Week 10: Film or Book inspired.

We’re going with Split Pea Soup for The Exorcist. With two types of pork and fresh bread on the side.

I’ll spare you from an actual screen shot, because it might put some in a bad place to think about food.

Ingredients:

Bag o Peas, Celery, 3 strips of Bacon, 4 Hamhocks, 8c broth, 1 small onion, Pepper, Thyme

Directions: Chop up the bacon and start sauteing in a pot. Chop up onion and add to bacon. Add Thyme & Pepper. While the onion merges with the bacon, chop up a stalk or two of celery. Add it. After a couple minutes add the hamhocks, bag o dried peas, and 6c of broth. Bring to a simmer and wait like, an hour. Check every 30 minutes to make sure there’s enough liquid, and add just enough to keep everything submerged. After an hourish, when the peas start to smoosh, take out the hocks and shred the meat off. Put the meat back in, heat through, then serve.

Tom made a nice loaf of french bread in his breadmaker, so we were spoiled tonight.
