- 1 Packet of green or yellow split peas 500g
- 2 Onions finely chopped
- 2 Carrots finely chopped

1. Wash and soak the split peas, overnight if possible
2. Chop up all the veggies and place them in to a 5lt slow cooker with the split peas, vegetable stock or water and bay leaves
3. Put the ham hock or bacon bones in the slow cooker, cover with liquid and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours

PFD
We do have trading terms with this company but they aren’t as simple to explain as a straight forward ‘10% discount’.
However on AVERAGE you can expect to receive 10% discount. On some products you’ll receive far more than 10% discount whilst on other lines you’ll receive little or no discount.
