Notes
This recipe DOES NOT translate into a slow cooker recipe. I've tried it. Promise, it will be edible, but not something you would eat willingly. Say no to the slow cooker on this one.
Be sure to use a 6QT or larger pressure cooker. Split peas can froth and clog the valves, which could lead to painting your kitchen split pea green.
