Method

1. Place the pork hock in large saucepan, cover with boiling salted water and simmer on a low flame for 1½ hours.

2. Add the peas and continue cooking for a further hour, stirring occasionally.

3. Tip in the parsley, onion, celery, carrots and potato, and continue to cook until tender - another 10 minutes.

4. Stir in the stock cubes till they dissolve, and add the smoked sausage.

5. Remove the pork hocks from the soup and flake off the meat with a sharp knife; cut into small bite-sized pieces. Return the meat to the saucepan and cook for a few minutes more.

6. Serve straight away with crusty rolls.

Dutch Split Pea Soup - recipe from Market Kitchen I am a little bemused with the above recipe - the METHOD states PLACE PORK HOCK etc - no Pork Hock in list of ingrediants - split peas not mentioned - I realise they have to be soaked overnight before they can be added to the soup recipe - have I misssed something????? I look forward to hearing from you sorry cannot rate this recipe.

the ingredient list doesn't match the instructions, it's missing pork hock and most importantly peas!
