Guys, what do you think about split peas? Do you like this legume? Up until recently we had been making split peas soup only! But one day when I was going through the cupboards looking for inspiration on what to cook, I noticed split peas sitting in the very corner of one of the cupboards. So I figured it was the highest time to use it somehow. The question was how?
At that moment I wasn’t very worried about this, I was sure I would figure this out the following day, after pre-soaking and cooking. Normally I would check the Internet to find some inspiration, but all I wanted was to use the ingredients that we had in the fridge/pantry.
Of course I was after something new, easy, delicious and filling. And that was when the butter roasted split pea power bowl was born! Avocado, thinly sliced smoked salmon, feta cheese and a drizzle of lemon juice and voila!
Ok. It went like this:
Me thinking: What will make the split peas taste amazing?
Me answering (in my head): hmmm, butter…yes. BUTTER. Parsley, maybe???
Already an idea in my head, I melt the butter in a pan. Throw in the drained split peas. Roast it for only a few minutes before adding coarsely chopped parsley. Quick tasting…Hmm, yes, this tastes almost perfect. A squeeze of lemon juice over, give it a stir and…yes, that’s it. Perfect!
Now you see how easy it is to make butter roasted split peas? When ready transfer into bowl(s) and top with avocado, feta cheese & smoked salmon.
Butter Roasted Split Pea Power Bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup Split Peas
- 1 Large Ripe Avocado
- 80 g Smoked Salmon (2.8oz)
- 60 g Feta Cheese (2oz)
- 30 g Unsalted Butter (1oz)
- A Handful of Fresh Flat Leaf Parsley
- A Squeeze of Lemon (optional)
- Salt to Taste
Instructions
- Soak split peas in cold water overnight in order to reduce the cooking time. (Apparently it’s not necessary but I do it anyway).
- Now drain the soaked peas, transfer back into a pot and pour 3 cups of water in. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Drain the water.
- In a frying pan, melt the butter over a medium heat. Throw in drained split peas. Increase the heat and roast for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add roughly chopped parsley. Roast for a further 2 – 3 minutes before turning off the heat.
- For the toppings: Wash & peel the avocado. Remove the stone and cut into slices/cubes. Slice smoked salmon, crumble/dice feta cheese.
- Divide all the ingredients in 2 bowl and serve warm or cold!
