Steps
- Rinse 500g of yellow split peas. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat.
- Sauté 3 roughly chopped red onions, 2 chopped garlic cloves, and 2 sprigs of thyme until the onions start to caramelize.
- Add the peas, 1 liter of warm water, and ⅓ cup of olive oil. Season, cover, and simmer gently for 40-50 minutes, skimming foam, until the peas collapse. Add a little hot water if needed.
- Remove thyme stems. Add the juice of 2 lemons and blend until smooth with an immersion blender. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
