Gather @dried yellow split pea{300%g}, @vegetable oil{2%tbsp} and @black pepper{}.

Tie the soaked split peas loosely in a cheesecloth bag — they need room to expand — and add to a large pot with the drained @salt beef{1.2%kg}; cover generously with fresh water and bring to a boil.

Skim the surface, then reduce to a gentle simmer 2 hours, until the beef is fork-tender. ~{2%hours}

Add the @turnip{1} and @carrot{4} and simmer 25 minutes. ~{25%minutes}

Add the @potato{6} and @cabbage{1} wedges and simmer 20 more minutes, until all the vegetables are tender. ~{20%minutes}

Lift out the pea bag and mash the peas with the oil and a little of the cooking broth into a coarse, spoonable pudding.

Slice the beef, arrange it with the vegetables and pease pudding, and ladle the broth over everything at the table.
