Zesty Green Split Peas
2 cup Green split peas, uncooked
8 cup -Water
2 Bay leaves
1/2 tsp Ground tumeric
1 tsp Salt
2 tbsp Canola oil, (I used 2 Tsp)
2 tsp Ginger, peeled & minced
2 tsp Jalapenos, seeded & chopped
4 tbsp Black mustard seeds, ground*
3 tbsp -Water
3 oz Coconut, shredded sweetened
1 pinch Soy margarine (optional)
FOR GARNISH
Cilantro, chopped (optional)
*If black mustard seeds are not available, use 1 Tbs dry mustard.
Mix ground mustard powder in with water and allow to sit for 30
minutes.
Bring split peas and water to a boil. Lower heat to medium. Add bay
leaves and tumeric (I forgot the tumeric--was good anyway). Simmer,
covered, until peas are done, 40 to 45 minutes. (When pressed between
the thumb and the index finger, they break easily.) While simmering,
uncover occasionally and stir, adding a Tbs or so of hot water if the
mixture sticks to the bottom of the pan. When cooked, remove and
discard bay leaves. Add salt and keep warm. Heat oil in a small,
6-inch skillet over medium-low heat. Saute ginger root and jalape o
until ginger is lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add mustard paste
and cook for another minute, stirring constantly. Add coconut and
stir several times. Remove from heat. Pour over the pea mixture and
stir. (I had to drain my peas, because I still had lots of water in
mine.) Let stand covered for 15 minutes. Add a dab of soy margarine
if desired and garnish with cilantro. (I didn't use the cilantro)
I think this would make a good filling for pita pockets. I didn't
think the peas were "zesty" enough, so I sprinkled hot pepper vinegar
on mine.
