Pea stew with smoked pork

Ingredients for 4 servings:

• 200 g yellow split peas
• 200 g split peas, green
• 1 ½ liters vegetable broth
• 250 g potatoes
• 1 bunch of soup vegetables, fresh or frozen (450 g)
• 400 g smoked pork
• 3 sprigs of marjoram or from a shaker
• 2 tbsp wine vinegar or balsamic vinegar

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 45 minutes; Total time approx. 1 hour 15 minutes

Cook the peas in boiling broth for at least 45 minutes. In the meantime, peel, wash, and dice the potatoes. Trim, wash, and finely chop the soup vegetables. This isn’t necessary if you use frozen products. Wash and roughly dice the smoked pork. Add it to the broth after about 30 minutes of cooking time. Add the vegetables and potatoes after 20 minutes. Wash the fresh marjoram, pluck the leaves from the stems and chop them, then add them. Only now add salt, pepper, and vinegar to the pea stew, and season to taste. If you add the salt too early, the peas won’t cook well.
