Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 pound dried yellow split peas (1/2 pound, dried)
  • 1 medium brown onion, chopped
  • 1 small clove garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 lemon juice
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • salt and black pepper, to taste
  • paprika and olive oil to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Pick over the split peas to remove any discoloured ones, and rinse. Place them in a large saucepan with the onions and enough water to cover a few inches above the beans.
  • Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, adding more water if needed, until the split peas are thick and mushy. If there is still some water remaining at the end, drain it off before transferring the peas to a bowl.
  • Beat in the garlic, lemon juice and oil until thick and well blended. Leave to cool, then add salt and pepper to taste and garnish with paprika. Drizzle olive oil on top if desired.
