Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon canola oil

1 medium yellow onion -- diced

2 stalks celery -- diced

2 large carrots -- diced

3 garlic cloves -- minced (3 or 4)

6 cups water

1 cup green split peas -- rinsed

1/2 cup pearl barley

2 large white potatoes -- coarsely chopped

2 tablespoons dried parsley

2 teaspoons dried oregano or thyme leaves

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 cups chopped fresh spinach

1 teaspoon salt -- (about)

 

1. In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery,

carrots, and garlic and cook, stirring, for about 7 minutes. Add the water,

split peas, barley, potatoes, parsley, oregano, and pepper and bring to a simmer

over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring

occasionally, until the peas are tender, about 1 hour. Stir in the spinach and

salt and cook over low heat for 10 to 15 minutes.

TIP - To speed up the cooking time, soak the split peas in water for 1 hour

before cooking.
