she just boiled a bacon hock until soft.keep water.
separate pot boiled dried peas until soft and mushy, then added to the pot hock was boiled in.chopped up hock and returned to pot.you will probably not need salt as the bacon hock is salty.

PMSL!Can't for the life of me think why one would not simply boil the ham bones with the peas all in one pot.A few peas on the chopping board when you remove the meat from the bones is a small price to pay for the wonderful flavour.

My recipe:Dice a couple of onions and add it to a big pot with the bone(s) and split green peas.Bring it to the boil them simmer until the meat falls from the bones.Remove bones, take meat off, chop it up then pop it back into the pot.

Theres only 3 ingredients, the above 2 and some bay leaves added into the water with the ham hock.
