Atar Allecha (Spiced Green Pea Puree)
Servings: 4
Directions
- Here is a recipe for Injeera and also 2 recipes for sauces from "Sephardic Cooking", Copeland Marks. In Ethiopia the injeera are prepared with teff, a grain of the millet family, but this recipe calls white flour.
- 1. Stir-fry the onion and garlic in a dry pan over moderately low heat for 2 min. Add in the oil and stir-fry for 1 minute.
- 2. Add in the mashed peas, tumeric, salt and chili; mix well. Add in the water and cook for 3 to 4 min to reduce the mix to a thick, green, well-spiced puree. Serve hot with injeera (see recipe). Variation: If you substitute 1 c. of red Egyptian lentils for the green split peas and follow the same instructions, you will have Misr Allecha.
