Step 1
Rinse split peas under cold water, then place them in a large pot with the ham hock, onion, and 8 cups water.
Step 2
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer 60–75 minutes until peas are very soft and breaking apart.
Step 3
Remove the ham hock and onion. Shred any meat from the hock and set aside; discard bones and onion.
Step 4
Mash the peas with a potato masher or blend with an immersion blender until smooth, working in batches if needed.
Step 5
Stir in butter and shredded ham meat. Season generously with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust.
Step 6
Transfer to a steamed pudding basin or heatproof bowl. Cover tightly with foil and steam over gently simmering water for 30 minutes.
Step 7
Invert onto a warm plate. Serve alongside roast pork and gravy.
