INSTRUCTIONS
8 SERVINGS VEGAN
Scalloped-shaped pattypan squash make a stunning container for yellow split
peas. You can use medium-sized squash for a main or side dish, or, if the
baby variety is available, serve as a first course or as hors d'oeuvres.
In medium saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add shallots and cook,
stirring often, until soft, about 2 minutes. Add jalapenos and dill and
cook, stirring often, 2 minutes. Add split peas, water and salt. Bring to a
boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer until peas are tender but still
hold their shape, 25 to 30 minutes. Let stand covered for 5 minutes. If
liquid is not absorbed, drain mixture.
Cut squash in half crosswise. In large nonstick skillet, brown squash over
medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of water, cover and cook until tender, 10 to
12 minutes. Spoon split pea mixture into squash halves.
