Cooking notes
• Buy the best pork sausage you can lay your hands on, splurge a little
• Camellia is the finest pea on the market
• How to make pork stock
• Add a little cayenne powder if you want to ratchet up the heat a little
• Don’t like brown crowders? Use a favored bean; this recipe would translate well to a variety of beans
