I soak one full bag of green split peas overnight.
The next day I dry fry one medium diced onion with a packet of diced bacon (cheating I know but I can't stand to deal with a ham hock & I get a lovely flavour)
Then I add the soaked peas
After stirring I add an equal amount of water & simmer until the peas are beginning to get mushy. Add to the mushy mix 1 diced potato & 1 diced carrot. Continue to simmer until the vegetables are soft.
When Erin was little she said we were having 'poo seep' for dinner, much to our amusement & the label has stuck! Peas are a good source of fibre!
