A true Southern delicacy, these spiced and boiled peanuts are just the trick for every occasion. This recipe comes straight from The Deer and the Dove in Decatur, Georgia, which chef Terry Koval developed specifically to complement the fruity, spiced flavors of Creature Comforts’ Automatic Pale Ale. With flavors of chile, dill, bay leaves, cayenne, and mustard seeds, these are not your average boiled peanuts. Munch on these crunchy, zesty bombs while you sip a drink, cheer on your team at the big game, or just because you have a craving.
