Cook time: 50 min
Total time: 1 h 5 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: African
Ingredients: 2 cups yellow split peas, rinsed and drained; 1 large onion, finely chopped; 3 cloves garlic, minced; 2 tablespoons vegetable oil; 1 teaspoon turmeric; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander; Salt and pepper to taste; 4 cups vegetable broth or water; Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Mix well to coat the onions and garlic with the spices.
Add the rinsed yellow split peas to the pot and season with salt and pepper. Stir everything together to combine.
Pour in the vegetable broth or water, ensuring that the split peas are fully submerged. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and simmer for about 45-50 minutes, or until the split peas are tender and the stew has thickened to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the split peas are soft and the stew has reached the desired thickness, taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Remove the pot from the heat and let the stew sit for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Ye'ater Kik Alicha Yellow Split Pea Stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley or cilantro if desired. Enjoy on its own or with a side of rice, injera, or crusty bread.
