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.

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
