Favosalata is a creamy Mediterranean spread made from yellow split peas. It's healthy, accidentally vegan and gluten free (serve with gluten free bread or crudite for dipping). It's a delicious alternative to hummus.

Steps:
- Heat a medium pot over medium low heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the white and light green part of the scallions [as well as the garlic if not using black garlic or roasted garlic]. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until lightly golden.
- Add the split peas, broth or water, wine (or more broth, see note), and salt. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer. Cook partially covered for 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but not mushy. Keep an eye on the pot in the final 10 minutes of cooking and add broth or wine if it gets too dry.
- In a blender or food processor, add the cooked peas, 1 cup of water, black garlic (or roasted garlic if using), and turmeric. Process until smooth adding more water if needed to make a smooth and creamy spread. Add the olive oil and the lemon juice and blend to combine. Taste and add additional salt or lemon juice to taste.
- To serve, spread onto a shallow dish and pour some olive oil over top. Sprinkle on some toasted pine nuts and the green part of the scallions. Enjoy with some flat bread or crudité.

GREEK YELLOW SPLIT PEA PURéE
If you've ever been to Greece, you're probably familiar with the delicious yellow split pea puree called fava. It's served in tavernas all over the country and is standard fare on the Lenten table. It's important to cook the split peas for a very long time, slowly, until they disintegrate into a purée. Greeks use much more olive oil than this recipe calls for, and they top their fava with chopped onion, sometimes caramelized and mixed with fresh herbs. I prefer a drizzle of olive oil. Yellow split peas are easy to find in Mediterranean and Indian markets, as well as many supermarkets.

Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy saucepan, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, five to six minutes. Add the split peas and enough water to cover by an inch, and bring to a boil. Skim foam off the top, reduce the heat, cover and simmer one hour. Add salt to taste, and continue to simmer for 30 minutes to an hour until the beans fall apart and sink to the bottom of the pot. Stir often to prevent them from sticking. The water should cloud, and some of the split peas will be intact while others will disintegrate. Continue to simmer until they have mostly disintegrated.
- When the beans have fallen apart and are soft and fragrant, remove the pot from the heat and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Replace the lid and let sit for 20 minutes. If the mixture looks more like a soup than a purée, with most of the liquid on the top, place a strainer over a bowl and pour the mixture into the strainer. Let sit for 10 minutes while the liquid runs through the strainer, then return the split peas to the pot. Taste and adjust salt. Moisten as desired with the broth. Add a generous amount of pepper, and whisk in the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice. Whisking helps break down the split peas and contributes to a smooth texture. Transfer to a bowl or plate, top with a drizzle of olive oil and serve.

TWO DIPS FOR CRUDITéS
Steps:
- Yellow Split Pea Dip
- Wrap carrots, celery, white onion, herbs, and peppercorns into a bundle; tie with kitchen twine.
- Combine split peas with the water, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and herb bundle in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer; cook until split peas are tender, about 45 minutes. Discard bundle. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking liquid. Drain split peas; let cool slightly.
- Puree split peas, lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup reserved cooking liquid in a food processor until smooth, adding more liquid as needed. To serve, drizzle spread with oil, top with red onion and capers, and season with pepper.
- Taramasalata
- Place roe in a bowl and cover with cold water; soak 10 minutes. Drain in a fine sieve lined with cheesecloth. Rinse; drain again. Gather cheesecloth around roe, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- Meanwhile, cover potato in a saucepan with 2 inches cold water and add 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and let cool.
- Puree roe, potato, and lemon juice in a food processor. With machine running, add oil and process until smooth. Season with pepper.
- CRUDITÉS
- The dips here are accompanied by spring produce, but nearly any vegetable can be used in a platter of crudités. Serve tender vegetables, such as celery, snap peas, and baby carrots, raw; broccoli, green beans,and cauliflower are better (and lose little nutritional value) when blanched for 2 to 3 minutes in boiling water and then shocked in an ice-water bath.

YELLOW SPLIT PEA SOUP (VEGAN)
Altered from a recipe I found on Instructables, I had ended up with a nice bag of yellow split peas and wanted to make an Indian-style recipe after enjoying this yellow pea dip at a local Indian joint. Very simple and tasty as both a soup and a dip!

Steps:
- Rinse the split peas.
- Salt the water or broth and bring it to a boil, and add the oil and garlic.
- Mix in the split peas and spices.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, and let simmer loosely covered for 35-45 minutes or until there are no more hard pieces of peas left.
- Whip up the mixture in a blender. If you want a thinner mixture, use more water. I like it thick so I use exactly one quart, don't add any water, so it doubles as a soup and as a dip or sauce for naan and dosa.

GREEK YELLOW SPLIT PEAS WITH GARLIC (FAVA)
This is a delicious meze (appetizer) made with yellow split peas (or lentils). Santorini is the island that is known to grow the best yellow peas in Greece - and this recipe derives from there. It is very delicious and healthy - use it as a dip or slather it on good-quality, crusty bread and enjoy with a glass of white wine! Although this looks like a long time to make a recipe - it is mostly passive cooking time of the peas - the recipe itself is a breeze!

Steps:
- Place the split peas in a large pot, add water to cover by 4 inches and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, skimming often, for 5 minutes. Add the bay leaves and simmer for 40 minutes more, stirring occasionally and adding a little warm water as needed to keep the peas covered as they cook. Add 1 teaspoon of the salt and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes more, or until the peas are soft and almost dry.
- Puree the peas with a stick (immersion) blender, or transfer to a food processor and puree. Let the puree cool completely; it will thicken considerably.
- In a large mortar, grind the garlic with the remaining 1 teaspoon salt into a smooth paste. Add 2 cups or so of the puree and continue grinding to incorporate the garlic. Or use a blender or a small food processor.
- In a large bowl, combine the garlic mixture, the remaining pea puree, the oil, 3 tablespoons each vinegar and wine, the oregano and pepper to taste, stirring vigorously to incorporate. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
- If the skordalia seems too thick, add a little vinegar, wine or water to thin. Spread on a large plate, sprinkle with oregano, garnish with toppings of your choice and serve.
- Note: Instead of yellow split peas, you can also make this with dried peeled fava beans or with the same amount of cooked mashed chickpeas or white beans, such as cannellini.
