These Australian grown Yellow Split Peas are certified Organic, have no added preservatives and are non-GMO. They are a small, half pea with rich yellow colour and nutty taste. Yellow split peas have a firm, smooth texture and hold their shape when cooked, or can be boiled until soft and creamy. An ingredient in traditional Toor dal, they are a perfect addition to soups and broths, casseroles and slow-cooked recipes, veggie burgers and dips.
How to Use:
Yellow split peas do not need to be soaked before cooking; however, it will shorten cooking time. If they are not pre-soaked, rinse split peas in a bowl of water and repeat several times. Cover peas with double the amount of water or stock.
Do not add salt to the water as this can cause the ‘skin’ of pulses to become tough. Bring to the boil, reduce heat to medium and cook for 45 – 60 min (90 minutes if un-soaked) or until tender. Drain and use as needed. For soups, broth and slow-cooked hot pots sauté onions and aromatics in a little oil before adding dried peas. Add broth or other liquid and cook as above, timing the addition of vegetables, meat or chicken with fresh herbs to be cooked when split peas are done.
Great in minestrone or with lamb shanks. For creamier, soft peas continue cooking until desired consistency is achieved. Softly cooked yellow split peas are the star of traditional Toor Dal and as a spicy filling in Indian bread. Or serve as a puree with herbs and garlic next to grilled fish or vegetables. Yummy smashed with sumac or in Greek fava dip.
