Instructions:
Rehydrate peas by following pack instructions (usual soaking time is around 2 hours for quick soak variety or overnight for longer version).
Place ham shank in large pan with rehydrated peas and all remaining ingredients.
Bring to the boil, skim off the scum and reduce to a gentle simmer with lid on for about 1½-2 hours, until ham shank is tender and almost flaking and the peas have broken down and are ‘mushy’.
Serving Suggestion
Remove rind and fat from ham shank and serve in bowls with broken chunks of crusty bread for dunking!
