Well, back to this thread - I shall be making this dish this weekend in a slow cooker although of coourse it could be made on a hob.

Ingredients:

1 cooked ham hock (the bone from bone-in ham at your local deli counter after the meat has been sliced off). Mine was £1.15. Remember cooked ham can be frozen.

1 or 2 onions, diced and sweated

500g split peas - 60p per 250g

a couple of veg stock cubes, or if you can get it, ham stock


Put sweated onion, ham hock, peas and stock to cover all in the slow cooker.

Switch on for a few hours until the peas are indistinguishable. Remove ham hock and cool until you can shred off the meat and return to soup.

Serves a crowd. Everyone seems to enjoy it.

Depending on the size of the canine and the strength of the bone, the bone, rinsed for cleanliness, may be enjoyed by a four footed member of the family.
