Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups dry split peas, picked over
- 5–6 cups water
Directions
- Rinse the split peas well, and discard the water (potted plants love it!)
- Simmer the split peas in salted water for ¾–1 hour.
- 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.
