Split Pea Dal

I don't know how many of us out there love split peas and curry, but for those who do, this recipe is warming and delicious.

It's a grain-free recipe if served plain, without the brown rice.

Split Pea Dal

1 cup split peas
2 cups water or stock
1 cup onion, chopped
1 Tbsp garlic cloves, peeled & minced
¼ tsp sea salt
1 tsp curry powder
1 Tbsp olive oil

Brown rice, cooked (opt.)

Sort and wash split peas. Place in a pot with water or stock, onion, and garlic; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for one hour.

Add salt, and stir until the peas are pureed.

In a small skillet, heat the oil; remove from heat; add curry and stir until it foams. Stir into the split pea puree and mix well. Add more sea salt, if necessary.

Serve over brown rice, if desired.
