Instructions
- Wash the peas and drain.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, saute onions and garlic in 2 teaspoons of oil over medium heat until soft, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the peas, carrots, ham hock and chicken broth, then cover the pot and let it come to a boil. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Once it boils, reduce heat and cook for about 2 hours, or until the peas are soft and thickened.
- Make sure to check the liquid and consistency. You may need to add hot water if it becomes too thick.
- Remove ham hock, discard the skin and boned and serve with ham.
