EASY VEGAN SPLIT PEA CURRY RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large skillet with high sides, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add in the onions and cook until just translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
• Add in the curry paste and stir. Continuing stirring for 1-2 minutes, or until the curry paste becomes fragrant (this helps to reactivate the spices in the curry paste).
• Add in the vegetable broth and split peas. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the split peas have become tender (but not mushy).
• Add in the diced tomatoes and coconut milk. Continue to simmer for an additional 20 minutes, or until the mixture is very thick and the split peas are very tender.
• Taste and adjust seasoning-some curry pastes are very salt-heavy, so you might not need to add any seasoning at all.
• Serve over hot rice and with a side of warm naan bread.

CREAMY SPLIT PEA CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large flameproof casserole dish with a lid. Add the onions and peppers, and cook for 10 mins until softened. Add the curry paste and nigella seeds, stir for 1 min, then add the split peas, tomatoes, coconut milk and coriander stalks. Bring to a simmer, then cover and bubble gently for 45 mins, or until the split peas are tender. If eating at different times, turn off the heat and cover the curry with a lid. Reheat on the hob or in a microwave until piping hot, adding a splash of water if the curry looks too thick.
• Just before serving, add the lime zest and juice, coconut yogurt and generous seasoning. Serve with rice or naan, with a dollop of yogurt on top and scattered with coriander leaves.
