Preparation

Step 1

Combine peas and water in a large stockpot. Bring to a boil and then turn off the heat and let stand for 1 hour.

Bring to a boil again, then reduce heat to simmer. Add ham hocks and salt and cook until peas are tender. Remove hocks, pick meat off and return meat to peas.

While peas are simmering, heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and sauté onion, celery, carrots and jalapeño pepper until soft. Add duck and brown evenly. Season with Worcestershire sauce. Add to peas with tomato and heat to warm. Season with salt, pepper and Tabasco. Good luck!
