Ingredients




16 oz. of dried yellow split peas
1 large onion – sliced
½ cup of baby carrots - sliced
5 cloves of garlic – chopped
14 oz. classic coconut milk
1 cup of Italian parsley – chopped
2 stalks celery – chopped
1 jalapeño – chopped with seeds
4 cups chicken broth and more if needed
2 tablespoons olive oil
Seasonings:
1 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. ground cumin
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. paprika
½ tsp. red pepper flakes
½ tsp. turmeric

Preparation

1 Soak the dried split peas in water for at least 1 hour, preferably longer. 2 Heat a sauce pot with olive oil and add the onions to sauté until the onions are slightly golden then add the garlic and parsley and continue to sauté for a minute or two. 3 Add the celery, carrots and chicken broth and beans.  Add the coconut milk and the seasonings. 4 Continue to simmer on low for another hour or so.  If the beans soak up all of the broth and the dish becomes too thick add more broth, about a ½ cup at a time. 5 Simmer on low until the beans are soft. This will take long – be prepared to simmer for at least an hour or two. 6 Serve over rice or as is.
