Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

2 cups green split peas -- uncooked

8 cup water

2 bay leaves

1/2 tsp ground tumeric

1 tsp salt

2 Tbs olive oil

2 tsp ginger -- peeled and minced

2 tsp jalapenos -- seeded and chopped

4 Tbs black mustard seeds -- ground or 1 tbs dry

mustard

3 Tbs water

3 oz coconut -- shredded and

sweetened

1 dab butter

For garnish: Cilantro -- chopped (optional)

 

Mix ground mustard powder in with water and allow to sit

for 30 minutes.

 

Bring split peas and water to a boil. Lower heat to

medium. Add bay leaves and tumeric. Simmer, covered, until

peas are done, 40 to 45 minutes. (When pressed between the

thumb and the index finger, they break easily.) While

simmering, uncover occasionally and stir, adding a Tbs or

so of hot water if the mixture sticks to the bottom of the

pan.

 

When cooked, remove and discard bay leaves. Add salt and

keep warm. Heat oil in a small, 6-inch skillet over

medium-low heat. Saute ginger root and jalapeno until

ginger is lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add mustard

paste and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.

Add coconut and stir several times. Remove from heat. Pour

over the pea mixture and stir. (I had to drain my peas,

because I still had lots of water in mine.) Let stand

covered for 15 minutes. Add a dab of butter if desired and

garnish with cilantro.
