Ingredients
- ⅔ cup dried split peas
- 1 ½ cups liquid water, vegetable broth, chicken broth, or bone broth
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- Pour the dried split peas into a bowl or tray, and pick through looking for any debris. Then rinse the split peas well in a fine-mesh sieve.
- Add the split peas to a pot with your preferred cooking liquid—water, vegetable broth, and bone broth are all good options.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, stir, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer until the split peas are tender, but not mushy and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
- Remove from heat, and season with salt to taste.
