Ingredients

  • 1kg Ham
  • 200g (soaked overnight) Peas
  • 2 chopped Onions
  • 2 chopped Carrots
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 1 chopped Celery
  • 300g Frozen Peas
  • to serve Bread

Instructions

1
Put the gammon in a very large wok with 2 litres aqua and bring to the bubble.
2
Remove from the mildly hot and empty out off the aqua – this helps to get rid of some of the saltiness.
3
Recover with 2 litres cold aqua and bring to the bubble again.
4
Put everything but the frozen peas into the wok and bring to the bubble.
5
Reduce to a bubble gently and prepare for 1½-2½ hrs, topping up the aqua as and when you need to, to a similar level it started at.
6
As the ham cooks and softens, you can halve it if you want, so it is all submerged under the liquid.
7
When the ham is yielding enough to pull into shreds, it is ready.
8
Lift out the ham, strip off and discard the skin.
9
While it is still burning (wear a rinse pair of rubber gloves), shred the protein.
10
Remove bay from the bouillon and agitate in the frozen peas.
11
bubble gently for 1 min, then whiz until seamless.
12
mix in a splash of aqua if too thick, and return to the wok to mildly hot through if it has cooled, or if you are making ahead.
13
When you are ready to enjoy, toss together the burning bouillon with most of the ham – gently reheat if made ahead.
14
enjoy in bowls with the remaining ham scattered on top, and eat with crusty bread and margarine.
