Yellow Split Peas with Vegetables (Dal Takari) by John Spottiswood

Wow, this is such a wonderful dish and so easy to cook! The keys to this dish are the yellow lentils, fried potatoes, and cumin seed.

We love the white Great Northern beans and I used them in this version with some dried apricots to create a side dish that could just as easily be served as a main dish. My sweetie was raised up on rice, a Carolina crop for centuries, and asked for…
