Greek Fava Dip: Split Pea Dip (Vegan)

Serves 3-4:
cup (100g) yellow split peas, rinsed and soaked for 30 minutes
small onion, sliced
1 garlic clove, peeled
2-3 tablespoons light olive oil,
1 teaspoon dried crushed oregano
teaspoon of salt, or to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
Juice of half a lemon, or to taste
Garnish options:
teaspoon capers
1 scallion, finely sliced
Kalamata olives
Sundried tomatoes, packed in olive oil
Toasted pine nuts
Fresh parsley, finely chopped
Drizzle of good quality Greek olive oil

Rinse the split peas with cold water until the water runs clear. Soak at least 30 minutes.
Place the sliced onions, garlic and olive oil in a small pot and cook over high heat until golden. About 5 minutes.
Drain the water from the split peas and add to the pot along with salt, oregano, and black pepper. Pour 2-3 cups hot water over top, bring to a boil and reduce the heat to medium low.
Cook, stirring every few minutes and adding more water (half cup each time) when necessary. Cook until the split peas are soft. About 1 cup of liquid should remain in the pot at the end of cooking.
Puree the mixture until smooth.
Season with more salt and pepper if desired.
Add the lemon juice and mix to combine.
Garnish with your favorite toppings and serve with vegetables and/or warm bread.
Enjoy!
