to finish.

   These are an incredible snack, or can liven up green beans if patiently shelled.
