INSTRUCTIONS
1. Rinse the split peas, cover with 1 gallon of water, and simmer until
soft.
2. While the peas cook, saute the onions and chili peppers in a 2-1/2
gallon stockpot until the onions are translucent.
3. Add the spices and saute for 2-3 minutes more, stirring continuously to
prevent the onions from burning. Turn off the heat.
4. In a separate pot, blanch the sweet potatoes until barely tender.
5. Add the sweet potatoes with 1 1/2 qts. of water (or stock from the sweet
potatoes) the cauliflower, and the peppers to the sauteed onions. Simmer
until all the vegetables are tender.
6. While the vegetables simmer, puree the cooked split peas and cooking
liquid, if any, in a blender until velvety.
7. Rinse, stem, and coarsely chop the spinach.
8. When the vegetables are done, stir in the puree, the spinach, lemon
juice, and salt. Simmer until the spinach just wilts.
Meal Planning: *This is a high-protein, low-fat curry that gains its rich
taste and golden color from pureed yellow split peas. It is chock-full of
nutrients and flavor. *If desired, top with yogurt (i.e., Tzatziki) and
serve on rice with a sweet spicy Chutney (Oasis Chutney; or Peach Chutney).
Prep Time: 30 mins. Cooking Time: 1 hour.
