Split Pea Porridge with Pork in a Slow Cooker

A wonderful dinner — hearty, tasty, and good for you! Pea porridge has long been prized for its nourishing qualities, whether it's made with water or meat broth. I make it both ways, and my family is always happy to see it. Let's cook up pea porridge with meat — it's really tasty, and in a slow cooker it's fast, too.

  • Rinse the split peas a couple of times to wash away any debris and grit, then cover with cold water and soak for 5 hours. Rinse the pork too and cut it into medium chunks. Pour the olive oil into the slow-cooker bowl and select the "Sauté" setting. Add the pork to the hot oil and brown it on all sides. Peel the onion and carrot, cut them into strips, and add them to the meat. Add the herbs and salt, stir, and cook 2 minutes. Add the drained peas and pour in water to about 3/4 inch (2 cm) above the peas. Switch from "Sauté" to "Stew" and set the timer for 1.5 hours. If the porridge isn't quite to your liking when the time is up (how soft you like the peas is a matter of taste), just keep stewing another half hour. Serve the finished porridge hot. Enjoy!
