Take you Split Peas and give them a good rinse and sort through
Put them in a pan adding 3 cups of water to every 1 cup of Peas too.IMG_4358.JPG

Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30-40 minutes or so.IMG_4368.JPG

And whilst cooking have the diced onions in a pan ready to go…IMG_4371.JPGGive them a good glug of oil & season with your favourite herbs and spice, 
Keeping it simple we thought just salt, and mixed pepper would be nice.IMG_4372.JPGIMG_4377.JPG

Then when the onions are soft and the lentils all done
Add them to your blender and for the best bit of fun….IMG_4374.JPG

Whizz the mixture around until you achieve this great mash yellow and bright…IMG_4380.JPG
