Method

  1. Rinse the split peas well, and discard the water (potted plants love it!)
  2. Simmer the split peas in salted water for ¾–1 hour.
  3. Serve.

Notes

  • If you have hard water in your area, adding ⅛ teaspoon baking soda will reduce the cooking time.
  • Bacon, ham, kielbasa, salt pork, or smoked sausage may be added during cooking for added flavor.
