Wash ham hocks add to stock pot with 8 cups water boil for 2 hours .After 2 hours clean your beans wash add to the stock pot with the 32 ounce chicken broth minced garlic and all the rest of seasonings above
Cook for another 2 and a half hours or until peas cook soft and buttery.
Note: I cooked mines on the stove top for 4 and a half hours the meat will fall apart but if your wondering why i didnt start cooking the peas earlier is if you cook peas for 4 hours on a stove top it will become mush .so i added them half way in.to keep them firm and buttery .
Enjoy !!!
