I have 8oz yellow split peas soaking to use for tea. Does anyone have a favourite recipe or could you direct me to a thread please?

I had no luck with these and after soaking them movernight and cooking them in a soup they were still hard as bullets.
Hope you have better luck than I did.

Google brings up a bit, but here are the offerings from BBC food.

Thank you very much. They have softened slightly but have been simmering for two hours. Not a good use of energy, I think.

I like Tarka Daal (a friend once tried - unsuccessfully - to covince me that it's made from otters :rolleyes: :rotfl: ).

We have an existing thread of split pea recipes, so I'll merge this to keep ideas together

Sorted out my store cupboard. Checked out the sell by dates and found a pack of Yellow Split Peas out of date. I have soaked them overnight, now I need some ideas of what to do with them please?

Make a yellow split pea soup - onions, carrots, stock and your split peas. You could also add ham or bacon bits to give it a bit more bite and flavour, if you like?

There's an existing thread with more recipes (tarka daal is one of my favourites ). I'll merge this thread to that one so that you can see more ideas

Pressure Cooker - pre soak peas in boiling water for one hour and cook on full pressure for 20mins - great in soups and stews or as a puree with butter, salt and pepper.
