1 lb. yellow split peas
3 1/2 C water
1 - large onion, diced
1 - can tomato paste
2 - cloves garlic, pressed
1/2 t ginger, or 1" ginger, peeled and minced
1/2 t turmeric
1/2 t ground black pepper
0 - salt to taste
Soak split peas for 30mins-1hr. Drain, sort, rinse. Sauté onion and garlic in enough water so they don't stick. Add tomato paste. Add 3 cups of water, split peas, and remaining spices. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for about 35 minutes. Check periodically and give it a stir. The water should evaporate, but if the peas start to stick, add more water and simmer again. You want the peas to be slightly chunky, slightly creamy.

Other folks liked this, but I thought it was nasty. Maybe if the split peas were cooked longer or pureed that would make it better. The flavor wasn't bad; I just didn't like the texture.
