Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Place the peas in a large bowl, cover with cold water, and let them soak for 6 hours. Drain.

Heat oil in a pot, add finely chopped onion, grated carrot, and sliced celery. Sauté on low heat for 6-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
Step 3
Add the peas, diced ham hock, bay leaf, caraway seeds, and 2.5 liters of cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 2 hours or until the peas are tender. Remember to skim off any foam that forms during cooking. Remove the bay leaf and caraway seeds.
