1/2 lb. split green peas
Wash everything, cut/dice vegetables as directed, and put it all into a big pot.
Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 2 hours, until the beans almost dissolve and the meat is falling to bits. You can add more water at any point if it looks too thick. Adjust the seasoning and take out the bone. I cut the meat into small chunks at this point and then freeze some portions for other times.
