Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the Peas

    Rinse the yellow split peas under cold running water to remove any debris or impurities.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion, carrot, and celery into small, even pieces to ensure they cook evenly.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Seasoning

    Mince the garlic and gather the remaining spices and olive oil.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Split Peas

    In a large pot, add the rinsed yellow split peas and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for about 20-25 minutes until the peas are tender.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a separate skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

  3. 6

    Add Seasoning

    Add minced garlic, turmeric powder, cumin powder, salt, and black pepper to the sautéed vegetables. Stir and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  4. 7

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the split peas are cooked and tender, add the sautéed vegetable mixture to the pot. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes to combine flavors.

Serving

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

    Ladle the yellow thick into bowls and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
