Instructions
- 1.
- Cook split peas following package instructions.
- You want to overcook these a bit, since they will be pureed.
- Once the split peas are cooked, allow to completely cool off.
- Either in a blender or in a large bowl/container, add the cooked split peas and all of the spices, lemon juice, and olive oil.
- Mash or puree the ingredients, until it becomes a thick paste or puree.
- If the mixture is too dry add a couple of tablespoons of water, one at a time.
- 2.
- To the puree, mix in the shredded carrot and sliced onion; combine well.
- Taste for salt and pepper, and adjust to your liking.
- Serve on sliced bread/toast or crackers.
- I served mine on whole grain bread that was covered in seeds and oatmeal and it was perfect!
- You could also use this spread to dip fresh vegetables instead of using fatty dressings.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator , but use it up in the next day or two.
