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
Directions
- Soak the dried split peas in water for at least 1 hour, preferably longer.
- 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.
- Add the celery, carrots and chicken broth and beans. Add the coconut milk and the seasonings.
- 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.
- Simmer on low until the beans are soft. This will take long – be prepared to simmer for at least an hour or two.
- Serve over rice or as is.
