Smoked Pork Knuckle and Yellow Split Pea One-Pot Dish | Hearty Autumn Meal

Rinse the yellow split peas thoroughly in cold water, then soak them for 1-2 hours so they soften evenly and faster.

Cut the smoked pork knuckle into smaller, bite-sized cubes. Finely chop the onion and garlic, and slice the carrots into rounds.

Heat the lard in a large pot. Add the chopped onion and sauté over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until translucent.
