Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound green split peas, picked over, rinsed and drained
2 large smoked ham hocks
1 large carrot, roughly chopped
1 stalk celery, roughly chopped
1 large onion, roughly chopped
10 sprigs fresh parsley
4 sprigs fresh thyme
1 bay leaf
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock, water or a combination of both
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Simple Salad, for serving, recipe follows
8 to 12 large handfuls prewashed baby mixed greens (about 1 pound)
Extra-virgin olive oil
Vinegar (balsamic, white or red wine, or cider (just not white distilled)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the peas, hocks, carrots, celery and onions in a large soup pot or Dutch oven. Tie the parsley, thyme and bay leaf together with kitchen string. Add the herb bundle, stock and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Lower the heat to a simmer; cover and cook until the peas are tender, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Remove the pot from the heat, and remove the hocks to a bowl to cool. Remove the meat from the hocks, discarding the bones, fat and skin. Cut the meat into cubes. Remove the herb bundle from the soup and discard.
  • Puree the soup with an immersion blender or in batches in a blender to desired consistency. Heat the soup to a simmer with the meat and season with salt and pepper. Serve in heated bowls. Serve with the Simple Salad.
  • Although the salad is prewashed, still give it a soak in a big bowl of cold water for about 5 minutes. Lift the salad out of the water, so any grit is left in the bowl. Put it in a salad spinner; don't pack it in or the greens will get bruised. Spin dry. If you don't have a spinner, lay on a clean towel and gently pat dry.
  • Put the greens in a big bowl. Drizzle 3 tablespoons (a regular soup spoon is fine ¿ you don't need the measuring type) of olive oil over the greens. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon vinegar. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Using tongs or 2 forks, toss just enough so that all the greens are lightly dressed. Transfer to 4 salad plates and serve immediately.

Time 1h40m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 pound dried split peas
1 ham hock
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup finely chopped yellow onions
1/2 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 cup finely chopped carrots
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 pound Smithfield ham, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

4 cups vegetable oil, for frying
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon truffle oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the peas in a large pot or bowl, cover with water by 2 inches and soak 8 hours or overnight. Drain the peas and set aside.

  • Pat the potatoes completely dry. Add to the oil in batches and cook until golden brown, stirring with a long handled spoon to turn and cook evenly, about 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and place in a large bowl. Toss with the cheese, truffle oil, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately.

SPLIT PEA & GREEN PEA SMOKED HAM SOUP



Split pea & green pea smoked ham soup image

John Torode shares the recipe for one of his all-time favourite soups

Provided by John Torode

Categories     Dinner, Soup

Time 3h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1kg gammon or ham hock
200g split peas , soaked overnight
2 onions , roughly chopped
2 carrots , roughly chopped
2 bay leaves
1 stick celery , roughly chopped
300g frozen peas
crusty bread and butter, to serve

Steps:

  • Put the gammon in a very large pan with 2 litres water and bring to the boil. Remove from the heat and drain off the water - this helps to get rid of some of the saltiness. Recover with 2 litres cold water and bring to the boil again. Put everything but the frozen peas into the pan and bring to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 1½-2½ hrs, topping up the water as and when you need to, to a similar level it started at. As the ham cooks and softens, you can halve it if you want, so it is all submerged under the liquid. When the ham is tender enough to pull into shreds, it is ready.
  • Lift out the ham, peel off and discard the skin. While it is still hot (wear a clean pair of rubber gloves), shred the meat. Remove bay from the soup and stir in the frozen peas. Simmer for 1 min, then blend until smooth. Add a splash of water if too thick, and return to the pan to heat through if it has cooled, or if you are making ahead.
  • When you are ready to serve, mix the hot soup with most of the ham - gently reheat if made ahead. Serve in bowls with the remaining ham scattered on top, and eat with crusty bread and butter.

HAM HOCK SPLIT PEA SOUP



Ham Hock Split Pea Soup image

Every Christmas we make a ham...and then we make pea soup...I love traditional pea soup but wanted it to have just a little more "oompf". so I added a little bit of spices and the results are pretty yummy.. This is not a "quick" recipe, but the flavors of the homemade ham stock are really worth the extra time. Hope you all like it.

Categories     Ham

Time 6h

Yield 20 cups, 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups split peas (picked over and rinsed)
6 cups ham stock (boil down ham bone)
5 bay leaves
5 cups chicken broth (**)
3 cups ham, diced
3 carrots, finely chopped
2 celery ribs, with leaves finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 bay leaf
salt & pepper
1 dash parsley
1 dash thyme
1 dash marjoram
1 dash cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preperation Steps:
  • Make 6 cups of ham stock using either left over ham bone or store bought hamhock - sometimes for a little kick I use a smoked ham or ham hock. Put the ham hocks or ham bone in a pot add 8 quarts of water and the bay leaves and cook on a slow simmer for about 2 hours - this should yield about 6 cups of stock. Let this cool and then taste. **If it is salty then add plain water first and then chicken stock to create a total of 5 additional cups of liquid - total stock should equal about 10 to 12 cups. Put cooled stock in refrigerator to allow fat to rise to the top. Skim off as much fat as possible and set aside.
  • Dump the uncooked peas in a dish and pick over.take out any rocks, off color peas etc. Then put them in a pot and add water. Remove any floating debris. Drain and set aside.
  • Cooking:
  • In a large stock pot, heat 2 - 4 Tablespoons of the ham fat on a medium high heat. Add the onions, carrots and celery and saute till tender.
  • Add all the remaining ingredients except the salt and pepper. Reduce the heat and simmer for 45 minutes. Taste. Now add salt and pepper as needed. Continue to cook for an additional 45 minutes or until peas are tender.
  • Remove the bay leaf.
  • Final step. If you like lumpy, clear broth pea soup then leave as is and enjoy. If you want it a little thick then partially puree 1/2 of the soup and if you want no lumps.Puree away.we use one of those blender sticks and mash around till its partially pureed.
  • Hope you all enjoy.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of split peas. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Green split peas are the most common type, but you can also use yellow or red split peas. Yellow split peas have a sweeter flavor, while red split peas have a more earthy flavor.
  • Soak the split peas before cooking. This will help them to cook more evenly and quickly. You can soak them in water for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the refrigerator.
  • Use a ham hock or ham bone for extra flavor. This will give your soup a rich, smoky flavor. You can also use smoked sausage or bacon.
  • Add vegetables to your soup. This will make it more nutritious and flavorful. Some good vegetables to add are carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, and leeks.
  • Season your soup to taste. Use salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bay leaf or two for extra flavor.
  • Serve your soup with a side of crusty bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Split pea soup with ham hocks is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make the best split pea soup with ham hocks that you have ever tasted.
