Recipe Link: http://soar.berkeley.edu/recipes/

List of Ingredients




1-1/2 cups dry yellow split peas
6 cups water
2 plum tomatoes or 1 medium tomato, chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
1/4 cup parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon dried dill weed or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
2 cups small broccoli florets,
Chopped parsley for garnish


Recipe



1. Soak peas in 4 cups water for 4 hours or longer. In a medium saucepan, bring peas and soaking water to a boil. Add tomatoes. Simmer, covered, until peas are very soft, 20 to 25 minutes.

2. In a blender or food processor, puree 2 cups of pea mixture until smooth, adding a little extra water if necessary. Return pureed peas to the saucepan. Cover and keep warm.

3. In a large, deep pot, combine onion, garlic, parsley, dill, sweet potatoes and remaining 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 6 to 7 minutes. Add broccoli and simmer another 6 to 8 minutes, or until broccoli is tender but still crunchy. Add pea mixture, reduce heat to low, cover and cook gently until just heated through.

4. Serve garnished with parsley.
