Method
- 1
Soak the split peas overnight in cold water (unsplit peas absolutely need this).

- 3
Simmer gently for an hour, then add the root vegetables and potatoes for another 30 minutes.
- 4
Add the sausages at the end and just heat through — do not boil.
- 5
Season generously with marjoram, salt and pepper.
