Can you share the recipe??
The recipe is in my head. I just take whatever is leftover of the ham (bones & meat) and put them in a big pot with lots of cloves and a bit of garlic. Boil for a couple of hours. Then I drain and cool the broth in the fridge overnight so I can get rid of all the fat the next day. Then in the pot of broth I put in a bunch of dried peas. Boil until the peas are tender and almost getting mushy. Put in sliced onions, sliced carrots, cubed potatoes and shredded ham. Boil for another 15-20 min until vegs are tender. Eat and enjoy. I also add lots of pepper as well. When I get a chance I make lots of this stuff and freeze it for individual lunches.

OK, so what's your recipe with beans??
