SPLIT PEA SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Pork: Preheat the oven to 300°.

• Add in oil and make sure the pork is submerged.
• Cook in the oven for 4 hours.
• Remove from the oven and add each pork tenderloin to a large frying pan over medium-high heat until golden brown on each side, about 2-3 minutes per side.
• Shred the pork using 2 forks. Note: Strain the confit fat and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 1 month for other confit recipes.
• Soup: With about 2 hours left in the cooking process of the pork confit, add the butter to a large pot over medium heat along with the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, and sweat for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are slightly rendered.
• Add in the peas, split peas, and chicken stock and simmer over low heat for about 90 minutes or until the peas have broken down and the soup is thick.
